Stop the Knot...

If you know anything about me I love a good napkin. Love is an understatement! I believe napkins are the perfect accessory to any table setting. However, not all napkin folds are created equal.

I appreciate a well curated and sewn napkin. Some of my favorite napkins are from www.somethingvintagerentals.com , www.etsy.com, Cynthia Rowley, Pomegranate, and textile companies in the South East United States.

Can we please stop sporting the "knot" napkin fold? It cheapens the overall aesthetic of the table design. I spend hours designing well curated floral centerpieces. When my team arrives onsite and we see a knot napkin being folded our hearts literally ache. There are so many more options. The waterfall fold is better than the knot.

Never be afraid to play with color or patterns. As a florist I have strong opinions on napkins and textiles for all tablescapes at any event. Our floral should complement the fabric you choose. Always ask your event florist what napkin fold would look great if you need guidance.

Always remember napkin rings exist for a reason ... stop knotting your naps!
