KBE’s Creative Director, Kristin Banta, tends to find inspiration for the weddings and events she designs in strange and unexpected places. “I may see something on the runway or in a television show and end up doing a deep dive into the history and origin of the smallest detail that captivated me,” she explains. “I love using Pinterest as a research tool, as the ability to rabbit hole into foreign worlds of travel, architecture, fashion, and nature changes the entire way in which I perceive my surroundings. There is nothing that is inaccessible to us in the digital age, which makes it easy to find inspiration.”

This baggage has me emotional. Louis Vuitton has sealed its first luxury hotel inside one of its iconic Monogram trunks … and we are obsessed. Located on the Champs-Elysees in Paris, the hotel is set to open in 2026. 👜

We were truly A-MAZED with how this intimate wedding came to life. Inspired by #legendsofzelda and the couple’s love of greenhouses, this whimsical wedding took guests on a journey from space to space through @vibianaevents and @redbirdla. Take a peek at this beauty! 🍃

Celebrating is not hard to do when you’ve got clients as wonderful as this! We loved working with Tally & Kirby to produce their white party at Husky Stadium in Seattle. It was truly a night to remember.

Had so much fun chatting with @sonja_irondiamond and @summithillstudios on the @weddingdaypodcast about unconventional wedding planning and crafting immersive wedding experiences. And I took a trip down memory lane as we discussed some of my most memorable wedding designs, like this “Heaven and Hell” inspired wedding.

If given the option to select a side, which would you choose? 🪽😈

Check out the podcast - the link is in my stories!

Paradise Found 🌴

This Hawaiian-inspired 70th surprise birthday party gave total island vibes! Attendees started at a cocktail hour featuring hula dancers, ukulele players and a thatched bar serving up Mai Tais in tiki cups along with a conch blower signaling a reveal of dinner behind custom bamboo doors. A transformed tennis court popped with tropical tablescapes and mixed textiles, an authentic tiki band and a Hawaiian inspired menu. Later, Haka dancers led guests to a surprise after party showcasing a second band and DJ playing from our 1960’s tiki bar inspired lounge.

This one truly captured the spirit of Aloha. 🌺

For the Closing Night Party, EPIC conference goers were California Dream’ poolside at @fswestlake’s all-new grand pool, The Cove. ☀️🌊👙🏖️🩳

Inspired by The Beach Boys and Beach Blanket Bingo, the space was transformed into a 1960s poolside extravaganza featuring @thedreamboats (a high energy retro surf band), colorful lounge vignettes, surfboard inspired bars and chefs stations, and a breakout performance of 1960’s beach party Gogo dancers.
