November Showroom

So my new favorite colors, may not be yours, but I can't help but put a little 'pop' into November. Using two of the Fall 2010 trend colors, I have created a little oasis in our showroom window.  

Lagoon, which is by far the most calming shade of turquoise, creates the feeling of jetting away, spending winter somewhere else, perhaps a Mexican destination wedding, and of course lots of margaritas. Lipstick Red, adds that quirky punch of color that makes the whole calming affect come alive. Red has always been a holiday accent color, however it is also the color of love, and of Fall, so don't be afraid to use hints of it around your event- no matter what season it is- to jazz things up a little.


 
Pictured here is our Lichen tablecloth, Red Satin napkins, Red Organza sashes and White Bella chair covers.



Now that I think of it, this color scheme could totally work for a chic holiday party, or even a candlelight Valentine's dinner. The versatility of this color pairing is endless!



To add just a hint more drama, think about reversing the color scheme and add hints of Lagoon to your party decor. Our Red Satin definitely adds drama, and the Tiffany Satin sash helps to tie in the theme.

2010 Fall Color Trends

As our calendars are slowly filling back up with appointments and consultations for next year, however we still have clients dropping in last minute to prepare orders for this year. So I thought I would take the time to find the season's hottest, newest color trends and pairings. This way, we can make sure these last minute designs are on top of the latest trends, a little fashion forward don't you think?

Pantone, the best place to stay up to date with all the latest colors developed, also gives you access to each season's colors straight from the world's runways. Fall 2010's color spectrum comes straight from the designers themselves, during New York Fashion Week, February 11-18 2010.

I will list the 10 colors and the word that best describes the feeling these colors project. The group as a whole has been described as vivid, innovative takes on fundamental basics. They instill feelings of travel and adventure.
