What to Look For When Renting Wedding Linens

Buying all the wedding linens you need for the big day can add a tremendous cost to your wedding budget. In addition, if you buy everything you need you will be left with many chair covers, sashes and tablecloths that you won’t need when the wedding reception is over. This is why most people choose to rent the linens they need for the occasion and save themselves work and expense.

There are numerous companies specializing in the rental of wedding decorations, wedding linens (http://www.magicalpartyrentals.com/rentals/weddinglinenrentals.html), and chair covers with an Internet presence and who ship orders all over the country. Dressing up the reception area with chair covers, tablecloths and napkins that match the color scheme of the wedding party adds a touch of elegance that you simply cannot achieve by using banquet roll to cover the tables and paper napkins. If you choose a rental company in the same city as the location of the reception, you can even pay a small extra fee to have this company take care of placing the linens on the tables and chairs.

As soon as you set the date for your wedding you should start looking for a wedding linen company. This is especially true if you will be getting married during the summer months. When it comes to chair cover rentals, San Diego, like all other locations in the country are very busy and you may have a very difficult time getting the linens you need if you leave searching for a company until the last minute. Rental companies prefer you to book at least six months in advance and by doing this you get the best choices of what they have available.

For each wedding linen rentals San Diego (or whichever city you reside in) company you contact, ask about the types of wedding linens they have available. It is best to keep your options open when you start your search and browse the photos of the various chair covers and tablecloths that the company deals with. Look at several companies to compare the selections and the pricing so that you can feel assured that you have the best deal in terms of linens and cost.

You should inquire about what other services the chair cover rental company provides if it is in your city. Many will actually come to the location and place the linens just right and then come back when the reception is over and collect the soiled linens. Others will ask you to pick up the linens on the day before the wedding and drop them off the day after.

You can browse the selections of wedding linens by material and color. In this way the tables and chairs are in full coordination with the theme and color scheme of your wedding. The ordering instructions on the site will tell you what information you need to have before you place your order. You do need to contact the venue where you will be having your reception to inquire about the shape and size of the chairs. You may not realize it but not all venues use the same style of chairs or tables and you need to have the right sizes so that the chair cover rentals (http://www.magicalpartyrentals.com/rentals/chaircoverrentals.html) will fit perfectly.

When you receive the wedding linens, they will be cleaned and ironed so that they will be impeccable. You do not have to clean the linens before you return them. Normal wear and tear in the type of stains on the chair cover rentals, tablecloths and napkins is perfectly acceptable. You will only be charged extra if one or more of the linens has a stain that cannot be removed or has been torn in some way.

A Duvet Cover Allows One to keep the Same Look in a Bedroom in Winter and in Summer

A Duvet Cover Allows One to keep the Same Look in a Bedroom in Winter and in Summer

What is a duvet cover?  To answer this question, one must first know what a duvet is.  A duvet is a French term for a down comforter, which is a bed cover insulated with good feather or eider, wool or other natural fills to create a warm bed covering as an alternative to bedspread or quilts.

In the United States, many people say “duvet” when referring to a duvet cover; whereas, in Europe and in Canada, most people refer to a down comforter as a duvet. Duvets are like comforters, except that they have duvet covers which are replaceable and washable, much like large pillowcases.

No matter what people call them, nothing matches the experience of sleeping under a quality down comforter or duvet.

Much like a pillow case on a pillow, a duvet cover is the protective and often a decorative cover that slips over the down comforter or duvet. Duvets are usually not washable, so duvet comforter covers or comforter duvet cover, are useful for they can be laundered along with other bed linens, keeping the duvet or down comforter fresh and clean always.

Luxury duvet covers are changeable and often reversible, with coordinating patterns and colors.  With duvet cover bedding, one can change the look of the room without having to completely redecorate.  Sometimes it is part of the bed ensemble along with sheet sets, shams, pillowcases and bedskirts.

What is advantageous, convenient and fascinating with a bed duvet cover is that it allows you to keep the same look in your bedroom in winter and in summer.  When it gets cold, you simply change a lighter weight duvet for a heavier one and when the weather gets warm, you can insert inside the lighter one.  However, if you want to have a constant change in the look of your room, you can have one duvet and multiple duvet cover sets with different patterns, colors and textures.

Duvet covers come in different styles, designs, patterns and fabrics as down comforters. Of course you can buy duvet covers online.  If you want a complete look in your bedroom, you can find duvet covers online with matching curtains and throw pillows. Discount duvet covers are also available on online sales.

