Got the Winter Blues?

For those of us here in Pittsburgh and surrounding East Coast areas, I think it’s safe to say Winter has made its mark.  Though we deal with this blistery season every year, it’s inevitable we will whine about the snow and cold at least once in our day.   For those of you over shovels, rock salt, and dirty shoes (dare I say FLATS!), Mosaic’s got your cure for the winter blues…

…Just kidding!  Though that sure looks amazing right about now, doesn’t it?  Unfortunately we cannot offer the tranquil waters of the Maldives; however, we’ve put together some inspirations and ideas that will leave you thinking having the blues never felt so good! 

Recently, Pantone announced “Honeysuckle” as the 2011 Color of the Year.  And while that color will certainly be everywhere as we near Spring, there seems to be a different color on the block at the moment: Blue.

We saw it at the 2011 Golden Globes:

And of course, our closets:

As you continue to plan your Winter events, why not give your tabletop the blues?  Mosaic has a large variety of blue fabrics including solids, sheers, textures and prints. Choose from soft, pastel or sky blues tones.  Punch up your palette with bold shades of turquoise or royal blues. Add a majestic touch with regal hues of navy or midnight blues; or use tones of slate and federal blue to make a statement.  Whether you're planning an over-the-top gala or just looking to spruce up a small gathering, we’ve got your blues covered.  Don't be afraid to pair it with contrasting colors like bold greens, yellows, or metallics of silver or gold.

Also, be sure to check back for a sneak peak of an exciting event we’re working on this week.  We’ve sent some Mosaic gals across the State to work their magic in transforming an authentic Farm Show venue - previously housing 6,500 farm animals, complete with their own individual, pungent aromas - to a surreal Governor’s gala celebration, including Governor-Elect Tom Corbett, close to 5,000 guests, 30 bars (not to mention over 14,000 pieces of stemware and dishes), and just under 700 tablecloths… Oh and did we mention they had 72 hours to complete this mission? Spoiler alert: The event was pulled off without a hitch thanks to our dignitary Shelly Tolo, of Seattle-based TOLO Events, who many of you may already know as Mosaic’s Westcoast rep. Our next blog will include photos of the celebration, and some behind-the-scenes footage of the intense, and often grueling, process of bringing an event of this scale (think 3 football fields) to life.  Stay tuned!
