Linens make such a difference

If you have only one thing to splurge on for your wedding reception, consider splurging on linens. The pop of color or texture can make all the difference in the world when conveying your wedding story to your guests.

Look at what a difference linens make in the following rooms. The centerpieces are neither large or elaborate, yet the entire effect is one of coordinated sophistication, fun and elegance.

We carry beautiful linens customized just for you in any style, any budget and any size. Come see for yourself what a difference a beautiful linen can do for your event.

Inspiration can be anywhere

Where can a couple find inspiration for their wedding day? I always urge newlyweds to think carefully on how they want to share their wedding story with their guests. It is very important not to just choose vendors and items for their wedding willy nilly, but to choose a common "theme" so that all of their choices make sense and flow together when the end result is presented. Not only does this make sense but it can also save the couple valuable budget dollars and time.

Inspiration for their day could come from a color, a season, a place, a shared love of a book or poem, a hobby, or even a pattern. Here are some lovely wedding boards that took their inspiration from one particular love.

Since I love black damask, the above board from
http://www.lifelovelipstickblog.com/ is a natural for me.

Maybe you love the color lavender in all of its forms or maybe your grandmother left you a treasured china set - notice the middle bottom picture in the above board from http://www.fancyfornyc.com/. A beloved set of china would be a perfect inspirational piece to build your wedding from. Set your head table with the china and take clues from the pattern and the color for the rest of your wedding.

The above board from http://www.blog.withthisfavor.com/ is a perfect way to incorporate your favorite food. In this case, candied apples were a bride's wish to share with her guests. Everything else fell into place once the couple decided that fall best suited their wedding plans.
