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!

Babes Brunch Disco

Babes Brunch started out as just a fun idea.. 20 industry girls, an intimate brunch & a beautiful design. Today, Babes Brunch is an event encompassing all creative women; spoiling them and letting them unwind and connect with like minded ladies in an exquisitely designed space.

We hosted our most recent 90 person Babes event at the stunning Evergreen venue in Portland, OR and we could not be more thrilled with how it turned out!

From the fun guest attire to the disco ball photobooth backdrop, our ‘Daylight Disco’ theme was brought to life in so many ways!

For the tablescape we chose modern black chairs and beautiful, stark white tables from Vintage Meets Modern. Each setting was adorned with a tiny disco ball and custom place card and menu from Seek Paper Co. Suspended over the tables were incredible cloud like, baby’s breath installations by Brier & Ivy.

The guest pampering entailed a lash bar by Styled by Mal, as well as numerous local pop-up shops selling unique, curated items! The spoiling continued with a cotton candy machine, speciality cocktails by Public Provisions and a full dessert spread by The Hungry Hero!

The love, support and community within these events is something super special. Both, the guests that attend and the incredible vendors that contribute truly make Babes Brunch what it is.

We are so excited to be taking this amazing event on the road this year, making Babes Brunch accessible to ladies all across the country! Keep an eye out for new release dates and locations and send us a message if you think Babes Brunch should come to your city!

Babes Brunch Morocco

Babes Brunch is a special time for creative women in the industry to gather in a beautiful space to brunch, laugh, connect and encourage one another! It’s so important to us to bring together a group of inspirational, hard-working girls and spoil them the way each of them deserves!

Our November Babes Brunch at The Bindery in McMinnville, Oregon, was a dreamy, Moroccan inspired event like no other! 60 amazing, creative women joined us for an afternoon of pure pampering and fun. We wanted to provide a space where women could just show up, relax, indulge and enjoy.. something that is so rare for those working in the creative industry! Kore Herbals setup a DIY Sugar Scrub bar and with Union Wine Co. bubbles in hand, everyone lined up to snap fun group photos with Smirk Photobooth Co!

The Moroccan inspired design was brought to life by an incredible group of vendors! Bowerbird events draped the room with textured, tan fabric to give a sort of tent feel. Marisa of Revel Petals decked out the space with pampas grass, hanging tumble weeds and large dried installations, suspended over the tables! We hand selected all of the rentals from Classic Vintage and set up large lounge areas for the ladies to sit and chat with one another! The edible table runner by Savour and Graze was one of our favorite aspects of the bunch… seriously a work of art! 

We are over the moon that Green Wedding Shoes published this amazing event on their blog!
