Linens... and things

Yesterday, i left work a little early b/c we had a 5pm appointment with Loren (who works for a party rental company) in DC. The weather was gorgeous which meant that everyone wanted to be outside to enjoy it... people out in dc = sucky traffic. We got lucky though and found a parking spot right in front of the building! We entered their "office" and were greeted with lots of colors!! Our main goal was to find linens, chiavari chairs (or seat covers to cover the hotel banquet chairs) and china.

First, we showed her our color scheme and she suggested some fabrics for the overlays (if we chose to have them). Then, we picked out charger plates, chinaware, flatware and stemware. She created a display table and laid out all the different looks from the items we chose. There were so many options that it became a little overwhelming! Don't get me wrong, it was still fun getting to play =) Here are some of the looks that we came up with:



No charger, white napkin only; scallop platinum ring charger and colored napkin; glass charger w/silver beads, white dinner plate and colored napkin

We're not sure which look we're going to go with... it also depends on the hotel and which items they already provide. Here are more pics of the future hubby talking to Loren:
