Keeping Classic and Cutting-edge Classy

This season, planners are combining classic design with cutting edge trends for results that are both stylish and sophisticated. Why not give it a try?

Radiant Orchid. No need to fear The Color of Year. While floral design is the easiest way to introduce Radiant Orchid, you can also incorporate the gorgeous hue into your event with napkins, pillows, and lighting. Dilute the intensity of this color by combining it with black, gray, or gold.

Sequined Chevron.  Use this stunner as a compliment to traditional linen. Consider table runners on rectangular tables, or shorter sequined squares at high-top tables.                                                                                                                  
 
Rustic. Polish up the rustic look by introducing a rustic chair accompanied by classic damask linen.

The Naked Table. Tables that do not require linen are all the rage.  Mix these with other tables that are linen covered, lending softness and texture to the room.
 
Prints and Patterns.  Coordinate patterns with complimentary solids.  And because prints can get lost on a table covered with plates and glasses, try utilizing them on buffet tables, entryways, and pillows on lounge furniture for maximum effect.

Rose Gold. The popular event color of the year, rose gold can also be used subtly, as in a floral arrangement.
