Babes Brunch San Diego

Female Networking Event at Flora The Venue

This classy, San Diego networking event was our sixth Babes Brunch event we’ve hosted over the past two years and our very first event held outside of the Pacific Northwest.

The special thing about Babes Brunch is that it’s not just a beautiful party. The mission behind the event is one that not only WE feel passionate about, but our guests feel every big as passionate about as well.  We’re on a mission to create a community where women feel empowered to express ideas, share feelings, celebrate success, have fun and just be. We want to provide a space where hard working creatives support one another, leaving comparison and competition at the door.  We strive to provide a beautiful and thoughtfully designed space where ladies can come and feel pampered and appreciated, forgetting about their agendas and to-do lists. Our main goal is to bring local industry babes together because we know how important it is to develop connections and build relationships with fellow creatives. 

This evening December celebration was hosted at Flora, a brand new indoor venue in San Diego’s hip Gas Lamp District. Our guests sipped on marionberry mules and pear collins cocktails, shaken up by Wild Roots Spirits, while also pampering themselves at the braid bar by the amazing, local hair artist Styled by Jordan and creating their own herbal tea blends at the pop-up tea station by Herb+Nectar! We believe in spoiling our guests and providing them with the well deserved “me time” that they usually don’t create for themselves.

Harvest Kitchen, a local San Diego catering company served a beautiful four course dinner with a fun brunch twist. We dined on wild arugula & pomegranate salad, shrimp & grits, savory bread pudding and grilled watermelon. There’s nothing more special than sitting around a beautifully designed table and connecting with other ladies who share the same dreams, experiences and ideas!

We wanted the tablescape to be extra inviting and to feel like a big dinner party with 40 of your best friends! Each place setting had a hand lettered place card and custom info clipboard by the incredibly talented Lauren of A Fabulous Fete!

Our new, dear friend Rachel with Siren Floral Co created the most stunning, modern ceiling installation featuring painted dried stems, suspended above the two long tables. The tabletop florals were organic and artistic, with local San Diego stems arranged in an airy and simplistic fashion.

The opportunity to collaborate and connect with creatives outside of our PNW realm was such a special experience. We were met with so much excitement and encouragement… from people who knew little to none about our whole Babes Brunch mission.

Throughout the season we are constantly creating events and moments for our clients; but amidst all the emails, timeline meetings, and venue walkthroughs…we carve out time for Babes Brunch because it is a time for us to be creative, dream big designs and pamper the ladies who work so hard for their clients and businesses all throughout the year. We will continue to host Babes Brunch events throughout the year, every year, because it’s simply an event that’s worth making time for!
