Baltimore, Maryland (PRWEB) December 31, 2011
Tabletop design can be the most transformative and affordable dcor element for weddings, parties, and business hospitality events. Trends in table cloths, napkins, overlays and toppers, runners, chair covers and sashes are inspired by color, fabric, and design on fashion runways, and influenced by pop culture, royal weddings, and even celebrity couture seen on the red carpet. Theres even an official Color of the Year announced a few weeks ago by Pantone, the worlds color authority, that impacts consumer choices in weddings and fashion, interior and graphic design, furnishings, and even cosmetics. The Color of the Year for 2012 is Pantones Tangerine Tango.
For the 20 years since Dulany Noble founded Gala Cloths linen rentals, she has stayed on-trend with what the entertaining and bridal seasons ahead will bring to the table, so to speak, in tabletop dcor for her clients, who encompass caterers, florists, hotels, country clubs, wedding and event planners and their customers. Noting, for example, that brides and event planners can customize the Color of the Year to express anyones personal signature style, Noble suggests selections from the Gala Cloths Gallerythat interpret Tangerine Tango in varying hues, fabrics and finishes, among them Bengaline Tangerine, Medici Sheer, Tiger Lily Satin, Cirque Orange Taffeta, Saffron Squares, Melusine, and Jaipur Taffeta. Noble adds that demand, however, is still strong for metallics particularly silvers -- and eggplant. Just adding a pop of color with napkins on a white tabletop or a chair sash adds impact and style but is budget friendly.
Designer and rental consultant Nancy Bauman, who covers Philadelphia, New Jersey and Delaware for Gala Cloths, notes that what brides see at bridal shows and on the red carpet heavily influences their decisions. In fact, according to Noble, "As soon as the awards shows air, requests start pouring in at Gala Cloths" The Golden Globe awards, the Oscars, and the prime bridal show season are all just around the corner.
Brides and event planners can stroll through Gala Cloths online gallery, visit Galas two showrooms in Maryland and Pennsylvania, request sample swatches, or arrange for a Gala Cloths regional designer and rental consultantto meet them at their party site. Galas Showrooms are in Reisterstown, Maryland near Owings Mills and in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania which is by appointment only.
