2. Spandex
Spandex offers a modern, fitted look while resisting moisture, perfect for cocktail tables or sleek reception styles. Available in bold hues like Neon Orange and Dark Copper. Discounted pricing come August 1, 2025!
3. Cottenesse
Looking like natural cotton but easy-care thanks to spun polyester, Cottenesse is perfect for casual-chic affairs, such as backyard weddings or farm-to-table dinners. Available in soft neutrals like Champagne and Dusty Rose, as well as richer tones such as Hunter Green and Burgundy .
4. Lamour
For a touch of luxe, Lamour is a matte satin with subtle luster, ideal for elegant summer soirées. Shades like Bright Champagne, Nu Blush, and Fiesta Coral bring soft warmth to tablescapes.
Color & Styling Tips
