Give Your Wedding a Little Extra Flair!

As your City Club on-site expert in wedding planning – I’ve decided to take a personal interest in making sure I know all of the who’s who in the wedding industry so I can make sure that we are sending you to only the best people and places in our San Francisco, Bay Area who can offer a great service from the beginning of your wedding planning process through to your big day!

One location I’ve discovered and can’t stop raving about is a store located in the newly declared “UpPo” (Upper Polk) called Flair – and let me tell you – they definitely have a “flair” for the fabulous life of a dedicated Bridesmaid! Since the topic of bridesmaid dresses is always so difficult with all of our different tastes, styles and body types, Flair has decided to embrace our differences as an opportunity for fun and elegance! Dorothea, the store manager of Flair, San Francisco is absolutely darling and makes sure to offer a personal and comfortable experience for everyone. As soon as you walk through the door, you immediately feel at home and know you’re in good hands! Suddenly the vision of the bride meets the practicality of the bridesmaid! Can this really be true?

On your next visit with your City Club Catering Manager, ask for the Flair Discount Coupon – they’ve offered to give all City Club Wedding Parties 10% off!!

Happy Shopping!
