Preppy Kate Spade Event Inspiration – Introducing Spade Stripe Linens and Runners!

August 12, 2015

For all you lovers of our classic black and white striped Broadway linens out there – have no fear! We’re debuting its gorgeous replacement, our chic Spade Stripe today! To celebrate, we teamed with Hey Design Lady to create Kate Spade event inspiration with chic stripes, polka dots, sequins, and bright flowers!

To create a classic Kate Spade inspired table, we paired our new Spade Stripe in Black and White with our adorable polka dotted Domino Napkins. To capture the bright, preppy style of Kate Spade, Hey Design Lady created centerpieces of bright pink and yellow flowers in modern, square vessels, and added a hint of candlelight from votives with gold stripes and glitter. A gold sequin napkin ring hinted at what was to come!

For a fun and modern bar, we teamed the Spade Stripe Navy and White in a table runner with our Paris Gold sequins. Adorable cocktail straws in blue and white stripes echoed the pattern of the runner, and glittering washi tape flags picked up the sequins!

Modern Industrial Event Inspiration from ISES Napa-Sonoma

November 26, 2014

Participating in an ISES showcase event is always a pleasure – it gives us a change to spend time with some of the wedding and special event industry’s most talented and dedicated professionals! Wedding and event pros are some of the most social, talented, and innovative folks that we have had the pleasure of meeting, and something new and unique is always the result when we get together. Today’s ISES Napa-Sonoma Showcase is no exception! Many thanks to Gina Petersen Photography for sharing these photos with us!

These events are always incredibly collaborative, and give us a chance to try fresh ideas that we’d love to share with our clients. Encore Events Rentals was behind the styling for this event, inspired by the rustic industrial vibe of a new wine country venue, The Barlow in Sebastopol. The vaulted ceilings, concrete floor, and wooden interiors didn’t call for anything fussy or traditionally feminine, and we loved the look that Encore put together with wooden farm tables, metal chairs, and some of our bold, patterned linens! The combination of Ankara Metal, Niya Black and Ivory, and Houndstooth Runners looked perfect in the modern, industrial space, complemented by black goblets and pierced metal candle holders for dramatic tabletop decor. Aimee Lomeli Designs created low floral arrangements in soft yellow and dusty green – coxcomb and fiddlehead ferns added modern elements to the floral design that tied them in beautifully with the table decor! In the courtyard outside, cocktail tables set with Faux de Soie Citron linens held rustic metal lanterns and succulent arrangements, perfect for guests enjoying the food truck and local wineries!

Grey Likes Weddings Gets Married! Inside Summer Watkins Wedding

November 19, 2014

Classic Bride and Groom at Sunstone Winery | Jen Huang Photography | Grey Likes Weddings Gets Married! Inside Summer Watkins Custom Kirstie Kelly Wedding Dress | Jen Huang Photography | Grey Likes Weddings Gets Married! Inside Summer Watkins

When it comes to incredible wedding inspiration, Grey Likes Weddings is at the top of our list so when we were approached to provide linens for editor Summer Watkins’ wedding, we were thrilled! We’re just as happy to see her stunning wedding at Sunstone Vineyards & Winery, designed by Courtnie Purdy Fausner with gorgeous photos by Jen Huang is in the Winter Edition of Martha Stewart Weddings!

When Bride-to-be, Stylist, and Blogger Summer expressed an interest in our specialty linens for her wedding, it was clear that she had an incredible vision in mind. We loved watching that vision come together as we worked with her on linen selections – in keeping with her design for a crisp, classic wedding with preppy elements, she picked our appropriately named Summer Sugar linen! The luxuriously textured white linen was a gorgeous fit for Summer and Bryan’s chic and preppy wedding – their palette of emerald green and clean white paired beautifully with effusive coral, peach, and blush flowers by Lauryl Lane. An elegant swan motif was carried throughout their day – on their custom designed stationery designed by MaeMae & Co. and printed by Gus & Ruby Letterpress, in vintage bird shaped vessels on their dining tables, even fruit ice cubes floating in sparkling wine! The swan detailing was a perfect fit for their classic style, as well as symbolizing everlasting love. Summer even uses the swan as the signet for the Ladies’ Society of Matrimonial Finery on her blog!

Frequent NVLinens collaborator LVL Weddings & Events worked with Summer to plan each detail of the day – custom made boutonnieres with Bryan’s family crest, a ‘celebration station’ with noisemakers for guests to sound after the ceremony, even tiny bell escort cards for guests to ring when the bride and groom were announced! The wedding day wouldn’t have been complete without fabulous styling by the bride, of course! Bridesmaids picked their own blush gowns, but we have no doubt that professional stylist Summer had a hand in their wedding day looks. Her new husband looked dapper in a Hugo Boss tuxedo, while the bride herself was radiant in a custom Kirstie Kelly gown. Even her shoes were a perfect nod to their wedding day look, with chic green and white striped Badgley Mischka heels!
