Summer is the best time to go bold, and we are having a ball playing with geometric prints! Whether you incorporate a petite pattern with modern table runners, style standing cocktail tables with a graphic stripe, or create a showstopping Head Table with a bold print, you can’t go wrong!

The petite check of our Pippa Linens in soft blue have been a favorite for sweetheart or cake tables, but we’re excited to announce that this print is now available in quantities to style a full event! We love the slightly preppy feel to this chic linen – perfect for a backyard summer wedding or an al fresco winery affair! The small print makes it possible to go bold and colorful with flowers – we can’t wait to see what our brides will come up with!

Introducing the Summer 2015 Collection from Napa Valley Linens!Summer is nearly here and we are so excited to share some of the new linens that are joining our collection for the Summer 2015 wedding season! While we have introduced a number of gorgeous prints and bold colors already this year, our latest additions are keeping things nude and neutral! Check out the newest offerings in our ever-expanding collection of luxury linens, and find out why we’re all about the neutrals this season!

Introducing Kildare –

Our newest addition to our collection of organic textured linens is called Kildare! A more lightweight version of our classic Summer Sugar, Kildare blends natural textures with soft colors. The tone on tone look of Kildare Tweed and the creamy texture of Kildare Shell were chosen to add a touch of luxury to outdoor winery and ranch weddings, or to bring a touch of the countryside into a ballroom! Available in full length linens for guest tables, cocktail rounds, and Kings.Kildare Tweed | Introducing the Summer 2015 Collection from Napa Valley Linens!Kildare Tweed | Introducing the Summer 2015 Collection from Napa Valley Linens!Kildare Shell | Introducing the Summer 2015 Collection from Napa Valley Linens!Kildare Shell | Introducing the Summer 2015 Collection from Napa Valley Linens!

 

Introducing River –

A personal favorite with the NVLadies, River combines delicate chiffon layers with flowing strands of silver sequins. The effect is a romantic filmy overlay that adds a touch of romance to any setting. The pale, ethereal color and hint of sparkle is the perfect accent for a standout Sweetheart Table or Wedding Cake Display. Available in small rounds and table runners.

Introducing Flora –

Another delicate overlay, Flora is available in soft Blush and Matte Gold. The petite sequin patterns call to mind floral lace, creating a gorgeous effect over crisp white linens or rich wood tables. Another specialty table linen, Flora comes in small rounds and table runners to add a romantic accent to tables in the spotlight.

Loving these cream, blush, and gold shades? So are we! The runways were filled with elegant tone on tone neutrals for spring and we loved the versatility and elegance of the soft hues. Lighter colors and rich texture are a must when it comes to selecting linens for the long term – the shades are easy to work into any venue, and offer a wealth of choices when it comes to selecting flowers and table decor! We had a great time styling these new linens with some elegant blush and white flowers for a pop of color, along with place settings fromBright Event Rentals!

We have more new linens to share soon – Kildare, River, and Flora are all available for preorder for Summer 2015 weddings so send us your wish list today!

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 Periwinkle 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.

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!

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
