Summer 2020 in Review

by Nüage Designs. Posted on October 21, 2020

21 Oct

Although it felt like the Summer that Never Was, we saw creative minds across the country designing vibrant event concepts to brighten even the gloomiest of seasons. We’re taking a look back at some of the cheery tablescapes that brought a smile to our face this summer!

A Bright Brunch

House of Catherine proved that summer is for brunch with this fresh & inviting tablescape. Her design plan incorporated rich aqua and teal tones that contrasted against bright citrus notes, accented perfectly by our Floral Monet Napkins.

Sunshine & Citrus

Brunch was also on the brain down in Miami, where Halo Event Design imagined the most cheerful dining experience we’ve ever seen! Like rays of the sun, our Golden Brisa linen was the perfect pairing against the tropical walls of Miami’s Design District.

Summer Squeeze

Meanwhile in Atlanta, LesLo Events decided that when life gives you lemons you make a fabulous party out of it! This all-star team curated a warm palette of orange, saffron, yellow, peach, pink, and fuchsia to chase the Covid blues away.

Dreaming of Capri

And what would summer be without a tablescape inspired by the sparkling coast in Capri? Our jaws dropped at the sight of Amanda Reed Weddings’ masterfully orchestrated combination of blue, white, and gold bursting with the best & brightest flowers that summer has to offer.

We’d dine (at a distance) here anytime! Featuring our Sky Lisbon linen, Royal Papel Chino runner, and Navy Shelby napkins.

by Nüage Designs. Posted on April 10, 2019

10 Apr

With bold shimmery patterns adding to abstract lines woven into subtle metallic textures, our new Soirée Collection lends a sleek and warm atmosphere to any elegant affair. The sumptuous linens are complemented by our new selection of chroma chargers pairing our luxurious new fabrics with opulent chargers will bring unparalleled splendor to any special occasion. We invite you to explore the sophistication of our new Soirée Collection below:

We worked with The J Group Events on this lavish look full of rich metallic hues. Our Lagoon Gramercy linen provides the perfect backdrop for tasteful chargers from Tavola Tabletop and a playful collection of white phalaenopsis orchids down the center of the table. The architectural lines of our Gold & Turquoise Tribeca chairs from our sister brand Nuvole Collection tie seamlessly into the contemporary design. Next, our friends at Petal Productions used our Foam Hendrix as the canvas for their sophisticated table with a pavé of white hydrangeas. Our new Gold Nexus Charger served as the perfect accessory to pair with a soft Sky Velluto napkin.

Seam Foam and Lagoon

1. Lagoon Gramercy – Turquoise Velluto Napkin – Gold/turquoise Tribeca Chair
2. Foam Hendrix – Sky Velluto Napkin – Gold Nexus Charger
3. Lagoon Koi

Our naturally-inspired Glow marble and Natural Dexter linens are ideal for creating a warm, sophisticated environment. The masterminds behind Petal Productions layered a cluster of white hydrangeas over the woven pattern of the Natural Dexter linen for a summery feel. With our new Harmony Charger and the soft texture of our Sand Terra napkin, this look is absolutely fresh. Transitioning to a more cutting edge mood, our Platinum Monacosets a shimmering stage for this mirrored container of vibrant blooms from the J Group Events. Our Silver Rain Napkin and Harmony Charger complete the sleek look.

Cream Taupes to warm grays and charcoal

1. Glow Marble Linen
2. Natural Dexter Linen – Sand Terra Napkin – Silver Harmony Charger
3. Platinum Monaco – Silver Rain Napkin – Silver Harmony Charger
4. Pewter Koi

This soft yet rich vignette from Plan Design Events was curated with one element in mind: modern romance. We love how their lush centerpiece pulls all the different hues of blush from our Rose Hendrix linen, and our Rose Terra napkin makes this setting sweetly complete! Our Gold Moxie Charger paired with Tavola Tabletop’s artistic china and flatware are the finishing touches this tablescape needs to be called perfection.

Blush and Wine

1. Rose Hendrix Linen – Gold Moxie Charger – Plum Terra Napkin
2. Copper Leather Dot
3. Blush Koi
4. Wine Adare

The timeless combination of navy and gold is always a showstopper. Our Indigo Austin adds energy & interest below a clean cascade of crisp white orchids from the J Group. Add our Gold Nexus Chargers and Sienna Velluto napkins, and voila! Plan Design Events opted for deep hues of red and soft pastels to accent our shimmery Midnight Monaco linen. Our Rose Velluto napkin nested between this whimsical china from Tavola Tabletop ties the look together. Finally, fuchsia orchids from the J Group Events are just the pop of color we need to bring this tablescape to life with our Gold Austin linen, Gold Nexus Charger and Vel Royal Lamour Satin Napkins.

