From Jeanette of Party Crush Studio, "For months, I have been working on my newest table linen collection and I just knew I wanted to share it with my amazing wedding pro-tribe."

"So what better way than to host a Galentine's Champagne Party! The concept for this shoot originated from my love of Valentine's Day and the team's obsession with the novel Fifty Shades of Grey."
