Latest Linen Additions:
Majestic Brocade &
Olive Vintage Linen
With Farm Tables being a hot item in event decor and Rustic Chic a popular design trend we have added two new items to accessorize either look!
 | | Majestic Brocade & Antique Ivory Rosette |
First, the Majestic Brocade Runner is a rich deep plum & cocoa damask print that looks fabulous alone or layered with Burlap for that rustic feel; or try the Antique Ivory Rosette for a more luxurious touch! The new Olive Vintage Linen, available in 132" Rounds & Runners, is a soft, washable Faux Burlap that can be used for a simple, organic look or glam it up with a colorful Dupioni fabric, Burlap, or Faux Suede for a rustic chic ensemble!  | | Olive Vintage Linen, Burlap & Papaya Dupioni |

Styling The Event Tone with COLOR!
How important does the role of color play when planning a wedding or special event? What dynamic do the colors used in table linens and décor create for the success of an event?
As an event planner, not only is it necessary to stay on top of the current trends in special event planning but one of the first questions you should ask any client is what colors will play a key role to the success of their function. And, as equally important, what colors are inappropriate, for example, a Chinese New Year party should never incorporate the color white!!
Color can dramatically affect moods and emotions as well as influence certain physiological reactions. Interior Designers and artists have long understood the feelings that certain colors evoke personally and culturally.
"Colors, like features, follow the changes of emotions," as quoted by Pablo Picasso, so as an event planner if you are aware of color psychology you can certainly wow those social and corporate clients.
Click here to read on and discover what colors you can incorporate to set the tone that will create an impressionable response for your next event.