Navy and Gold

1. Indigo Austin Linen – Gold Nexus Charger – Sienna Velluto Napkin
2. Midnight Monaco Linen – Blush Velluto Napkin
3. Gold Austin linen – Gold Nexus Charger – Vel Royal Lamour Napkin
4. Honey Koi Linen

This elegant color combination is a staple for galas and other red carpet affairs. Our Black Gramercy linen is strikingly modern when paired with pavés of red roses by the J Group Events, and who can resist the sleek lines of our Gold & Black Tribeca Chairs from our sister company, Nuvole Collection. The subtle lines of our Black Kennedy linen meet their match with our Gold Nexus Charger and Black Metallic Burlap Napkin in this dramatic tablescape. Animal print gets a glam twist with our Black Gianni, inspired by the incomparable Versace. The J Group Events created pops of bright colored centerpieces to contrast with this striking sequined linen. White and Gold Chargers from Tavola Tabletop complete this sumptuous design.

Art Deco patterns, lace, sequins and velvet embroidery are just some of the exquisite elements that inspired this stunning new collection. Scroll through to explore all the beauty and romance our friends from Anthology and Plan Design Events created with our new designs together with Pialisa Tabletop Rentals below.

The Ivory Camille comes with a hint of Art Deco in beautiful metallic embroidery combined with ivory sequins. our Dove Terra Napkin extended the delicate look of the table with its soft texture. Anthology created beautiful blooms in shades of blush and coral to give the right amount of contrast together with black deco patterned votives and candle holders. Our sister brand Nuvole Collection brought in the black Phoenix chairs to complete the look. The tabletop from Pialisa had the perfect combination of black, gold and marbled pieces that brought the design concept together.

The White and Gold Gabrielle was laid over our latte tuscany which gave just the right amount of texture to contrast with this graceful embroidery. Anthology designed a garden inspired arrangement that paired perfectly with the Olive Terra napkins. It was just the right amount of color to give it an earthy feel. Pialisa’s tabletop added an elegant touch to complete the look of this refined spring wedding inspiration.

The Blush Peacock is a soft lace that just makes us swoon. What a perfect pairing with blush tabletop from Pialisa and gorgeous white peonies from Anthology.

The Navy Jasmine Lace, shown here on our Shell Tuscany is a rich velvet embroidery with a subtle sequin contour that adds just the little bit of sparkle to the table. Plan Design Events created a summer inspired centerpiece in bold colors to contrast with the navy colored overlay.

The White Claire shown here on on sultry beige faux dupioni, has us dreaming of a celebration in a French Chateau…or could it be under a beautiful tent in Charleston? either way it would look divine!

Blush Primrose: Three dimensional embroidered petals and vines create the delicate feel of this overlay. Our Blush Terra Napkin adds to the softness of the look combined with Anthology’s beautiful centerpiece of different shades of coral.

White Isabella: a modern take on tradition the Isabella Lace shines here combined with palm motif tabletop from Pialisa. Anthology created fresh white and green centerpieces including ferns and succulents that added to the tropical flair of this tablescape.

Lennox: This Art Deco gem comes in nude, silver and gold and its striking pattern will be perfect focal point for any event that calls for that Gatsby glamour.

Fall Weddings in Upstate New York with Alpacas

by Nüage Designs. Posted on September 26, 2018

26 Sep

Nothing says fall like the great outdoors in upstate New York. So let’s head to Faraway Farm in the Hudson River Valley to enjoy the season! Scroll through to see this styled shoot, perfect for the season…

Together Events took us to Westchester County to the gorgeous Faraway Farm, just a quick trip north of New York City. Once we were there, we couldn’t begin to imagine a better place for a fall wedding. All around us was green grass, blue skies, and…alpacas! What a fun treat to spend the day with these friendly animals!

After an afternoon of playing with our new friends, we set the table for dinner. The table was set against a wood and white-washed barn on site. Our Indigo Velluto linen was paired with our Ultra Pumpkin Faux Dupioni napkins, setting the stage with a deep color palette. Add in a set of rustic wood chairs and it’s just the place for an al fresco dinner.

IndyFASO paired their beautiful blooms against our velvet-inspired backdrop for a stunning effect! Flowers in shades of peach and blush were accented with deep purples and golden accents. We love the assortment of candles, thin tapers, short votives and glass containers that sparkled throughout the night.

From the alpacas to the views, we are head over heels for Faraway Farms! Would you head to upstate New York for your fall wedding?

From the heart of Florida we stumbled across this stunner of a styled shoot. Green Pearl Photography conceptualized this with inspiration from Hamilton amidst a lovely palette of blues. Scroll through to see more…

Working with a blue palette and inspired by tradition a la Hamilton, Green Pearl Photography put together this lovely design, perfect to inspire a fall wedding. Our Sky Velluto runner was set against a wood table from RW Style, setting the perfect place for dinner. Running the length of the table alongside our velvet-inspired runner were lovely arrangements from Flowers by Lesley.

To really give the design that traditional look, chairs from RW Style were brought in a set of wood-based styles. Paired alongside the French-country inspired style seating, Green Pearl Photography brought in two scrolls to use as chair backs – such a creative piece of decor!

