Keep up with all the news from Napa Valley Linens!

One of the best things about being in the special event industry are the amazing, creative connections that we’ve made – in the San Francisco Bay Area, and all around the world! The incredible Very Mary Inspired invited us to take part in her Sketchbook Series, a workshop for creative professionals; whether we were sending gorgeous linens for attendees to sketch or hosting a workshop in our showroom, we have loved being a part of her classes! Now she is taking the Sketchbook Series all around the country, and we are so excited to be going with her (at least, our linens are)! Next stop – Maui!

Don’t Miss the Next Class!

Tomorrow is the workshop in Maui, where Hawaiian event professionals will learn to bring their designs and concepts to life through incredible, creative sketches. Mary is touring the US after that, with stops in Sacramento, Atlanta, LA, and New York City! Check out upcoming cities and classes here!

We were delighted to be a part of The Sketchbook Series East Bay in a big way, by playing host to some of the Bay Area’s most talented event designers and florists in our newly refurbished showroom! True to the spirit of the class, Mary sketched a phenomenal dessert bar to inspire attendees, realizing her vision with Bay Area dessert and design specialists Honeycomb Events & Design. They turned each, intricate detail of her design into delicious reality with a modern, geometric display in a playful palette of aqua, yellow, and coral. A cheerful, patterned cake from The Whole Cake added a fun pop to the geometric inspired treats, asymmetrical backdrop, and hanging gem chandelier, while Soul Flower Design Studio provided truly gorgeous floral designs to accent the spread and our showroom. We picked up her palette with linens in soft shades of aqua, with our raw silk Faux de Soie Aqua and geometric Tetris Aqua Table Runners. We are so excited

We could not be more excited to share our win The Knot Best of Weddings for 2015! It’s especially thrilling because this is the third year in a row that our amazing couples have helped us achieve this amazing accolade!

Napa Valley Linens is Voted Best of the Knot for 3 Years in a Row!

This year the bar was set especially high, per our very official press release announcing the win –

“In 2015, only 2% of the 250,000 local wedding professionals listed on TheKnot.com have received this distinguished accolade.  The Knot Best of Weddings provides a by-couples, for-couples guide to the top wedding professionals across the country. To determine the winners, The Knot assessed a sample of almost one million real reviews across the various vendor categories—venues, musicians, florists, photographers, caterers and more—that a bride or groom would want in order to inspire, plan and pull off their own unique wedding.”

We could not be more grateful to the amazing couples who made us a part of their wedding day and took the time to review us, making us eligible for the accolade. Of course, we could never have done it without the fantastic wedding and event professionals who have collaborated and worked with us over the years!

What a delight to open the latest issue of Diablo Weddings is out, and we were delighted to see that NVLinens was listed as a must-have staple for a glam wedding! From the magazine:

“Opulent ballrooms, chandeliers, and bold colors with glittering accents make a statement. Add moody up-lighting and go-go lights. Put together your tabletop settings starting with luxurious rentals from Napa Valley Linens in Emeryville.”

Check out all of the gorgeous inspiration in their latest edition, as well as a chic lighthouse inspired wedding shoot that we were a part of – more to come soon!

 

What a year it has been! 2014 ended up being a huge year for Napa Valley linens – we launched our new website, found ourselves in some amazing new markets, collaborated with some of the most incredible event professionals in the Bay Area and around the world, and finally managed to branch out into blogging! It is with a huge sigh of satisfaction – and a large glass of wine – that we sign off for the holidays! We’ll be back in 2015 with lots more to share!

Peace and Love from Napa Valley Linens!
