Inspirations

by Preston Bailey
with photography by John Labbe



      Absolutely drop-dead gorgeous! This is social planner to a virtual who's who of celebrities and CEOs, Preston Bailey's, new book. It features eleven extra special occasions styled by the King of Events himself, with trend-setting photography by John Labbe. Followers of high style and decor will fall in love with his follow-up to Preston Bailey's Fantasy Weddings. Mr. Bailey's mantra is illustrated in the visually rich example of his famous quote; "I never want a guest leave (one of my events) empty-headed. I want to provide them with a memory that will last a lifetime."

Inspirations spans the indoors, outdoors and both coasts. Stunning wide-angle portraits of events with Mr. Bailey's sparse commentary allow his magnificent talent to take center stage in this coffee table to reference library over-sized portfolio book. Those new to design and mega-event planning will know the professional company he keeps, with Oprah, Donald Trump, Regis Philbin, Matt Lauer and Liza Minnelli as devoted clients . A perfect idea book for gift giving for the "I've seen and done it all."  I'm sure though you'll end up keeping it for yourself. So buy two and luxuriate in one of what will be the all time great books on cutting edge stylized entertaining.