And the venue couldn’t have been more perfect! Luxmore Grande Estates in Winter Springs, Florida it’s a gorgeous venue. We’re in love with all the details – from sky-high windows to sparkling chandeliers.

Would you head to Central Florida for this stunner of a venue? We’re certainly there!

Fall Weddings in Blue and Velvet

by Nüage Designs. Posted on September 12, 2018

12 Sep

With the fall upon us, we’re starting to feel that crisp in the air and getting ready to settle into the cooler temps. And as we shift into the new season, with it comes a change in color palette. To get us into the fall feelings, we’re looking at shades of blue. Lucky for us, Bright & Co. Events have just the thing to get us in the mood. Scroll through to see more of this seasonal setting…

We’re head over heels for how this tablescape together! Many hues of blue combined across the table coming together perfectly for a this fall wedding friendly design. Bright & Co. Events set the table with our Slate Plaster linen and paired it with our Indigo Velluto runner, a combination bringing together not just an ombre of blue but also an array of textures. Doesn’t velvet feel just perfect for the season?

Adding to the beauty of the table, Bright & Co. Events arranged lovely blooms in neutral tones, white and peach, to brighten up the setting. The design of these together was whimsical and entertaining giving a touch of fun to the day. Add to that blue tapered candles in an assortment of heights and we’re thinking this is just a dream for the season!

The whole look comes together in the most romantic way with an invitation suite from Sablewood Paper Company. Wax sealed menus and delicately tied name cards sitting atop cutting boards added a soft touch to this delicate design.

What’s your go-to look for the fall? We’re always loving jewel tones and Marsala, but what else gets you going?

Simply Perfect Wedding Inspiration Photoshoot in Shades of Neutral

by Nüage Designs. Posted on September 5, 2018

05 Sep

We’re watching fall start to roll in and with it comes the perfect time to shift color palettes for fall weddings. And while we tend to jump to jewel tones and autumnal colorways for the season, there’s something to be said about finding neutrals that fit the mood. Lucky for us, Claire Duran Weddings and Events has just the design to fit the changing seasons! Scroll through to see it all…

With this design, for the DIVERSIFY Workshop, it was about playing with texture and giving a simply perfect natural palette a really rich look and feel. Claire Duran Weddings and Events set the table with our Oatmeal Velluto, a velvet-inspired fabric that is just the thing for a shift into cooler seasons. We love how this minimal look had a classic flair, with accents from our Snow Elizabeth Lace napkin and lovely pink chargers from White Glove Rentals.

Add to that these French country chairs, from White Glove Rentals, and the most delicate flowers, from Casa Delirio, and this comes together for a truly lovely look! Oh and did we mention the venue? Because Great March, with its front porch with columns and surrounded by a beautiful lawn could not have set a better scene!

This design, captured so perfectly by Hannah Bjorndal, has us ready to slow down for fall. Of course if you’re still looking for those fall shades this season, our Velluto collection comes in Sienna, a burnt orange hue, and Wine, a burgundy shade, both of which will fit the fall just right!

White Lace And Linen Inspiration For an Outdoor Wedding

by Nüage Designs. Posted on August 29, 2018

29 Aug

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!

Tabletop Inspiration for your Weddings and Events with Pialisa Rentals

by Nüage Designs. Posted on August 15, 2018

15 Aug

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

by Nüage Designs. Posted on August 8, 2018

08 Aug

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!

An Outdoor Summer Wedding Styled Photo Shoot in Annapolis

by Nüage Designs. Posted on June 27, 2018

27 Jun

Officially, we’re told, the first day of summer was June 21st and boy are we as ready as ever to get in the swing of the season! To us nothing says summer like dining al fresco – you know we love it! So when Heather Benge Events sent us images from the Annapolis Styled Shoots Across America stop, we were ecstatic! Scroll through to see why…

Usually when we think of al fresco dining it’s on a terrace or at a patio, rarely are we lucky enough to be set up at a place like Whitehall, a waterfront wedding venue in Annapolis, MD. Everywhere we looked we were happily surrounded by vibrant greenery and beautiful architecture. The setting was so nice that Brittany Branson captured it in a beautiful live watercolor painting!

We’re in love with the range of colors on this one! From the cake, from Angyono Cakes, to the invitation suite, from By Brittany Branson, everything was decked out in brightly colored hues. The color palette was really set by the incredible arrangement of flowers, from Intrigue Designs. The florals ranged from a deep burgundy to a blush pink with an array of oranges and yellows in between. And the ribbons tied off of the arrangement? A perfect touch for this breezy outdoor design!

Heather Benge Events made sure not one single color of the rainbow was forgotten! She brought in beautiful blues with our Sky Velluto linen, which set the base for this design. Paired with ornate flatware and blue-tinged glassware, from White Glove Rentals, it came together like a dream!

What do you think, would you go brightly colored for your wedding? You know we certainly love it, let us know what you think!
