White Lace And Linen Inspiration For an Outdoor Wedding

Labor Day is looming right around the corner and with it the unofficial last day of Summer. Keeping in line with dress code rules of the season, we thought it a great time to revisit the timeless all-white wedding palette with some inspiration from CM Events and Design. While we will certainly keep rockin’ the fresh white design ideas way past Labor Day, we’re loving this one now. Scroll through to explore…

The all-white-palette is a classic. It sets the scene for the details to really shine. CM Events and Design used our White Vine Tulle overlay as the base of their table paired with our White Hemstitch napkins. With the table set and styled, with assistant styling from A Beyoutiful Fete Events, all the details could come into play. Especially the gorgeous flowers, from Amy Lauren Floral Design, that brought in a touch of color. The shades of coral, light pink, and ivory gave this tablescape the perfect feel for an outdoor reception in the summer or spring!


And those tabletop rentals! Pieces from Select Event Group kept that classic feel going all across the design. Glittering gold flatware paired perfectly with gold and white dinnerware sitting atop a clear charger with a gilded rim that played so nicely with the glassware. All the details so meticulously considered!

When we say all the details, we mean even down to the menus. Did you notice the wax seal detail on those? Emily Baird Design didn’t skip a beat when it come to this suite. Calligraphy, script, and serif text came together beautifully for a modern design with traditional inspiration with bold black detailing. Swoon!

Inspired by The Knot Pro Workshop at the State Room in Boston

As event professionals, we love a chance to mingle with our industry friends. For us, there’s no better time to meet and learn than a workshop with The Knot Pro! So much so that we’ve partnered with them again and again as their exclusive linen sponsor for all of their #TheKnotWorkshop stops. Want to see what all the fun is about? Scroll through for a peek into the Boston workshop that just took place…

The day kicked off at the State Room, a Longwood Venue, in the heart of downtown Boston, Massachusetts. Riding up to the 33rd floor, we were graced with views of the harbor that were just unbelievable! We Tie The Knots had the morning kicking right off with registration and breakfast looking out over the city. We had our pop up space set up in the space for attendees to explore our Design Trunk, 2018 Style Guide, and assortment of swatches all at their fingertips.


Onto where the magic happens, the workshop! Working with a color palette of purples and silvers, designed by Meldeen uniquely for the Boston event, we had an ombre effect of our Velluto linens that culminated in the Lavender Willow linen. It created a beautiful and serene setting for listening to industry pros from Boston and abroad as they delivered actionable insights for us to dig into!


Speaking of digging into things, lunch was a blast! We were randomly seated at tables, set with our Silver Lapidus linen, Silver Metallic Faux Dupioni napkin and Evening Mauve Satin napkin, and given the chance to connect with event professionals from all around who were attending for the afternoon. What a treat!


And of course, we wouldn’t be event professionals without ending the day with some cocktails! We ended the day right where we started for breakfast, with views from the 33rd floor of the State Room. But this time we had bubbles, snacks and a photobooth on wheels. Cheers to that!


We’re getting amped up for the next #TheKnotWorkshop stops – will you be joining in for any? If you want another sneak peek into what a day at the workshop is like, check out the San Diego stop here!

Tabletop Inspiration for your Weddings and Events with Pialisa Rentals

When it comes to crafting the perfect tabletop, it’s all about how your pieces work together. From linens to flowers, and paper goods to tabletop rentals, everything plays an important part in the look. And when it comes to the latter, Pialisa Rentals has us covered! Their impeccable eye for design and gorgeous collection of tabletop rentals is just what we’ve been looking for. Scroll through to see three styles paired with pieces from our collection and get inspired…

We may be a little biased, as our Beverly linen is one of our favorites, but isn’t this look just amazing? It’s summer personified! Pialisa took this print from casual to chic with a white and gold palette using their Oro Dinnerware and White + Gold Flatware. And we love how the menu cards, from Paper Gals gave an extra nod to the tropics with that punch of bright green. Set this one up poolside and you’re good to go!


A black and white palette will always be classic and with our toile-inspired Black Jamestown linen, all the better. Pialisa paired this look with their Jet Dinnerware collection and Black + Gold flatware, keeping the color palette streamlined with just a hint of shimmer. We’re obsessed with the florals from Ever After Floral Design. The assortment of bright greens with pops of white gives the design a fresh look!


And for something of a softer look, Pialisa used a neutral palette with pink accents against an exposed wood table. To give the tablescape that pop of color, Ever After Floral Design added in soft coral hues to the arrangement. Pialisa tied everything together with our Floral Monet Napkin set again their Unicorn Pink Dinnerware and Romantic Pink Charger. A match made in event design heaven!

Each little detail combines to make a tabletop spectacular! From napkins to paper goods, it all matters. What’s your favorite design element?

A Magical Styled Shoot with Unicorns and Shades of Purple

The events industry is nothing if not magical. It’s full of surprises, bright colors, smiling faces and pure happiness. That’s what we live for! And as creatives in the events industry, there’s nothing like getting to play around and design something for the sheer fun of it. So when Jordan Payne, of Jordan Payne Events, pitched us shades of purple and unicorns, we said, “Go for it!” Scroll through to see her fantastical design…


The color palette is so rich on this design! Shades of purple are anchored with black accents and peppered with pops of pink. The flowers, from David Kimmel Design, give the design that “dark beauty” feel that Jordan Payne Events was looking for. The arrangement, although low on the tabletop, adds dimension with branches that extend toward the ceiling. A beautifully creative look for this design!

Our Lilac Velluto linen set the table with a lovely light purple hue, paired with a deeper shade of purple from our Purple Oxford napkins. We love the tabletop goods, from Posh Couture Rentals, that really tied everything together. Clear purple glassware, black china with a gold edge, and mirrored chargers gave the table a chic shimmer.


And for serious invitation inspiration, Ceci New York, dreamed up the star of the design, watercolor menu cards with mystical unicorns at the center. Paired with the rest of the invitation suite, which included paper flower details and laser cut accents, this really made the afternoon shine!

Mix and Match design elements for an Instagrammable tablescape

We love when things get a little…kooky, so when Ashton Events shared this styled photoshoot with us we were absolutely in love! From wooden accents to velvet textures and a lot of things in between, they mix-and-matched this table top to Instagram-enviable levels. Scroll through to read all about it…

First things first, let’s set the table. Our Indigo Batik linen was the base for this look, giving it a very bohemian vibe for Ashton Events to play off of. To our delight, they paired it with our Floral Monet Napkin, creating a contrast of prints that looked just divine together.


Wanting to elevate an otherwise casual feeling linen, Ashton Events added in touches of gold from the ceremony space to the tabletop. From gold flatware to gilded-edge chargers and towering floral arrangements, it added just the touch of metal to give it that chic finish.


And the florals, how we loved those! In beautiful soft, pastel shades they played right in with the decor. Ashton Events designed an assortment of arrangements giving the design extra dimensionality. Two tall arrangements sat at the ends of the table with a low flower runner in between, tying the light corals and blush pinks of the flowers together just right!

The other thing that we were absolutely obsessed with? The mix of wood and rattan seating used at the table. From two accent chairs at the heads of the table to an assortment of vintage wooden chairs and a simple bench draped with a plush fur throw, not one detail was overlooked!

Whether it’s a wedding ceremony or an intimate dinner party, we love this look! It’s the perfect combination of boho and chic with the stunning loft background of Haus 820 (and you know how much we love an industrial space!). What’s your take – do you mix and match when you design?
