Meet our Creative Director

In 2021, Grace Liston was planning her own wedding. But the logistics of sourcing beautiful table linen, and transporting to regional Victoria proved a tad difficult.

“We sourced our table linen from Melbourne which was beautiful, however tricky with logistics to pick it up and drop off, or otherwise delivery was quite pricy,” Grace remembers.

Seeing a need in the local market for luxury event linen (without the hassle!) Grace started exploring manufacturing. Over several months, she worked closely with textile engineers in India, creating custom colours and patterns from the ground up.

“From fabric selection, to softness, heaviness and sizes, through to the colours and patterns of the designs themselves, all of our napery products have been created with textile engineers to be beautiful, and to retain their integrity and quality after multiple washes,” Grace explains.

Gone are the days of plain cotton cloths for your wedding or special party; ELL Events napery is available in ten colour-ways! Grey Gum, Deep Sage, Forest Green, Oatmeal, Natural White, Wattle Gingham, Olive Gingham, Oatmeal Gingham, Bluestone Pinstripe and Rust Pinstripe. In addition to this, Grace has also designed three staple table cloths: Natural White, Stone and Flax.

“With a love for timeless pieces, I am excited to make quality more accessible to rural areas in South West Victoria and regional centres outside Melbourne,” Grace says.

“I am really wanting to inject a fun side into weddings and event styling, through colour and beautiful products.”
