Yesterday I paid a visit to one of my favorite local linen Rental companies. On my hunt for the perfect floor length linen for the office (I found it by the way), I worked up a conversation with the guru of design. As she and I were discussing what's "in" for the season, we ran across a few favorite items. Thought I'd share:
1. Hot Pink is ABSOLUTELY still hot! I happen to love this color in the Bengaline fabric, and if you're looking for a way to make your party "pop", think pink for sure.
2. Flatware-This season flatware has certainly undergone MAJOR changes. Who would think that forks and knives could be so fun? (Ask your local company for a sample of their deco line-FAB-U-LOUS!)
3. Chargers-Certainly a must for the table, chargers are now being designed just as funky as the china that they support...
4. China- You will definitely notice more square options this season. I also found that alot more companies are offering the rounded center within the square shell.
5. Last but certainly not least- Linens! (When I say I spent FOREVER trying to find 1 linen for 1 table, I mean forever). This season, designers have gone all out to create the most georgeous selection of linens I've seen in a long time. Just when you think that you've found "the one", the next item you find is sure to out do the last. Here's a hint-MIX and match. Use your imagination to mix and match fabric types of complimentary colors...who's to say you can't have it all.
Oh, how could I forget? The most common color so far for the new season, isn't even 1 color. Jeweled tones are the "it" for the new year.
Happy partying!

Linens N' Things
I'm often contacted by couples in the beginning phase of their planning process, looking to create an event "unlike any other". While I always advise my couples to make sure their event reflect thier styles and their tastes, I also remind them that financially, they should stay within their established budgets.
The easiest way by far to create a spectacular event is by allocating a percentage of the budget to decor. Now, this can include lighting, pipe & drape, glassware, flatware and any absurd number of rentals, but the easiest way (and usually quite affordable) is by far...the Linens.
Linens can transform a regular table instantly and create the "wow" factor most couples desire. These days, the choices are sooooo amazing. With new colors, textures and patterns options are endless.
With pricing typically ranging from $14 for plain polyester to $+++ for options such as silk/bengaline, it may not be practical to "dress" each of your 30+ guest tables. A nice option however, is to use overlays on the tables which are typically less expensive or if you are truly limited in funds, use linens to highlight options such as the cake, guestbook or head table.
