All Four Seasons:

For brides who know the key to creating ambience at their wedding affair begins with the décor, All Four Seasons Linens & Bridal  is a goldmine. The five year old shop, located on the city’s northwest side, has been making its name as an affordable option for brides and grooms who envision their wedding spaces bathed in beautiful colors and accessories.
Originally a shop dedicated only to bridal flowers, All Four Seasons now specializes in bridal décor, a change that was a natural extension of its humble beginnings says Betty Cardona, who owns the business with her husband, Roger.
“Brides would often hire us to do their flowers and would ask if we also offered other rentals,” says Cardona. “We soon realized that creating atmosphere required numerous elements and decided to offer our couples complete service that included flowers, linens and props.”
Today, among Cardona’s best sellers are textured table linens (available in over 80 unique colors), overlays, chair covers and sashes as well as ornate décor pieces like lighted arches, pillars and candle and floral stands. Available for celebrations as small as 50 people to sizeable affairs of 800 guests, Cardona believes the secret to producing a romantic look begins with selecting rich fabrics and building on a theme to set the tone for the evening and, naturally, helps couples find the right combination of trimmings to completely transform a room.
Armed with swatch books, photo  albums of past work and her knowledge of hundreds of local venues, Cardona works with the bride and groom to generate fresh and innovative ideas for their wedding.
“Couples will bring in pictures of décor and floral pieces they love and we discuss the ways they can personalize the look and stay within their budget,” Cardona says.
Clients who work with All Four Seasons may also appreciate the flexibility the shop offers when it comes to bridal décor. Brides, for example, may opt to for full service which includes delivery, set-up and pick-up of the items or she may choose to simply rent the pieces she needs and assemble the elements herself.
“We know that many couples have a number of expenses,” says Cardona “so, we work with them to find the most beneficial arrangement so that they can get exactly what they want without breaking the bank.”
And, their commitment to brides and, indeed, all party planners, are paying off. These days the Cardona’s provide décor for three to four events a week, a fact that the owners  admit is very gratifying.
Still, throughout the entire process, Cardona says that the best part about consulting with couples is incorporating décor that is truly distinctive into their affair. “We just want them to be happy,” she says. “That’s what it’s all about.”
All Four Seasons Linens & Bridal operates on a flexible schedule to accommodate brides and grooms. To schedule your appointment with Betty Cardona at All Four Seasons, please call 210.737.2998.
