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!

Fresh Linens - "The Perfect Balance"

The Bride & Bloom Summer 2008 Cover The Bride & Bloom - Summer 2008



Mosaic's Camel Brushed Suede is featured in the Summer 2008 Fresh Linens section of The Bride and Bloom magazine.



"Linens can be fabulous without feeling elaborate. Simple textures, soft colors and subtle patterns can produce surprisingly elegant results. Your reception decor will have just the right balance of relaxation and indulgence."

Tabletop Gallery 2008 - "Violet Urban Landscape"

Special Events Magazine - May 2008

Written by Natasha Garber

As featured at the 2008 Special Event Tradeshow in Atlanta, GA, Mosaic's Violet Urban landscape design earned recognition at the Tabletop Gallery for the $1,000 and Above Each category in the May 2008 issue of Special Events Magazine.

"With precise detail and expansive imagination, innovative designers created entire worlds atop tables for the 2008 Tabletop Gallery at the Special Event in January in Atlanta. From green scenes to urban dreams, from geisha allure to finding the cure, the creative teams behind the themes reveal how they crafted their terrific tablescapes."

"Mosaic is often asked to create designs for affairs that are current and cutting-edge for a younger, fashion-forward and well-heeled crowd," says the company's Susie Perelman. In response, her tabletop featured sleek reflective surfaces and modern angles. The design included hand-pleated pewter dupioni silk skirting with amethyst overlays and pewter raw silk napkins accented by purple thread trim. Table settings included white square plates and Riedel's hip "O" wineglasses. Perelman added sleek sheets of glass that "seamlessly supported a linear arrangement of black calla lilies, purple roses and Vanda orchids." "Mirror shards and dangling cut crystal add to the lush raw silks and jewel-encrusted overlays," she notes.
