TRENDING: SNAKESKIN

Updated: Aug 12, 2020

Animal print is big this year. From leopard print to tiger print, and zebra print to snake print... these wild patterns have become staples in the fashion industry. Not only do these prints add a fun statement to any outfit, they can also be considered a neutral at times. So why not incorporate them into your events as well?

We have a variety of different animal print linens available to us. But when Brett saw the rattlesnake print, she knew we needed to order it. For this table we just wanted the snakeskin to be an accent but it can be ordered in any size you want; from table linens to runners or napkins. We decided on Rattle Snake Yellow printed on matte satin paired with a silver velvet linen.

The place settings are made up of our black plastic charger, platinum dinner plate, duchess salad plate, Capri gold flatware, beer pints and Bordeaux glasses. To incorporate the iridescent quality of snakeskin, we found these fun cups at Homegoods which are a gray-yellow mercury glass. It helped tie in the gold flatware, and yellow accents found in the menu, napkin and centerpiece. We really wanted a real snake for the centerpiece but settled on the way-less-creepy snake plant. For the menus, we kept it simple with white text on charcoal gray paper but used an old embossed label maker to create the names. Once again, this little accent of color and texture really helped pull together this entire look. With most of our styled shoots or tablescapes, we choose a theme and then find the items that fit best that theme. So it was fun to reverse the process this time and start with the snakeskin napkin and build from there.
