“Spring is here…we can’t go out and properly celebrate, so why not do it at home”, Ledja Cobb exclaims.  A former Los Angeles fashion executive, and married to six-times Grammy-winning music producer Dave Cobb, Ledja is the avid hostess extraordinaire.  Hence it was only a matter of time before she and another dear friend, Kimberly Lewis of Emerson Grace, put their minds together to come up with their new entertaining idea- “an invitation-only intimate gathering of women focused on bringing native Nashvillians and newcomers together.”  Add to this a collaboration with The Nashville Edit, and a perfect evening it became.

 

“FLOWERS IN BLOOM”

The guests wore their own interpretation of Spring’s arrival, donning colorful florals and bright bold colors.  The evening’s theme was also an integral part of the decor throughout Ledja’s home.  A wall decorated with floral bouquets welcomed guests into the home, and beautiful flower arrangements were dotted throughout the party area.

“TENNESSEE MODERNISM”

The locale was Chéz Cobb, home of Ledja, Dave, and family- A 1969 Tennessee Modernist home designed by famed architect Robert Anderson, and renovated by the Cobbs.
