What Each Fabric Conveys at an Event

Choosing the right linen fabric can elevate an event’s mood—each texture and finish sends its own message. At GBS Linens, here’s how our standout fabrics shape the guest experience:

• Cottenesse: Crisp like cotton yet low-maintenance spun polyester. Ideal for casual elegance—think backyard weddings, farm-to-table dinners, or daytime corporate luncheons.

• Poly Poplin: Classic and durable with excellent color retention and stain resistance. A go-to for high-traffic events, conferences, and any situation where reliability matters.

• Crushed Iridescent Satin: Reflective and slightly textured, with an almost rainbow sheen. Perfect for evening receptions or after-dark galas that demand a touch of glamour.

• Pintuck: Luxuriously stitched with diamond tucks but without shine, this fabric offers refined texture—ideal for weddings or upscale gatherings with a modern, tactile twist.

• Velvet: Rich, lush, and slightly sheeny—velvet brings opulence. It’s ideal for winter events, romantic settings, or anywhere you want depth and drama.

• Geo Reversible: Modern patterned fabric that’s woven to be reversible—doubling your styling options for a sleek, contemporary vibe.

• Spandex: Stretchy, fitted, and modern—this four-way stretch fabric hugs tables and chairs snugly. Excellent for sleek cocktail setups or minimalist corporate events.

• Taffeta Sequins: Sparkling and celebratory—full glittering coverage perfect for spotlight areas like sweetheart tables or photo activations.

Pro Tip: Mix and layer—like pintuck runners over poly poplin drapes—for stylish depth without overdoing it. Let your linens help tell your event’s story!
