Just about the Best Website EVER - LAYLA GRACE

If you haven't already you must, I mean MUST check out this website. Layla Grace has the best of whatever you need; from furniture, linens, baby items, gifts, bag etc.... Everything is just fantastic.

About Layla Grace
At Layla Grayce, we truly, madly, deeply care about design, about creating the perfectly decorated room that expresses your unique sense of self, and finding perfect items for gifts or everyday. These are things that can make a difference in the quality of our lives and those dear to us. We feel that beautiful surroundings bring harmony, balance and happiness to your home and life, and strive to showcase products that will achieve this philosophy. Beautiful surroundings that express your personal take on lifestyle shouldn’t be a luxury – it should be a necessity.

Layla Grayce is the brainchild of Wendy Rossiter Estes and Tiffany Pyne Harris, lifelong friends with a passion for business and design and a love for discovering unique items. Traveling through Europe after college, they were inspired by the antiques, art and furnishings of the countries they visited. Years passed as they started families and worked on their individual careers, designing homes and interiors for clients, friends and family along the way. Encouraged to share their talents and finds with others, they created Layla Grayce.

Together they have selected a remarkable collection of items for home, women and children, carefully selecting every product, artisan and manufacturer to ensure their business philosophies and craftsmanship are worthy of your home and lifestyle. Never mainstream but always functional, Layla Grayce products are designed for longevity – everyday heirlooms that can be passed on to future generations. For everyone dedicated to creating an inspired haven that reflects a stylish, creative take on lifestyle, we bring you Layla Grayce.

WHY TO HIRE A CERTIFIED WEDDING PLANNER

As most of you are aware of the recent front page issue with a local non-certified wedding planner, Affairs with Flair who took many couples money and left them hours before this wedding. The story was featured on the front page of The Toronto Star on August 8th and then again on August 11th . Yesterday morning the President of The Wedding Planners Institute of Canada (WPIC), Danielle Andrews Sunkel, was asked to appear on Canada AM to discuss the importance of hiring a Certified Wedding Planner. Here is the link - Canada AM - WPIC
Luxury Events is proud to be WPIC Certified
