Current Wedding Linen Trends

Michele Arrowsmith- Rowe

How to make your wedding design stand out? Add texture and color! One way to demonstrate this is through wedding linen! From Dupioni, rosette, Pucci, and embroidered sheer - - here are the latest trends to help you achieve an "out of the box" wedding!

First, we need to discuss color! At pantone's website, they have swatches of the current color trend. This season's popular colors are: Honeysuckle, Coral Rose, Peapod, Beeswax, Silver Peony, Russet, Regatta, Blue Curacao, Lavender, and Silver Cloud. In the fall and winter seasons, we will see: Bamboo, Emberglow, Honeysuckle, Phlox, Cedar, Deep Teal, Coffee, Nougat, Orchid, Hush, and Quarry. To view these colors go to www.pantone.com. If you don't want these exact colors, find hues of these color trends to work with your own color scheme! Also, have fun with color combinations! This would sure make your wedding more memorable!

Were you looking for an elegant linen choice without breaking the bank? Dupioni is your linen choice! Dupioni is a polyester blend with the appearance of raw silk. If you are trying to recreate the "royal" wedding - - this light and sheen fabric would be good enough for a royal couple!

Are you having a garden themed wedding? The rosette linen would make your table design come to life! This fabric is a third dimensional design of clustered roses. This fabric comes in array of color choices that will go with any trendy wedding color scheme.

The "Pucci Linen" is a popular design created by a Italian fashion designer, Emilio Pucci. He became known for his vivid printed silk dresses, blouses, and tight pants. This linen choice would work with a modern wedding theme!

And last, but not least, sheer embroidered linen! It is not a shock that this linen selection is on the list! This linen choice would work perfectly with many popular 2011 wedding themes, especially a vintage theme.

To find these popular linen choices, in many popular color choices, go to your local party rental company. If you want a great company that supplies all four linen choices (and many more) in many color choices, go to www.clothconnection.com. This company will rent their specialty linen nationwide!

If you want your wedding reception to stand out, add texture and color! If you pick one of these four specialty linen choices - - your table design will sure accomplish this! Now that one decision is solved - - all you have to do is continue adding these elements in all aspects of your wedding design! And the result is - - an out of the box wedding!
