The Linen Challenge

The past 3 days I have gone to our venue on my lunch break (I don’t have lunch breaks, my made up lunch break) to sort through linens. 

Do you know what a pounding headache choosing linens is?  Not to mention, the venue has about 500 linen colors/fabrics to choose from! NEWS FLASH: I am a bride, the last thing I wanna do is sort through 20 different platinums, 20 different eggplants, and 20 different coppers in 20 different fabrics.  Here is my invite, here is my color palette, now pull exactly what you think will work and have it ready when I get there GOT IT?

Aaaahhh that release felt wonderful…

We started with these last week - - Once my wedding planner saw this pic she didn’t have much to say – I knew they were gonna change, which is fine,  the only thing I didn't wanna lose was that crushed gunmetal, thankfully I don't have to!

Enter my two choices...



I know, they look very similar - - And they are, your eyes are not deceiving you - - The only differences are the copper color swatches.  I like the lighter copper color in the picture in the left, it is the exact same color as the wood pillars, well, that’s not gonna work b/c that copper is for all cocktail tables which are near or against the wooden pillars SO the winning linens are in the right picture, YAY   The crushed gunmetal is for the dinner tables which will have dark copper napkins.  The dark copper will be all cocktail tables which will have our eggplant monogrammed napkins (yes, I did buy monogrammed napkins remember? I got them on sale!)  

I was beyond farklempted by the time we were done; I treated myself to lunch...
 

What – you’ve never treated yourself to Mickey D’s, pa-lease folks, who are you kidding... And no, I did not get my favorite cheeseburger, small fry, and diet soda I have more self discipline than that…


I had the Sante Fe Grilled Chicken Salad and damn was it good!

Okie dokie, thats it for today - - sorry for all the links (blue words, click on them they take you somewhere..)  Have a great evening everyone, xoxo
