When To DIY | When To Hire a Pro
DIY (Do-It-Yourself) is all the rage these days and why not, making your wedding as unique as you are is part of the fun. But, keep in mind the keyword is FUN. When considering DIY projects it’s always important to know when to get crafty and when to call in a pro. As a wedding professional who has been a part of over 300 weddings and witnessed more DIY projects (some good and some Ohh So Bad) than anyone would care to know, I know first hand what DIY projects can be fun and which ones will leave you knee deep in glue sticks and aspirin wishing you had never taken on the task. To save you from a “hindsight is 20/20″ moment, here is a list of items that make for great DIY projects as well as a list of items you should leave to the pros!

Read More »Another Linen Myth Busted | Colored Linens Do Not Cost More!
There are some “wedding myths” that have been going around for years that many brides I talk to think are true. The main one that inspired this post – table linens.
Yes there are tons of options when it comes to linens and No, white linens are not cheaper than other colors. Specialty linens, yes. But a plain white polyester linen is made of the same exact material that a plain pink or black or green polyester linen is made of. Therefore, the same linen with just a different color, and thus, the same price.

I wanted to write a quick post to all of our readers to wish you a Happy Valentine’s Day. I also couldn’t help but share a “Love Inspired” wedding from one of my favorite florists. Now, for those of you who know me personally or have met with me at our showroom, you know I LOVE flowers…almost as much as I love linens and fabric, not only because flowers add so much to wedding decor and the overall look and feel of an event but because when done right, they make our linens look even more marvelous than they already are 
With that said, I always ask each of our clients who they are working with for flowers because I jump at the chance to recommend a GREAT florist….Allison from Flower Allie in Fullerton.
Allison has been my go to person for amazing wedding florals for many years. She is beyond talented and so sweet it’s almost scary. I wanted to share her recent “Love Inspired” wedding featuring over 4,000 red roses and dramatic shades of Black, White and Red. If you have not selected your florist please consider Allison and Flower Allie. You will be over the moon excited about your flowers!
To re-create this look for your upcoming wedding please contact our showroom for the rental of our Nova Silk Pintuck Linens in White, Black Satin Napkins, Black Beaded Charger Plates, Bling Glass Candle Holders and Black Chiavari Chairs.
Happy Valentine’s Day from the staff at Kennedy Couture Linens!

Every wedding needs details. It’s what makes your wedding different from the thousands of other weddings that happen every year. So what are details? Details tell your guests who you are. They reflect your personal style and are what will stick with your guests long after you have said your I Do’s.

Working in the wedding industry, I have had the chance to work with hundreds of brides in all price ranges. Some have over the top linen budgets some are using the linen provided by their venue and can only afford accent napkins or runners. The one thing these brides all have in common is they are all on a budget. Now that budget may be different from bride to bride but nontheless, everyone has a budget.
