Utilizing Mahogany Chiavari Chairs & Wedding Linens Direct from National Event Supply to Make an Event Pop!

I came across a fabulous wedding which took place at the Brock House Restaurant in Vancouver and thought it was such a beautiful event that it deserved a nod on our blog.

Party rental companies who also do event design or event planning will truly appreciate the little details this wedding has that makes it a truly beautiful, vintage chic wedding as the author Stephanie Weers of Style me Pretty has classified it as.

I thought that deconstructing some of the key wedding pieces using National Event Supply’s products as well as others would be an interesting way to pull together new themed looks for our readers.

Instead of using the traditional rounds, the bride and groom along with their event planner Petite Pearl Events chose a different route utilizing rectangle tables. If you’re hoping to achieve this same look you could use wood harvest tables covered in ivory wedding linens direct from National Event Supply.

For seating, the wedding went the traditional classic chiavari chair route. The same look can be achieved with National Event Supply’s Mahogany Chiavari Chairs with Plywood Base Chiavari Chair Cushion in White.

As far as wedding tableware, I’ll break it down into wedding dishes, event glassware, and wedding cutlery. Wedding dishes – feature a white dinnerware set with rolled rim similar to the Hotelier white dinnerware line. The cup is so similar that I wondered if it was the Hotelier dishes!

Event Glassware could be achieved with the Eclisse 11oz water glass and the Eclisse 12oz wine glass or utilizing the Serenity Crystal stemware collection should wholesale crystal stemware be a preference to the couple.

Wedding cutlery could be achieved utilizing Concord Cutlery a popular flatware line.

I would be remiss if I didn’t mention the photographer of this event, Vasia Photography, who shot some truly glorious images all shown above.

Spandex cocktail table covers are a popular linen option to cover wood cruiser tables or folding high cocktail tables for events. They`re sleek, contemporary, and easy to clean for party rental companies, hotels, golf courses, banquet halls or caterers who stock them. When these companies are starting their search for spandex cocktail table covers, the most common question encountered seems to be how much do spandex cocktail table linens cost in Canada? This blog post will detail the range of cost (in Canadian dollars, assuming as if buying from a Canadian or US event equipment supplier) and the colour choices and reasons for cost variations.

Stretch cocktail table covers vary greatly in the Canadian Market and range in price from $19.95 CDN - $58.00 CDN. The price tends to vary based on colour of fabric (as some suppliers charge extra for different colours), size of fabric (a 42” high linen will generally be more expensive than a 30” high linen) and the finishing associated with the table cover (whether it is a hemmed or surged finish). The most popular colours for spandex cocktail table cloths include white, black and ivory.

Shipping costs on Spandex Cocktail Table Covers:

The shipping costs of these linens usually run $7.00 – $25.00 per table cover depending on the size of the order (shipping costs tend to decrease dramatically per piece based on volume), where it is shipping from and where it is shipping to. The shipping costs vary solely on volume, weight and shipping location. Nationally based suppliers to the hospitality industry will have multiple warehouses across the country to provide better shipping rates coast to coast. Also keep in mind that suppliers in the United States often may not have factored in the duties and customs fees associated with trans-border linen shipments – which tend to add an additional cost to each piece (above and beyond the exchange associated with the Canadian / United States Dollar).

More and more over the years National Event Supply has increasingly gained additional customers in the catering / foodservice industry – particularly in the Greater Toronto area with respect to their catering supplies such as porcelain platters & bowls, melamine platters & bowls, porcelain wonton spoons, porcelain tasting spoons, amuse-bouche spoons & amuse-bouche forks. And because so many folks know our thoughts (from this website) on quality products and great service, they often ask us who would we classify as the best catering supply store and competitors that sell catering supplies in the area.

We like to be as transparent as possible with our customers and because of this, here is a list of some of the companies that have a solid catering supply history in the Toronto area:
