Kristin Banta of Kristin Banta Events, the fabulous LA wedding planner and designer, Junebug member, and dear friend of ours, is such a rock star that she has her very own reality TV special coming up on Bravo! “The Wedding Party” will premiere this Monday, May 14th, 8pm/11pm ET/PT, following along with Kristin as she produces an incredible wedding for one special couple. You better believe that the whole Junebug team has it etched in stone on our calendars!

Knowing Kristin and having published a number of her events over the years, I have gotten to peek behind the scenes at the planning, organizing and artistic visualizing that Kristin and her team devote to every wedding – it’s truly remarkable! Her design sense is like no other. She creates events that are as visually spectacular as they are thoughtful, personal and meaningful. No detail is left undone, and every moment is considered from the guests’ point of view to be sure the whole experience of the wedding day is seamless.

To get ready for the big show this Monday, take a look back at some of the Kristin Banta events we’ve showcased on Junebug, and if you’re a Twitterer, follow along with us during the show (@junebugweddings) and let Kristin and Bravo know what you think! Don’t forget to use the hash tag #TheRingLeader, and Tweet it up with the people involved – @KristinBanta, @BravoTV, @BravoAndy and @BravoPR.

Inspired by the exotica of old-world sea ports, Kristin combined nautical and gypsy traveler elements, with a navy, cinnamon and orange color palette to create a fantasy-filled environment for this wedding at Korakia Pensione in Palm Springs. See the full event here…
