Black on Black

We are constantly updating our collections, adding the latest textures, patterns and colours to our ever growing selection. Where we get our inspiration, you ask? Fashion plays a major role in our choices. When we see designer gowns, sequence blazers or patterned pants we think 'how can we use this'. Whether it is for an elaborate cake table design or a light weight overlay for guest tables we take the time to find the perfect shades and designs that match emerging trends. 

One of the latest trends we've fallen in love with? Black. It's edgy, sophisticated, elegant and posh. For a wedding this may seem a little dreary but we think it could be fabulous - if done correctly.

Our Black Bella and Black Magic are two of our newest pieces. With a black on black pattern and flecks of gold these event linens are glamorous yet understated.

Our Black Chevron is a little more out there. Its shimmering surface will create a sleek and sexy look to your design. Pairing the Black Chevron with our Midnight Black Satina gives off the impression of leather next to the sequence pattern.

Our Panama Pin Dot fabric is a classic piece. We have it in many colours and it never seems to go out of style. The black is a new addition to our collection, however, and we are sure you are going to love it! If you are looking for a mat black, quality fabric, this is the one!

 Some of our favourite events were the ones that sported this edgy black theme. The first image was from a wedding we helped design last year at One King West. We love the grandeur of this space. That paired with the dark colour scheme and unique arrangements make the space eerie yet beautiful.

These next two photos are from St. Joe's Summer Solstice at Liberty Grand. The theme was very much a South Beach meets LA inspired design. The all black and white outdoor lounge was beautifully accented with some sparkle and mirrored furniture.

Looking for ways to accessories an all black event? It's easier than you'd think...

 Black and gold is everywhere these days. On clothes, boots, bags, even in home decor. And with good reason. Adding gold accessories will transform a simple design into one that is classy and enchanting.

Bring in pops of gold. Menus, place cards, charger plates or centerpieces. There are so many ways to incorporate the rich colour into your design.

To keep a sophisticated, posh look try a little glitz and some pearl accents. Our new brooches and diamond napkin rings are simple and easy!

Add a little sparkle with a glitzy centerpiece or diamond trim.

Inspired by Gatsby

  

Hollywood's highly anticipated hit film, The Great Gatsby, has got everyone talking! The luxurious gowns, dapper men and overflowing champagne flutes have inspired many in the event industry to recreate the story in their own events.

The beautiful shimmering gowns and intricate jewelry has inspired us to create a new line of linens inspired by Gatsby. With its gilded patterns, reflective surfaces and sequence sparkle our new collection of classic linens are the perfect way to dress your twenties glam table tops.

If this glitzy look is not for you, try a geometric print linen. Use Art deco designs to accent your event to bring a unique look to any space.

The chandelier is an iconic piece that transforms a simple venue into an elegant space. However it is difficult to bring in to certain spaces so instead adorn the room with candelabras or highlight a VIP table with our custom table top chandeliers.

 

Dress your chair backs in flapper-styled covers. From fringe and jewels to Ostrich feathers and tulle!

Our custom made bouquets made of art deco jewelry and our feather fans are stunning new decor designs inspired by the jewelry of the twenties.

Bridal Bliss!

A little inspiration can go a long way.

We love to inspire brides, planners and others in the event industry. This is why we love sharing our custom designs to show you there are no boundaries when it comes to your event decor. Here is one of our latest designs - we know you're going to LOVE this!

What inspired us to come up with this stunning design was the latest up and coming trend in the bridal world, Tulle, and our intricate sparkling brooches. It inspired us to create this soft, elegant look that screams bridal!

We put this together at the Estates of Sunnybrook, and what a perfect setting it was for this fabulous design. The charming bay window is the perfect back drop for any head table.

Our custom Table Top Chandelier framed the crystal chandelier perfectly. This custom Susan Murray design is the perfect way to highlight a head table in a fun and unique way.

This shimmering overlay, called White Gardenia, is exclusive to Susan Murray. It is one of our specialty pieces that really creates a focal point at your event - perfect for a head table! 

This linen and overlay combination picks up the light perfectly creating a soft glow. We love this new fabric because it is so versatile. It could work perfectly for a white winter wedding or pair it with some brightly colored florals and a color napkin and it can work as a soft spring look, just like the one we have created here.

We've used our brooches in a number of different ways to tie in the theme and to add even more sparkle to the table. These card holders are a rich and elegant way to compliment these regal menus.

These are two of our newest event accessory creations. These custom chair accessories have just the right amount of bling and feathery tulle for a bride on her special day. What better way to highlight the bride at a shower or at the wedding reception than a chair like this! Our ivory tufted pillow with the soft ruffled tulle creates a whimsical chair back, as if you're floating on a cloud.

Our large chiffon roses are such a classic yet versatile piece for decor design. They can be used in so many ways, but this is one of our favorites. The ruffled tulle is like leaves cascading down the back of the chair. These are the perfect accent for our simple Tiffany Crystal Chivari Chair.

The florals were breath taking to say the least! They really brought the entire look together. The pops of pink and purple with a few greens amongst the soft white flowers were the perfect way to balance the table. 

The five tier cake was a beautifully detailed work of art. Everything from the hand crafted flower topper to the silver draping was perfection. It went well with our design - a dream cake for any princess bride!

To compliment the florals and add a bit more color to the table top we used our Lilac Panama Pin Dot Napkin.

It wouldn't be a Susan Murray design without a few detailed accessories!

A variety of small votives were scattered around the table. The soft glow of the candles really made all of the bling shine!

 

In keeping with our theme a small detailed brooch was attached to our Lilac Panama Pin Dot Napkin.

Draped around the cake was our Lilac Reversible Satin with a diamond chain.
