Okay, we’re not trying to be dramatic, but… WE’RE IN THE NEW YORK TIMES! 🎉 The iconic publication just dropped their 2026 wedding trends forecast, and our President Dawn Crothers was tapped as an industry expert to spill the deets on what’s next in event design. (Cue the happy dance.)
So what’s the verdict? 2026 is all about going BOLD. We’re talking saturated colors, statement stripes, and tablescapes that pack a serious punch. Let’s get into it.

Saturated Colors Are Having a Moment
Dawn told the Times that couples are officially over playing it safe. “We’re seeing couples choosing to make a statement with saturated colors,” she shared. “Hues like red, teal, burgundy, and deep green will be strong for 2026.”
Translation? It’s time to ditch the muted palettes and embrace color that demands attention. Think jewel-toned glassware, richly hued linens, and tablescapes that SHINE!!



Stripes Galore
Pinterest’s 2026 trend report backs it up—vivid colors and stripes are inspiring décor choices everywhere. And honestly? We’ve been ready. Our striped linens like our Showgirl Blue Striped Linen, Sorbet Pink + Orange Striped Linen, and Fireside Orange + Mulberry Striped Linen bring instant energy to any tablescape, whether you’re going for a bold orange-and-teal moment or something a little more subtle, but still statement-making.
