Linen Rentals – Choosing Your Party Colors (Part 1)

You are here:

  3. Linen Rentals – Choosing Your…

When throwing a party, there are many things to consider, especially the décor aspect because that is the first impression that your guests will see when they first arrive. When you’re tackling the décor, there are a 2 things to consider when you first get started: color and theme. Some parties start out with a particular theme that will help you get started on picking out your colors. For example: Luau parties usually use vibrant colors like turquoise, orange, fuchsia, etc. while casino parties usually use colors like black, white, and red.

But, if you don’t have a theme for your event, how do you go about picking out the colors for your linen rentals?

First of all, it’s good to understand color. There are warm colors such as red, orange, and yellow and there are cool colors such as green, blue, and violet. Then there are your neutrals, which are black, white, ivory and brown.

It’s important to understand how to match and pair your colors and which colors you want as main colors and which colors you want as accent colors. Main colors are usually your table linen while accent colors comprise of a smaller amount of the table settings and are usually your napkins or sash. If you have more than 1 main color, you might want to use an overlay over your linen that goes to the ground.

Let’s take a look at the 6 basic colors on a color wheel. Do you remember learning about the colors of the rainbow in school? ROY G. BIV, which stands for the colors: Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo, and Violet On a basic color wheel, the color Indigo is usually left out, so that it looks like this:

By using the color wheel to help you, you can find different ways to pair colors with your main color.

Monochromatic Colors:
Using the same color linens, but using light or dark versions of that same color. For example, light pink napkins accent this fuchsia pink linen to the ground. The look is subtle but still allows it to be colorful without introducing another color.

Analogous Colors:
If you want a subtle look, but want something with a little bit more color, you can choose any color linens next to your primary color. For example, red and orange are next to each other on the color wheel and complement each other very well on this buffet station.

This Hawaiian-themed buffet station uses monochromatic colors of Lamour Turquoise linens on the round tables on the left and right and a lighter Crushed Iridescent Aqua linen in the middle. Analogous colors of blue and green are seen here with the Crushed Iridescent Seaside linens as accents on top and flowing down the tables.

There are still so many ways to pair and match colors together. We will continue in our next post with other ways to mix and match and accent your linens and table settings. We would love to hear how you have matched colors together or if you have come across any challenges when preparing your party decor, so please leave us a comment. We love to hear from you.

IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT REGARDING COVID-19

The Stuart Rental Company’s highest priority is the health and safety of our team members, clients, and their families. Therefore, we are taking this opportunity to set forth how we are managing our business operations during the COVID-19 pandemic.

We will continue to update our policies as we learn more from the medical and scientific community, including new information from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. We encourage everyone to frequently refer to the CDC website for the latest on how best to contain and mitigate the impact of the virus.

OUR SHOWROOM IS OPEN

LIMITED HOURS: 10:00AM to 2:00PM, MON-FRI

CLEANING AND SANITATION

We have enhanced the process and increased the frequency of our equipment cleaning, spending extra attention to regularly contacted surfaces.

  • – We are using the same chemicals on our equipment as hospitals use to disinfect their surfaces.
  • – In addition, we continue to launder all linens and disinfect dishware, silverware, and glassware with high-temp commercial dishwashers, industrial sanitizers and chemicals.
  • – These processes are done in compliance with the latest California state and federal CDC guidance to ensure our products are COVID-19-free following their cleaning.
  • – We are cleaning our showroom, offices, warehouse and common areas with greater frequency using hospital-grade disinfectants, paying special attention to frequently touched surfaces.
  • – We have curtailed all non-essential employee travel to minimize the risk of spreading the virus to our staff and among the general population and we have instructed employees who feel ill to stay home and consult their healthcare provider.

 

DELIVERY AND PICKUP PROTOCOL: 10:00AM to 2:00PM, MON-FRI

We are keeping our teams current on all recommendations and updates from the CDC as well as instituting new safety precautions for the pickup and delivery of any product.

  • – We have equipped our delivery and pickup teams with masks, nitrile gloves, hand sanitizer, and EPA-approved cleaners/disinfectants specifically recommended by the CDC in its Environmental Cleaning and Disinfection Recommendations.
  • – During pickups and deliveries, we wipe all products with all-purpose cleaning solution and a disinfecting cleanser.
  • – Nitrile gloves are carefully disposed of after every pickup.
  • – We have instructed our staff to follow CDC-recommended social distancing guidelines, including avoiding shaking hands and using proper hygiene etiquette including hand washing.

We are committed to doing what is necessary to curtail the impact of COVID 19 and will therefore update these policies as the CDC and local and state health officials issue more guidance.
