Linen Pick of the Week: Adele Lamour

Our pick of the week is an eye-catching adele lamour. This floral design features deep purple and cerise accent colors, leading to the use of these tones throughout your wedding decor. When using such a detailed linen, it's important to keep the other design elements simple, as you want to avoid overwhelming the space.    


 

If a client chose this linen for their event, we would suggest using the deep purple and cerise highlighted in the flowers of the fabric to complete the design of the decor. You can see how these colors would then inspire the choice of flowers and centerpieces, as well as the cake.  By looking closely at the linen, you can also see how we would select the style of the invitations and escort cards to replicate the intricate black floral design that accompanies the colored flowers on the fabric.

A beautiful linen can inspire your entire wedding decor, from the save the date cards to the thank you notes. All it takes is a close eye and attention to detail, and you can successfully create the space you envisioned! Need help making your ideas come to fruition?

Making your Headtable a Work of Art!

It is your special day, and you may have asked 4 close people in your life to stand by you during it, or possibly 20.  No matter what your bridal party count is, there are unique and creative ways to help make your head table the center of attention at your wedding reception.

There is much debate this season about long head tables vs sweetheart tables, and there is one important factor to remember...the decision is YOURS. First you want to decide if you want everyone at your table, or just you and your new husband.  (remember the time spent at the dinner table averages 15-25 minutes out of the reception for the bride and groom).  The most popular trends in head table set ups are:

After you choose your set up, now you must decide on decorating the head table.  You can use the same linens and chairs as your guests, or reverse the colors.  You can work with your florist to build your own arbor or frame the table with an amazing backdrop.

A Design professional in your area, like The Events Company, Syracuse New York, can create a design to meet your vision.   If you wish to incorporate floral, make sure your designer has a great relationship with the florist.

Chair Covers: What kind to choose?

There are three areas of décor most brides are concerned about when they walk into a raw venue: the color of the rug, walls and chairs. Walls and floors can be altered and muted with lighting and other décor designs, but chair covers are the element you can have the most fun with. There are hundreds of color combination ideas available, in various linen fabrics and styles, and dozens of design concepts - it is impossible to keep up sometimes!

Here are some chair cover options available at The Events Company in Syracuse, New York.
