Decor / Damask pattern / Burgandy color help!

Hi! I figured I would post in reception ideas. I have always loved the damask pattern, but also always figured our wedding would be white and burgundy. With probably silver and black accents. (Not that silver and black would be used for anything really, just that if we couldn't use white or burgundy, that silver and blak would be the colors we would use as opposed to gold, brown or navy) Anyway, I can find tons of pictures of damask weddings with touches of pink or red or green as the accent color. But what I am wondering is do you think that we could do a white and burgundy wedding with damask as an accent color? And if so, what would be best to be in damack? So far, I'm thinking that the placecards, menus and card box could be damask, but I'm not sure if that's too much stuff, or not enough, or if it would just look odd if everything else is white and burgandy. Do you have any ideas to help me out? Thanks!

  • You could use the damask on your invitations and anything paper like you suggested and then have black, white, burgundy table decor and flowers.This might give you some ideas: [url]<a href="http://images.google.com/images?client=firefox-a&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&channel=s&hl=en&q=damask%20and%20burgundy%20wedding&um=1&ie=UTF-8&sa=N&tab=wi" rel='nofollow'>http://images.google.com/images?client=firefox-a&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&channel=s&hl=en&q=damask%20and%20burgundy%20wedding&um=1&ie=UTF-8&sa=N&tab=wi</a>[/url]

  • I REMEMBER WHEN I WAS AT 9 MONTHS TO GO UNTIL I WAS GOING TO GET MARRIED.  NOW I AM AT 100 DAYS (OKAY 103).  IT WILL BE HERE BEFORE YOU KNOW IT, AND YOU WILL BE TOTALLY CONSUMED.  YOU WILL WAKE UP IN THE MORING TO WEDDING, AND GO TO SLEEP AT NIGHT STILL THINKING WEDDING.  FUN, FUN- I CANNOT WAIT FOR IT TO BE DONE. 
  • I'm using the black and white damask for the reception theme and found myself going damask over board! haha!All my paper will be damask (invites, STD, placecards, menus, RD invites).  I was looking for damask tablecloths but then decided that was overkill and am now thinking of doing runners and am drawn to the damask that isn't as condensed because it doesn't photograph as well - does that make any sense.Anyway I think that using damask as just an accent would look really nice and classy.  Do your paper in damask and you could even do a damask ribbon tied around the centerpieces.  I think that would be enough with your white and burgundy theme.
  • I'm using damask in my wedding.  We found damask ribbon at JoAnn's that I am using to tie ribbons on my flower girls' baskets.  Also, there are some cute damask ring pillows on etsy.com  We are also placing sheets of damask paper beneath our center pieces.  There are just touches of damask throughout the ceremony and reception.