There are various types to choose from. A no sew valance is an inexpensive and very popular type as well. It used to be that valances were more of formal designs with elaborate fringed and constructed from rich tapestries. Contemporary designs are typically made of linen or cotton which lends a more informal style.

Where you place your window valance is an important part of creating the enhancement of your windows. If you are looking to lengthen your windows you would place the valance at the bottom of your window consequently to shorten longer windows place the valances at the lower section.

Typically your valance should cover no more than one third of your window or they will overpower your window and look too ostentatious. Be cautious of the fact that using a valance at a two story window may cause the effect of lost height and space.

Some of the most typical valances styles are: Balloon valance which is called that because of the shape and the way it drapes at the window. The fabric is doubled along the rod which gives the effect of a balloon. By stuffing it with a soft substance such as tissue paper it creates shape.

Cotton fabrics or fabrics with bright patterns are an excellent choice. Another very popular type of valances is swag valances. This type of valance is best left short to bracket each side of your window. The swag is placed of each side of your window at the very top. You fold the material in a continuous parallel similar to that of a brochure fold or accordion and hang it across the two brackets. If your window is large then you may need a central bracket to secure the weight.

A more complicated type of valance is a pleated valance these are a little more complicated thus if you are thinking of making your own but are not a skilled draper you may want to leave it up to a professional. Even for the novice a window valance is pretty easy to create. Your main concern would be how well the window treatment ties in with your decor. It is just a matter of personal choice as to your style of valances and swags.

Personally I like a very feminine touch for my valances and find lace valances ideal for my rating profile.

Bedroom Decor – Get a Whole New Look, Just by Changing the Bedding

Bedroom Decor – Get a Whole New Look, Just by Changing the Bedding

While bedroom makeovers often focus on changing paint colors, flooring or carpet, wall art, lighting and window treatments, you can make a drastic change just with bedding. Your main concern when choosing bedding is the color of the walls and flooring. Unless you have a very thematic wall mural painted on a wall, you will be able to bring in almost any style of bedding that appeals to you with success as long as the colors blend or accent harmoniously. This is one of the biggest advantages of using neutrals or light pastels for wall colors; you can change the accents to suit your mood or the season without having to paint or make major changes to the decor.

As an example, if your walls are painted in a light taupe and your floors are neutral as well, you can bring in drama to the bedroom with bedding in shades of red, cream and khaki. With this color scheme, you could go very modern, with a bedspread of modern geometrics, graphic flowers or bold color blocks. Take the same color scheme and make it English country with a block print quilt of flowers in shades of red and rose against cream and khaki with pillows, shams and bed skirt accenting the same colors but in a mix of pattern, including gingham checks, ticking stripes, a contrasting floral pattern and plaids. Or make this color scheme eclectic with a paisley comforter in the same color scheme with bold stripes and accent colors in deep jewel tones.

Then take the same taupe walls and neutral floor colors and go a totally different direction. How about combining sophisticated shimmering crystal blue and deep espresso or chocolate? You could even go with shades of pale blue and green with accents of cream and brown to work against the same wall and floor colors.

Now that you see how you can use the same color scheme to get many different looks, we’ll talk a little about bedding components.

Bedding Basics

• A true bedspread will go all the way to the floor, blocking your view of the area beneath the bed. A quilt or comforter only drapes over three sides of the bed and does not reach to the bottom of the bed; when using a comforter, the box spring below the mattress is visible. Therefore, when choosing a comforter, you should choose a coordinating bed skirt as well. If your bed has side rails and you’d rather not use a skirt, you can use a coordinating fitted sheet to cover the box spring.

• A bed skirt doesn’t have to be an exact match to the comforter. Many bedding companies sell coordinating pieces in the same line: A striped skirt may be coordinated to go with a floral comforter. You can add a little designer flair if you mix up patterns in coordinating colors: solids, stripes, checks, florals, etc. all work together when united by color. You can also coordinate a square pleat bed skirt in a solid color or choose a lacy or embroidered skirt. Lay fabrics and options against each other in the store to mix and match and get a signature look, instead of one that looks pre-packaged.

• Mix and match sheets with your outer pieces. The pillows you sleep on will be hidden under the comforter or bedspread, so purchase a set of pillow shams that fit over an extra set of pillows and brings another coordinating layer to the mix. Make sure that your pillow sizes match your mattress size: king size pillow with a king size bed and queen pillows with a queen size mattress.

• Throw pillows are the icing on the cake. You’ll find them in every shape and size, from round or square, to bolsters, ovals, rectangles and themed shapes. Satin, corduroy, crochet or lace, cotton ticking, needlepoint and unlimited theme designs allow you to top of your new bedroom decor with a luxurious pile of finishing touches.
