Let’s Have a Striped Moment
A LITTLE STRIPE GOES A LONG WAY
There’s something about a stripe that instantly makes a wedding feel a little more interesting. Classic without feeling expected, playful without losing its polish, stripes have a way of bringing personality into a design while still letting the rest of the day shine.
And the best part? You don’t need to stripe the entire wedding to make an impact. A beautifully chosen linen, a ribbon detail, a patterned invitation or an unexpected moment at the bar can be just enough to give the celebration that layered, thoughtfully designed feeling. Below, we’re sharing a few of our favorite ways to weave stripes into a wedding day … some subtle, some statement-making, and all proof that a little pattern can go a very long way.
STRIPED TABLE LINENS
Let the Table Have a Little Fun
Striped linens are an easy way to bring a little rhythm to the table. They add pattern, dimension, and just enough personality to make a tablescape feel considered without feeling overly designed. Paired with beautiful florals, tailored place settings, or even the simplest tabletop details, a stripe can do a surprising amount of work … turning an otherwise classic table into something that feels fresh, unexpected, and entirely its own. We love the sage green linens that were used in Samantha and Al’s Inn at Rancho Santa Fe wedding.
STRIPED BRIDESMAID DRESSES
A Different Take on the Bridesmaid Dress
Who says the bridal party has to be perfectly uniform? Striped dresses bring a little fashion into the lineup, creating movement and personality while still feeling polished as a group. Whether it’s one unexpected print mixed into a sea of solids or a collection of stripes in complementary tones, the result feels less like a traditional bridesmaid look and more like a thoughtfully styled part of the wedding day.
STRIPED SHADE UMRELLAS
Look Up
Sometimes the best design moments aren’t on the table … they’re overhead. Striped umbrellas at cocktail hour or reception turn a practical detail into a scene, bringing color, pattern, and a little dose of European holiday energy to the celebration. They create an instant visual moment while offering shade for guests, proving that the most memorable design choices can be the ones that do a little bit of both.
STRIPED GIFTED PAJAMAS
The Morning, Styled
The getting-ready hours deserve a little design love, too. A set of striped pajamas gifted by the bride gives the bridal party a moment that feels thoughtful, personal, and effortlessly photogenic. It’s the kind of detail that sets the tone before the ceremony even begins … and becomes a keepsake long after the last glass of champagne is poured.
STRIPED RECEPTION CHAIRS
Even the Chairs Get a Moment
Why stop at the linens? Striped reception chairs bring pattern to the table from an entirely different angle, turning an often-overlooked detail into part of the overall design. Against a more pared-back tabletop, they add just the right amount of visual interest … proof that sometimes it’s the unexpected pieces that make a dinner setting feel truly memorable. We are obsessed with the pink and white striped reception chairs at Anna and Dan’s Villa Royale wedding.
