Table Setting: Casual to Formal

A table setting can say a lot about the quality of an event. It’s important to find different details to incorporate into your festivities that will wow guests. This can be easily achieved with a unique table setting at any event.

Linens

Linens are common at many events to give a solid color and finish to any table. It’s important to have basic linens even if they are just white, they are handy to protect tables and party rentals from damage during the event. Not only are they essential for functional purposes, but they also add an element of multi-textural design to tabletops at any event. Event planners can stack colored linens on textured linens to create the desired effect as a base for other toppers on the table setting. In comparison to plastic table covers, quality linens are sure to bring your casual event to an upscale environment.

 

Serving Dishes

Your table setting is only as good as your serving wear. If you are looking to create a formal atmosphere having decorative serving dishes will create the essence of excellence.  Detailed serving dishes that match the color or theme of your event will surely impress guests. Although there are a lot of plastic dupes for table wear that look great, if you’re looking to go formal, heavier materials like metal, glass, and ceramic will give your event an expensive feel even on a budget! Using these materials is also helpful in creating less waste with their reusable nature of the serving dishes. Grimes Events and Party Tents’, Antique Chargers are a great example of a luxurious design element.

 

Pop of color

Working with color on your table setting is sure to take a table setting to another level. Small splashes of color can add a personal touch while also catching the guest’s attention. Colors can range from bright to subtle when considering a formal layout for your event. Flowers, napkins, nameplates, and chargers are a few personal touches that can be paired with a signature color for your event.

Greenery is a foolproof addition to take your table settings go from casual to formal. A variety of plants can add a fresh and elegant look to any table setting no matter the event. Paired with neutral linens and gold and bronze serving dishes, you can create a beautiful earthy but formal table setting.

Grimes Event & Party Tents works to combine all these decorative elements to create the perfect event specialized for the client. With extra care and detail, you can take these elements and amplify them to go from casual and cute to a formal extravaganza.

What is Your Event Décor Style?

Every event is different and therefore every event calls for a unique style. From rustic to vintage, modern to glam, there is a décor style for everyone!

Vintage

Vintage décor is all about the intentional use of antiques to create a warm, nostalgic environment. Quiet and elegant, vintage style events can transport guests to a simpler time. Monochromatic color schemes, distressed furniture, and tufted chairs are often used in this style of decorating. Delicate flowers, LED string lights, and satin rosette linens will bring a timeless sense of vintage elegance to any event.

Glam

For those inclined toward luxury, a glam style event would suit your needs! This Hollywood-styled décor is all things fabulous with the use of delicate lace and glittering embellishments. Elegant flowers, pipe and drape, and beaded chandeliers make any event feel high-fashion!

Shabby Chic

Shabby Chic combines vintage and glam decorations with an artistic focus. Distressed furniture, mixed and matched accessories, and a few natural elements help to create a perfectly shabby chic environment for any event. To achieve this look, use neutral colors, marble or brass, and vintage accents.

Modern

The modern world is sleek and fashionable. If you want to throw an event with a minimalistic feel, then modern style is the one for you! Simple color schemes using elements such as metal, glass, and steel will help your event feel polished and sophisticated. Comfortable lounge furniture will give your guests a place to kick back while LED decorations bring a sense of energy to the event!

Rustic

Rustic events are for those who have an appreciation for simplicity and are drawn to nature. Events decorated with a rustic style are often held outdoors or inside country barns. Regardless of the location, any event can have a rustic style! Details in rustic décor can include the use of woods, metals, burlap, ribbons, and more. Barrels, crates, bistro lights, mason jars, and flowerpots filled with wildflowers can give any event a warm, rustic feel!

3 Linen Trends for 2020

The start of a new year brings new trends for the event industry, including table linen rentals and table décor rentals. From large weddings and corporate events, to household parties, we use the top trends in the event industry to ensure success for your special day.

Bold Colors & Patterns

2020 is the year of taking risks in your linen choices! People are becoming more comfortable with bolder color palettes and larger print patterns. Aim to excite guests by choosing bold hues of blue, green, pink, or gold for linens. If you’re interested in patterns, opt for floral or animal print and supplement by adding a centerpiece. You can also allow your tableware to accent these deep colors to give the décor a balanced, yet exciting, look.

Earth Tones

Timeless styles will never lose their value and appeal. For more sophisticated and upscale events, consider using earth tones and textures. A Satin Rossette linen in champagne is a stunning way to combine a neutral tone with an interesting texture. Take some inspiration from the Art Deco style, with neutral colors and accents of green. Since real plants and succulents are trending in the interior design industry, include them as details on your tabletops.

Pantone’s Color of the Year: Classic Blue

Across many design industries, the Pantone Color of the Year announcement is a must-see. Pantone has introduced Classic Blue as its color of the year, as it relaxes the mind and never loses its charm. It also provides many ways to accent with silver, gold, and crystal tableware. Both elegant and versatile, Classic Blue is the trendy choice for your linens in 2020.
