It's Time To Celebrate COLOR with La Tavola's 2019 Linen Collection
From La Tavola...Countless academic studies have been done on the impact that colors have on your brain, and subsequently your mood. While the nitty-gritty may vary from researcher to researcher, the consensus is that COLOR IS IMPORTANT. The color of your workspace can impact productivity, the color of a candy wrapper might make you eat it quicker, and your shade of lipstick can give you just the confidence boost you needed to nail that job interview. Imagine what a bright burst of color can do to a party!
Ten years ago, as we were emerging from the recession, we saw a kind of aesthetic of austerity that, while we can thank for the birth of Millennial Pink, didn’t give us much excitement in the way of palette and design. Gray was welcomed with open arms into the pantheon of accepted neutrals. Budgets and bashes were a bit more subdued as minimalism dominated visual culture.
When it came time to design our 2019 collection, we wanted to not only celebrate color by shaking off the dust, but we wanted to shout it from the rooftops. The success of our 2017 richly hued, jewel-toned velvet line helped us realize that the wedding world was ready to have a little fun again. While classic neutrals (white, ivories, blush) will be a timeless nuptial palette, we urge today’s couples to let color sing loudly during their celebrations.
Paul Gauguin said "Color! What a deep and mysterious language, the language of dreams." And why not speak the language of dreams on the day of your dreams?

About the Shoot...With this collection and styled shoot, we really wanted to celebrate colors and how they relate to one another. Some of our favorite event designs over the years have used unexpected combinations of our La Tavola linens, ones we had never considered combining. We wanted to create the same experience that we had; “Wow – that works together!”
Our team loved using one space for all fifteen linens to show how different colors and patterns can play off one another to create even more visual interest. Each table was projecting its own distinct feel, meanwhile - however subliminally - it was also visually influenced by the other tables in its vicinity.
From bright and bold to more subdued and romantic, there is a colorful print for every kind of event and couple. Our collection came together like a rainbow of personalities. We have a block print inspired Tucker that contrasts pattern-layered Dylan, mod color-blocked Luca and art deco Alhambra style tiles with Freya that give a nod to that Art History textbook, and romantic relief Mackenna brings in some floral femininity.

Tips from La Tavola...
· Bold colors and patterns can seem daunting, but with linens, these high-impact design elements become one of the easiest ways to elevate the look of your event. Linens are the canvas for the rest of your table design and a bright color or playful pattern can help bring that touch of whimsy, romance, mod or boho style to your table and the feel of your overall event.
· Given the importance of a color over the influence of event design, layering exciting hues with even more exciting prints can add a much needed dynamic to your wedding.
· If you’re hesitant to use bright or bold colors, try picking one color or introducing a touch of pattern by using patterned tablecloths during your cocktail hour or on the linens on the tertiary event tables such as cake table, gift table, and escort card table.
· For novice color or pattern users, we would suggest Mackenna Rose or Dylan Smoke. If you love pattern and color but want something slightly understated, try Freya Goldenrod or Saffron. Have your Ph.D. in colors that WOW? Luca or Tucker are you go-to linens from this collection.
· Most rental companies offer mock-up or samples. If you’re hesitant on how the colors will play with other design elements, take the time to do a practice run – you might just be surprised at how well colors go together.
· For just a hint of pattern play – start with a smaller square footage – many of our linens are available in runners and napkins as well.
