Maxwell believes that you can bring your garden inside by using floral borders on your table tops. Enhance your guest tables and make your head table more fabulous by following these suggestions:

Lavender - The Color of Royalty

Roses equal romance. How does one use a wallpaper border for tabletop decorating? S. A. Maxwell's "Country Chic" collection features an exquisite cabbage rose border in lavender and creme. Add style to your head and guest tables by using either creme or lavender tablecloths. Place the 10-inch wide cabbage rose border in lavender down the center of the table and cut at both ends. Soft lavenders, pink blushes and yellows are sizzling hot colors in decorating as well as bridesmaids apparel. Complete your table setting with white china, lavender cloth napkins and place dried lavender rose petals directly on the tablecloth and napkins to add the finishing touches to your fairytale day. Country Chic also features many other styles and colors.

Sophisticated in Pink - Breathtaking

Pink -- real men wear pink and wear it well. It's a captivating color for the blushing bride and groom. A magnificent Magnolia border from the "Coordinates" wall covering collection from L.V. Emmert Studio, a division of S. A. Maxwell, has a beautifully sculptured edge. This enhances your wedding style and brings color and unique design to your tabletop. Use our eight-inch pink sculpted magnolia border down the center of a white linen tablecloth or hang it along the front of the head table or around the head and guest tables. To attach the border to the table edge, use either Velcro, double-faced tape or staples. Complete the look with white china, burgundy napkins and soft pink candles. Very formal, yet chic.

A Touch of France - Provence Style

Flowing hydrangea's bring the heart of France into your wedding day. The sunny side of Provence has influenced the use of the color yellow into America and has brought it into the forefront in decorating and fashion. Yellow combined with blue exudes a French flair. S. A. Maxwell's "Lincoln Park" wall covering collection features a beautiful yellow hydrangea border. Use this dramatic 10-inch floral border as decorative accents to your wedding cake, gift, desert and receiving tables.

Remember the color of the border is very important and must also flow with your centerpieces. Be daring and be different on your wedding day. Enhance your wedding by using S. A. Maxwell's beautiful wallpaper borders. To find the nearest retailer carrying Lincoln Park, Coordinates and Country Chic, call S. A. Maxwell Co.

Prom Hair Styles

The perfect hairstyle completes your perfect look for prom. Look at our website, or through magazines to find styles that would work with your hair and your dress. Practice your hairstyle several times before the special event to see how long it will take and to ensure you have all the right supplies and equipment to make it work. Make sure you feel comfortable and beautiful in your selected hairstyle. If you are having it done for you, be sure to take along the photo so the stylist knows what your vision is of your total look. On your special night, you’ll look terrific, so don’t forget to smile pretty for all those photos!

Dressing Your Maids

The first step to choosing a bridesmaid gown is to determine the formality, style and fabric of the wedding gown so that the maids gowns do not overpower the bride. Choose the color first to narrow choices. You might want to begin choosing a gown style with the larger maids in mind. In recent years, prices have declined making the average maid's dress only $140. With careful selection, your bridesmaids will be happy with the final results and spend the wedding day celebrating with the bride and her groom.

How to Shop for Your Dress

Many dresses sell out during prom season so for best selection – shop early! Try on different styles to discover your favorite look. Or if you are ordering online, take accurate measurements to get the best fit as formal dresses usually run small. Alterations are important for a perfect fit so don’t be discouraged if your dress doesn’t fit you perfectly but purchase your dress as early as possible to allow time for alterations and fittings. Buy your jewelry, shoes and other accessories at the same time to make things easier. After you are all done with shopping you can relax and dream of your big night! Have a great time!
