Trend Spotted: Sequined Tablecloths (and Where to Get Them)

Sequined magenta tablecloths brightened up the auction tent at the 13th annual Naples Winter Wine Festival in January. Festival co-chairwoman Terry Edwards designed the event with linens from La Tavola. "I thought something sparkly would add some glamor and support our theme of When Stars Align," she said. "We also used star-like lighting in the tent, and for the first time we used high-resolution TV screens to show the auction items and live bidding. The colors really popped."

Events by André Wells designed and produced the January 11 BET Honors Dinner in Washington. The event's signature color is purple, which Wells used in several sequined tablecloths from La Tavola. The linens provided sparkle, which was essential because the venue, the U.S. Library of Congress, did not permit candles or any open flames.

The theme for DirecTV Super Saturday Night Super Bowl party in New Orleans in February was "Eyes Wide Shut," which CL22 Productions created with S&M touches such as costumed characters wearing feathers, latex, leather, and chains—and black sequined tablecloths from Town and Country Event Rentals.

To show off renovations to the Teddy Roosevelt Memorial Rotunda and North American Mammals Hall, the museum hosted a 1920s-themed event last month. Highboy tables were dressed in gold-hued sequined tablecloths from the Finishing Touch. Invision Events designed the gathering, which drew event and conference clients.
