Fabric Terms and Table Setting Terms

What is a harlequin veil? What is a sash? These are questions we’re happy to answer and we often do. Fabrics are our passion, and here are some fabric terms defined. If you need more explanation, please call. 877-410-6367. We’re here to help.

Brocade - Rich, heavy fabric interwoven with a raised design. Brocade can add a highlight to a room, a deep centerpiece to a table. Often very effective in traditional and formal settings.

Chair band - A simple chair embellishment. The band adds a spark of color to a room. Color and texture are often chosen for contrast but chair bands are also wonderful tone-on-tone additions to a room setting.

Chair Sash – Longer and wider than a chair tie, a chair sash allows you an extra flourish. Use a sash to dress up a chair and embellish it with a gorgeous bow and streamers.

Chair Tie - Add color and contrast with a chair tie – a great way to add a dash of color and to extend your theme. Pair a tie with a coordinating chair cover to put a fine finish to your table décor.

Harlequin Veil – A chair cover accessory, the harlequin veil fits over the back of a chair, draping the shoulders like a beautiful shawl. Use these elegant touches to add color, contrast and drama to your special event.

 

Velvet – A luxurious, plush fabric, velvet drapes in reflected light. Use velvet chair accessories – a harlequin veil or chair band – or as a table square to add rich color to your room décor.
