La Tavola Linen = High Quality + Low Prices

2012-01-28T11:46:00.000-08:00

Below is a guest blog post straight from one of our very own la tavola gals, so enjoy!

I’m writing this blog post today because I want to spread some much-appreciated (and often delightfully surprising) news. Since working with la tavola almost since its inception – over 3 years now – and constantly getting such incredible feedback from clients about the beauty and quality of our linens, I’ve realized that it’s easy to see beauty and take it at face value; but, it’s not always intuitive knowledge that just because the quality is high, it doesn’t mean the prices are too.

In fact, I had a bride come into the showroom this week and show me her notes comparing the prices of the kind of linen she wanted from 5 different rental companies. Our prices beat every one of them.

So, how is la tavola able to do this? Well, for starters, everything is done in-house – from the sewing to the washing to assembling of swatches. We actually have a 60,000 square foot warehouse that essentially functions as a magical little village creating fabulous linens ;) On top of that, the owners have a true passion for incredible fabric and they wanted to share the beauty with as many people as possible by making la tavola’s linens as affordable as they could.

So, when you see something in our collection that strikes your fancy, don’t let your imagination run wild. . . except, of course, when you’re designing your event J

Happy linen festvizing!

Love From La Tavola

It's been quite a busy off season here in the linen world and we just want to take a moment to say how much we appreciate our lovely clients and colleagues. We love the relationships that we've formed and look forward to a busy 2012 in the event industry!

There is nothing quite as classic as ivory. When choosing one of our many ivory options--whether ornately detailed with texture or a simple solid linen, you really can't go wrong with such a beautiful and simple shade. We are loving all of these tables featuring some of our ivory favorites.

2011-11-11T10:55:00.000-08:00

I came across this lovely photograph of a bride, sitting with her bridesmaids and just loved the color combination of royal, navy blue and deep red. I feel like many are afraid to pair red, white and blue (in fear that it could look too much like the 4th of July) but when it is done well, the color scheme can me absolutely stunning. Here are some La Tavola Linens that would work well with this color combo...

Technology & Linen Rental-Revisited

2011-11-04T15:10:00.000-07:00

Most of our clients are amazed at how we are able to keep track of so many linens--which is why I thought we should re-visit an old post from 2009 explaining how our RFID tags work...

A few days ago we received a call from a representative of an event venue. He said that he had found a bag of our linens but did not know which client or event it was from. Now, for most linen companies this would present a problem because a lot of effort would have to go into finding the order that corresponded with that bunch of linens.

La Tavola, on the other hand, uses an RFID system - or Radio Frequency Identification system - that allows us to track each item in our inventory with a tag and scanner. Once the used linens are returned to our warehouse, they are immediately scanned and tracked in our computer system. Thus, we know instantly which order they belong to!

Example of the internal structure of an RFID tag (courtesy Wikipedia)

La Tavola linen bags, received after an event and ready to be scanned!

Today we have a special treat for you...amazing images of one of my favorite linens captured in an unbelievably gorgeous setting. Our Deco-Robin's Egg linens offer a beautiful hue of pale blue with an art-deco inspired print that is subtle, yet profound.

The genius behind this tavola spread began when Utterly Engaged hosted a New Years Party Design Challenge, themed "Snap Crackle Popl!" which would feature this chic, beach-inspired table that brings together the lovely color palette of cool blue and peach. The jaw-dropping images speak for themselves....check it out.

Color is Nothing to be Afraid Of...

2011-09-01T14:20:00.000-07:00

Who says that all weddings have to have simple color palettes?! Picking out table decor is your chance to express yourself and bright colors are a great way of doing this. We love when our clients decide to go outside of the box and mix and match unexpected colors of all variations...so be bold...play with color!

Some of our favorite multi-colored linens are:

Tribal Thread-Sunset

Venice-Blue

Saltillo-Black

If you're looking for solids, we have: Dupionique Iridescence-Moss and Shimmer-Thyme

For something different, why not the Velvet-Hunter Green or Ribbon White with Apple Green Ribbon

Like Sparkle? Then the Diamond-Apple or New York-Chartreuse is perfect

Textured options include: Ritz-Pear and Bingo-Citrine

Print Party? Go with the Everard-Grass or Williamsburg-Celery

And we have many more green options to offer on our website as well
