Going Bright and Bold at the Sketchbook Series Sacramento!

October 14, 2015

Every time Mary Phan contacts us to be a part of the Sketchbook Series, we can’t wait to see what concept she will come up with! At the Sacramento event, bold fall florals were the way to go, and we loved seeing them accented with our gorgeous Brighton Cayenne linens! The clean, industrial style of Studio 817 Events was such a perfect fit for the bright and bohemian pattern, with a dramatic paisley print in vivid colors. The linens made an incredible statement against the white brick walls, especially when paired with hanging floral garlands by Bloomers Floral Design!

Attendees learned to bring their vision for client’s weddings to life, drawing detailed vignettes that help couples planning their big day envision colors, textures, and materials. Having our linens included in such an amazing resource for our creative community is always a delight!

Pastels and Prints for our Spring Showroom Decor!

March 4, 2015

Is there anything better than getting an excuse to redecorate? Our Emeryville showroom got a makeover for spring, with pastels and prints that are perfect for the season! Showroom partner Bright Event Rentals provided us with some amazing tabletop details and furniture to style with some of our patterned linens on display.

The softer pastel hues that we chose to display are perfect for spring, but that doesn’t mean that we had to go traditional for our showroom! Our Anthropologie-esque Brighton P eriwinkle unites a swirling, paisley-inspired print with a soft palette of pale blue, violet, and chartreuse. To create a modern, relaxed look that’s perfect for an al fresco wine country dinner, we paired the pattern with tone on tone ivory china from Bright Event Rentals and our new Hemstitch Natural Napkins. Rustic wine barrel hurricane lanterns filled in for a centerpiece, while blue glasses and frosted purple votives added colored accents that tied in with the hues in the print.

Double table runners have become one of our favorite new trends, and this modern industrial table is a perfect example. The shifting blues and yellow stripes of our Nantucket Bay runners added a bold accent to the clean lines of the table decor – modern, square place settings, hurricane lanterns, and small potted herbs for a hint of green. The weathered wood table and metal stools added a great, industrial edge to the look!

Our last table is also the most traditional – the medallion design of our Kate Wedgwood linen is a large-scale but elegant print, so clean and simple eggshell place settings were the perfect pairing. In keeping with the upscale al fresco theme of the showroom, rustic wood lanterns and moss balls added an outdoorsy touch.

Boho Chic and Other Linen Stories

November 18, 2014

Someone once told me that most blogs have an audience of two: the blogger and the blogger’s mother. In the interest of keeping you interested, I’m going to feature a lot of pretty photos from real weddings and events, as well as fabrics that continually inspire me. I will share the colors and patterns that are trending and how I know that to be true. I will explain where trends come from. I will share what I look for in a fabric before committing to it and explain the critical element I always look for in a fabric, “the story”. If the fabric doesn’t have one, then it doesn’t make the cut!

So let’s kick this off with a new fabric that we love at NV Linens. This fabric has a great story. As soon as I saw it, I knew it would have tons of appeal. It has a defined style and yet, the style changes dramatically according to the color. It’s called Brighton.

Here it is in Cayenne:

Brighton Cayenne

The story – Boho Chic. It’s been forty-five years since Woodstock and the age of Aquarius and everything late 60’s and early seventies is having a renaissance. This linen is for the flower child, the barefoot bride with flowers in her hair. Outdoors, yes! Farm to table, yes! Biodynamic, organic, vegan, yes! Recycled, slightly worn, yes! This linen has it all. Anything from this era will be popular for 2015, except for tie-dyes. I don’t miss them, do you? There’s a new printing process that creates a distressed look on fabric. I’m crazy about it. Some describe it as faded or antiqued, but the soft, blurry lines of the pattern keep it relaxed and soothing.

Brighton Periwinkle

That can’t possibly be the same pattern, you think; but it is, only in shades of blue, periwinkle, purple and green. The ivory background is in crisp contrast to the pattern and it makes everything feel fresh and dreamy. It has the watercolor quality of a Monet painting. I’m feeling South of France or Italy, or an al fresco luncheon in a grove of olive trees or under a pergola of wisteria. Bunches of lavender are tied with satin ribbons that rest in big wicker baskets. The table is set with blue and white hydrangea, or bushels of lilacs and trailing white clematis.
