THESE ARE THE FIVE LINENS YOU DIDN’T KNOW YOU WANTED FOR YOUR EVENT
No matter the size, style or setting of your event, odds are that you will need several types of linens. A few for guest tables, another style and/or color for specialty tables, cocktail tables and the list can go on. Color is one of the first things people jump to decide on when it comes to table cloths, napkins and even chair covers. But fabric is just as important, and sometimes certain fabrics call for adjusting your original plan regarding the colors.
Depending on the theme, tone or venue for your event, choosing the perfect linens is the very beginning to creating the perfect atmosphere. Whether it be a simple dinner, or an elaborate New Year’s Eve blow out, or whether you are looking to make one table stand out as the star of the show, your linens add to the story and feeling you convey with your event. So where do you begin? Below are just five of our favorite picks for linen fabrics.
Velvet
Velvet linens are currently a popular item around the holiday season and its popularity will continue throughout the rest of the cold winter months. Since it is a heavier fabric, velvet is also a desirable choice for fall, when the weather starts to turn, and the sweaters and boots come out. It can be an edgier linen option depending on color and the centerpieces you pair with it. But overall, velvet proves to be elegant, classic and sophisticated while setting your event apart from all the others with its unique elements.
Panama
With varying colors and unique texture, panama is a great compliment for a rustic, garden, industrial or purely fresh and different look to your event. This heavy fabric has a greater chance of withstanding windy weather for outdoor receptions, cocktail hours and more. Although the fabric itself has some weight to it, the overall look and feel of this fabric can be light, romantic, calm and appealing for spring and summer.
Sequin
Sequin fabric screams celebration! The ultimate party starter and #1 choice for New Year’s Eve, a sequin linen catches the eye and makes an inspiring impression. This fabric is ideal for highlighting specialty tables or to make your sweetheart or head table stand out among the rest. Certain colors, like fuchsia can help make this linen pop, or tone it down for a subtler statement or to use for all tables, with colors like blush or even black.
Satin
Satin linens are classic and timeless. Tried and true, a satin linen will dress up a room with ease and class. A versatile linen such as satin can seamlessly fit into a variety of event themes, styles and trends. From rustic tans and blushes to modern whites and violets or art deco blacks and golds, these linens add a little more to your event while sticking to your intended feel.
Poly
There is something about poly fabric that will never go out of style. Available in an extremely wide array of colors and with the ability to dress it up with most any centerpiece or table design, you can hardly go wrong with this linen for any event style. Clean and modest, this fabric is proof that simple can always be sweet!
