Eggplant. 2010's most sought after color.

Why? Because it's rich color wraps you in regal bliss and sends you dreaming of your happily ever after.

This season, many shades and hues of purple have been dancing in our bride's heads. Everyday we get at least one phone inquiry as to what stock we have available in eggplant. With our newest arrival- Eggplant Sparkle- to our premium collection, we have had even more interest in this color palate for weddings. Even though it is only a month old, the Eggplant Sparkle has been the center of attention at more than 5 weddings thus far. This regal color stands strong on it's own, but paired with others it brings a more romantic feel.  

Eggplant and other shades of purple are best paired with white, silver, soft pink, grey, and butter yellow for the summer months; this allows you to play lighter, softer with your color palette and really play up that Victorian  romance. For the Winter and Fall, purple's favorite pairs are chocolate, silver, and jet black. These colors play to purple's rich side, bring warmth and comfort to your special day.

Due to it's immense popularity, I though I would take the time and put together a little photo shoot of all the purple linens and decor items we have in stock. This way, you can feast on this decadent array of eggplant, lilac and plum linens, perfect for any occasion!

Sunshine at Last!

Coming off a busy, beautiful July long weekend, back to the hustle and bustle of packing orders, installations and client appointments. With this amazing turn in weather, comes the full onset of Summer wedding Season. This month Chair Decor is at a few of the city's best summer venues: the Stanley Park Pavilion, The Granville Island Hotel/Dockside Restaurant and the Royal Vancouver Yacht Club at Jericho Beach. Views of the water, lush grounds and great vistas are just a few of the benefits of having your wedding in these unique spots. Chair Decor is seeing a return to neutrals this month. Lots of whites-crisp for hot summer days, and ivory says classic romanticism. From our brides, to our corporate clients, white and ivory dominate every one's overall theme. However, to enhance these classic colors, our brides and clients are throwing in splashes and punches of color; from eggplant, to ocean blue, to crimson and hot pink! Our unique selection of specialty linens makes it easy to find that perfect shade to match your day.

This month in the showroom, our sample table is inspired by the subtle colors of sesame, devonshire cream and chocolate. The center of this scheme, is the delicate Honey Blossom linen. Embroidered flowers and vines adorn this cloth in various shades of ivory, chocolate and honey. We have paired ivory satin chair Hugs with big bows of chocolate taffeta, and chocolate beaded napkin rings hold ivory satin napkins. Our high-top cocktail round is outfitted in our fabulous sesame linen, complete with the oyster overlay.

 

Now all we need is a tea party and mini sandwiches! Simple, rich and romantic!
