How it all Began
Colleen and Crystal were looking for a change and were both in the process of planning their weddings. Affordable Elegance Chair Covers & Linens (AECC) was founded in November 2005, in response to the Metro Detroit’s need for superior quality and selection of specialty linens at an affordable price.
Owners Colleen Galacz and Crystal Watkins are involved in daily operations and every detail of your event to ensure that each event is prepared to perfection.
Colleen and Crystal stay in tune with the event industry’s ever- changing new colors and fabrics and travel annually to the national Special Events Trade Show. They are involved in the community and in the Greater Metro Detroit Chapter of the NACE, ABC and ISES . Colleen was also awarded Member of the Year for the National Association of Catering Executive.
How LUXE came to be….
After 8 years, and thousands of events, Colleen and Crystal decided to upgrade the linen collection. With this new offering, it was also time to upgrade our name to capture the feel of the new luxurious linens.
