It isn’t every time you have a friend that is not only amazing as a individual but is also a BOSS Lady doing amazing things in her niche. I am pleased to introduce you to the brains behind Luxbow Linens
Please tell us a little bit about yourself?
My name is Bukkie Alimi. I am a mother of 3, a student, a business owner, a daughter, a sister, a friend and most importantly, a child of God.
What 3 words would you most like people to use to describe you?
Caring, Creative, Compassionate
Who inspires you and why?
I am inspired by my children because I see them doing great things because of what I instill in them such as fly your wings, reach for the sky and live a purposeful life and because of them, I aim to do the same thing daily both personally and professionally.
What motivated you to begin your business Luxbow Linens?
As a kid, my father would say “Shakespare” in response to certain questions I ask. One day, I asked what “Shakespare” meant. His response was “why not/ if not”. That stuck with me. Why not do what you love and are passionate about. As long as I can remember, I love seeing things come together. I can rearrange the same room and enjoy seeing how it comes together.
How do you balance being a mom of 3, student and entrepreneur?
I am still learning how to balance being a mom, student and entrepreneur. Being a mom is far the toughest title up to date but I know if I am happy in life it makes the process easier for me to be a mom and a wife. I don’t take things that makes me happy for granted such as fly my wings, reaching for the sky, and walking in my own truth.
Any advice to the audience regarding following their dream/passion.
Your dream and passions are yours, you have to believe in them as much as you believe you need breath to stay alive. Don’t wait for anyone to push you. When given a day to be alive, treasure it and use it as a day to follow that dream/passion as best as you can.
What has been your greatest learning experience regarding being an entrepreneur?
The greatest learning experience is always to be human first. Big or small event always think to myself that this is the event that will define my work, leaving a stamp of my work in the events. I remind myself if I can think it, I can accomplish it.
What are your plans for the future?
Plans for Luxbow Linens is to expand Luxbow Linens in both Chicago land area and surburbs. Also provide services out of state. Providing great service and great customer service will always remain Luxbow’s main goal.
Besides working, what do for fun?
Dancing, traveling, exploring, spending time with family and friends, laughing and having a good time. I’d like to do that more.
Now you can see why I had to share this creative gem with the world. It has been a delight watching her grown into the woman, mother and enterprenure that she is. It is because of this lady that I had a wedding reception at all (story for another day… hahaha).
If you are like me and would not like to be bothered with the decor/arrangements/planning for an upcoming Birthday, Graduation, Introduction/Engagement, Wedding, Bridal Shower, Baby Shower, Girls Night Event or private hosting, look no further, this is your girl. Everyone that worked with her always speaks highly of her work ethic and character.

Are those snapshots of her work? Beautiful. I can see her passion through it. And it’s interesting to see someone who is passionate about seeing things come together. Never heard that before or heard it expressed like that. Lovely interview. Keep up the good work, Bukkie.
I had my first experience with Bukkie when she did my baby shower decor and I was so amazed by her level of professionalism, her amazing talent and pleasant personality!! Keep it up Bukkie you’re going to go places and become a household name for beautiful events!
I have seen her work on different occasions, her design, decor and organization is simply beautiful . I also like the uniqueness of her business and I have heard she’s very discipline which I like. Even though I haven’t used her services personally, I look forward to doing business with her. Great job and good luck!
These are such gorgeous setups with her linens. Stunning! Great to get to hear more about her journey as well.
These are all so very beautiful. Luxbow Linens has the most exquisite designs from the first to the dessert table. From the interview I can see why her work is so perfect and gorgeous. She reflects in her designs. Her positive attitude and heart..
I couldn’t agree more!
Wow, she is so incredibly talented! The way these events come together with stunning colours and these luxurious key pieces make these memories people will not soon forget!
Wow! These table settings look amazing. I’m not one to host many dinner parties, but I’d love to attend one with such a gorgeous decor. She is doing a fabulous job!
I always love a good tabletop. It really sets the tone for a reception. Many people don’t value the linens, BUT they need to because they make such a difference!
Wow these photographs of her work are absolutely beautiful!!! She is so talented and inspiring!
It was a pleasure to meet Bukkie. She is amazing and talented. Her work is so good. Thanks for sharing.
It was lovely to learn more about Bukkie and what she does. Her work is really talented and beautiful. Such an inspiring lady.
What a smart service! These settings are gorgeous and so well put together! Great to see how dedicated and passionate she is to not only her career but also her life as a whole. Very inspiring and again, such great talent!
i love the photos 🙂 wow such an inspiring and talented woman 🙂 the table setting looks so awesome
The setup and her work is so amazing. Talk about creativity! It was nice to hear about her. Her name sounds Nigerian. All this great work and being a mom of three, hats off!
Yes, she is a proud Nigerian. Thanks for stopping by 🙂
Her work is amazingly beautiful, first of all. I wish she lived closer so that I could utilize her services. From this point on, from this point on, Shakespeare will be my response to my girls when they’re being tentative about doing something (more than likely when they’re scared.
Very coll and inspiring post. Bukkie Alimi’s linen looks perfect for any event. Where is she located?
She services the Chicago Land area and neighboring surburbs but she is available for out of state events.
Beautiful arrangements and table layouts. I can see why she is successful. Her drive and the love for her company shows in her work. An amazing lady and inspiration to many.
Pretty impressive work! I can definitely see her passion and love for what she does through her excellent design and classy decor.
I loved this part: Why not do what you love and are passionate about.” from the interview. That is my motto and always go by that. What an inspiration!
Beautiful photos and such amazing work. Wish you were closer I am having an engagement party for my daughter.
These arrangements are sooo beautiful!!! It’s soo inspiring to hear that someone is successful in doing what she loves to do! Definitely gives me a kick in the butt to follow my passions!
Such an eye for lovely! And yes, Shakespeare indeed! I agree about balance, it’s hard when what you really want to do is spend all of your time with your kids. Of course, there HAS to be more to enrich you. Kids grow up.
These linens are so stunning. We need to check out her company because we are event planning influencers.
Wow, she has done some absolutely beautiful work! What an inspiring, boss lady!! I wish she could plan an event for me!
What a fantastic interview! I’ve enjoyed reading this, her work looks simply flawless, you can see she cares for every detail.
Love her Dad’s insight on Shakespeare, really cool and something I am going to take with me. Also love the linen and dessert table, super cute set up.
Learning to be a human is a great lesson. It’s okay to mess up and we always need to take care of ourselves. Also being a mom, student and entrepreneur is a lot. She seems to do it well.
I love interviews with women paving their own way and creating something unique and cool while juggling family life – great interview, thanks for sharing
