Ombré Weddings

Can't decide on a pantone?

Good news! Weddings no longer need to be "matchy-matchy". Ombré is not just a trend just for just your hair....it is now a trend implemented into the Wedding scene!

I love this idea especially since I am the Queen of Indecisiveness. 

Now all the colours on that pantone swatch can be implemented into your event!

Décor is the main aspect of your wedding? Ombré really catches the eye and stands out!

What are your thoughts on Ombré Weddings?

What other colours would be great?

Cheers,

Hello Spring!

Hey Everyone!

It has been a REALLY long time since our last blog post, but we are back!

I don't know about you, but I am obsessed with this season! I love how we can use this time to change. A time to update and time to get rid of all the things we never use.

In our case, however, we're bringing in some new product to represent this wonderful season. We now have Orange Satin and Green Satin table linens to add that extra pop to your event.

 

What do you think of the new addition?

Cheers!

Trend Alert: Patterns Galore!

Gone are the days of basing your whole wedding design around purple and gold or pink and brown. Incorporating patterns is a fun and innovative way you can brand your wedding or event while bringing the whole design scheme together!

We have already seen a large interest in patterns throughout 2012 and we predict that 2013 will be filled with patterned decor; especially in the wedding world! Whether making a noticeable statement in the table linen, runners and napkins or doing it on a smaller scale within the stationary and groomsmen bow-ties or pocket handkerchiefs, there is a huge opportunity to include patterns. The goal is to bring in something unique without being too matchy-matchy - remember: more often then not, less is more!


Anywhere from Chevron, to delicate floral, to polka-dots and stripes, there is really no limit to bringing in patterns to your wedding/event decor. We look forward to seeing where patterns will turn up in 2013!

Come stop by the shop and check out some of our patterned linen, napkins and chair covers! We are also looking into bringing in some new patterns for 2013 and we want to hear from you...What would you like to see added to our inventory?

Cheers!

Blushing Bride

Summer wedding madness is in full swing here at Chair Decor! I know it has been awhile since we have blogged...But I thought I would take a minute to share one of this Summer's hottest trends!! I am sure many of Vancouver's wedding planners and vendors have noticed that "Blush" is hot hot hot this year.

Storyboard of the Week: Winter Wonderland

It's that time of year again: Winter Wedding Season! Frosted branches, fur coats, baby's breath, candle light, snowy photographs, hot chocolate bars, pussy willows....And the list goes on. There is something magical about having a Winter Wedding - and besides that, there is a greater opportunity for availability when it comes to booking venues, photography, decor, catering etc.

There are many unique touches you can bring to your very own Winter Wedding Wonderland! It is definitely a breath of fresh air; as most Weddings are traditionally held in the Summer months.

How to Complete a Table Setting

Here is a question many bride's and event planners may forget to ask themselves..."Should I rent Linen Napkins for my event?"

The answer is YES! There is nothing worse then your guests walking into a beautiful room filled with linens, chair covers, centerpieces etc. and seeing paper napkins at the table. Linen napkins make a table setting look elegant and complete!

At Chair Decor, we have a large selection of napkins that come in several colors and textures to fit the style and theme of your wedding/event!

Here are some great images that show the huge difference napkins make at a table setting:

Storyboard of the Week: Rustic Chic

There are many different perceptions of the word "Rustic." When I think of rustic I think of: Simplicity, charm, rough textured surfaces, twine, wood paneling, the countryside and neutral colors - such as cream, beige and champagne. Adding "Chic" to the mix adds a touch of elegance and style to those simple Rustic design concepts. A Rustic wedding is perfect for a DIY bride on a low budget!

Be sure to check out more rustic inspiration photos and storyboards at: www.pinterest.com & www.stylemepretty.com . Or come by the shop to take a look at some of our simple and chic linens.

                                                           

Storyboard Thursdays: Modern Beauty

When someone describes an event as being modern, what does that actually mean?
To me it means: clean lines; fresh ideas; simple floral arrangements with succulents and herbs or no floral at all (like curly willow or cherry branches); minimal table clutter; organic/raw linens and runners; unique chairs like ghost chairs or from a Swedish school of design; whimsical cakes - cupcakes or donuts; short gowns; new color combos like grey and yellow; creating intimate spaces where your guests can escape with lounge furniture; and of course - personal touches, specific to the couple alone, this makes a wedding oh so special, memorable and modern. What a beauty!

Story Board Thursday: Old Hollywood Glam

Vintage lace, lots of candle light, romantic gowns, and art deco pieces add a touch of old Hollywood to any wedding. Movie stars and photo booths become icons for decades past! Relive the glamour of Hollywood in the 40's for your special day.

Visit Style Me Pretty's California Blog to relive the magic of Hollywood!

Story Board Thursdays: Royal Purple

Purple with Envy! Royal purple is still a very hot trend this wedding season. We are seeing it paired with apple green, silver, white and shades of lilac. The perfect color scheme for any season and any bride.

Check out Style Me Pretty for more inspiring ideas.

Story Board Thursdays: Pretty In Pink

Think English Tea Party, not Molly Ringwald in that 1980's flick, Pretty in Pink!

Send me an email so you can start planning your next PINK event! And don't forget to check out Style Me Pretty for more breath taking pink inspiration photos!

Story Board Thursdays: Champagne Dreams

Inspired by decades past, champagne evokes romance, luxury and refinement. Delicate and feminine, champagne is the perfect neutral, working seamlessly with gold, rose, crystal and sage!

Chair Decor is now carrying champagne rosette runners, which enhance our champagne satins and works perfectly with our Taupe Dream line.

Have a wonderful Easter weekend!

Story Board Thursdays

Starting today, and every Thursday here after, I will feature a story board. I want to showcase an event look that inspires me, or pushes the boundaries with new trends and imaginative details. There are so many gorgeous table scapes, weddings, events, decorative accessories and romantic details out there, the possibilities are endless!

Because we are a rental company, we don't always get the chance to see first hand the finished look of the room during events. We are usually the first ones to set-up, and the last ones to tear-down, so we never get to snap photos of the finished product. Sometimes we get lucky and our clients send us decor photos of the room from their photographer's photo shoot. So for this exercise, I am going to use images from my favorite Blog, Style Me Pretty, and infuse them with my photos and other inspiration. Style Me Pretty by far has the best spectrum of trendy details and classic looks, the perfect combo for story boards!

Today, Cobalt Blue is my inspiration. Thanks to Miss Kate Middleton and her fabulous engagement frock and sapphire ring, hues of blue are taking the wedding decor world by storm. With the Royal Wedding right around the corner (only 2 more weeks to go!) deep shades of blue are this spring's hottest color.



Don't forget to head over to www.stylemepretty.com to create your own Cobalt Blue inspired wedding board. Or pop into the shop to see our selection of Cobalt, Navy and Royal Blue linens.

Where Have all the Blog Posts Gone?

Good Question!

I have clearly been busy in the last few weeks to post what Chair Decor has been up to. Since so much as gone on between Christmas and today, I feel like a photo story will be the best way to show you what you have missed. I have however, been able to stay up to date with our Wedding Lunch Blog, which you can find at www.weddinglunch.com for all the pretty details from our February 27, 2011 event.

In a nutshell, this is what Chair Decor has been up to over the last 4 months:
