The Perfect Touch for your Wedding Reception

Linens are probably the most important design feature of your wedding. It is an opportunity for you, the couple to showcase your personality, style and theme of your wedding.

There are many options to consider for your tabletop to bring your personalized panache into the decor. One of the most important is layering.

While most venues will provide a basic tablecloth,those linens will most likely not reach to floor. Getting a full size tablecloth is very important as it creates the backdrop for your tablesetting, china and flowers. The first step is to call the venue that you have chosen and ask them what size tables they offer and how many chairs will fit in each table.The second step is to idenitfy what type of chair you will need to cover so that you can select a fabulous cover that compliments your tablecloth. Don't forget to bring this information with you to your linen appointment.

There are so many wonderful vendors in Houston for linens and many of them offer one stop shopping for your tabletop such as chargers, napkins, napkin rings and votives.  One of our favorite vendors that has the widest selection of colors is : The Perfect Touch Linens, located at 2506 South Boulevard, Houston TX 77098. Make sure you check out their website for their specials and pictures of their new arrivals: http://theperfecttouchlinens.com/index.php or call today to make your appointment: 713.523.4567 and get your complimentary consultation today.

Happy Planning !

Discover Your Floral Style

There are so many options when choosing your flowers for your wedding. It can be confusing and overwhelming when you are not sure where to start. One of the first things we suggest to our Brides is to start tearing out all the pictures that appeal to them from current and past Knot editions. You will notice that there is a theme in what you like. Even if your selections are all over the place in regards to colors and flower types, you will soon see that you will have a trend in your selections.


Take as many of these tear outs to your florist with your swatches of bridesmaids dresses, linens, and any other colors that you can. Your floral designer will help you discover your floral style.

For inspiration, make sure you visit The Knot Complete Flower Guide: http://wedding.theknot.com/wedding-planning/wedding-flowers.aspx?MsdVisit=1

Good Bye Up- Do. Hello Chignon.

Summer is here and it often beckons us to put our hair up. There are many beautiful options for wearing hair up elegantly. While up do's have been the popular style to ask for in the past, today, a tousled Chignon adds chicness with more movement forgiveness than an up-do. The popular term Chignon, pronounced “sheen-yon,” is actually derived from the French phrase “chignon du cou,” which translates to “nape of the neck”. An artful pull back of the hair, touseled or styled can reflect your beautiful facial features and serve as a great base for a gorgeous pin, feathers, or any floral accent you place in the hair.

Many salons specialize in up-do's but ask your hairdresser for a touseled chignon and see how you feel wearing a modern twist on the up-do.
