Wedding
Wedding ribbon is chosen at three moments: the invitation, the table, the bouquet. Three moments, three widths, one palette.
A wedding takes eighteen months to plan, and ribbon comes into play once the stationery is chosen. An invitation is tied in 10 mm or 15 mm, a napkin in 25 mm, a bouquet in 40 mm or wide organza. These three widths are not interchangeable: they match three reading distances, the card in the hand, the table seen from a chair, the bouquet in a photograph.
The palette is set with samples in hand, not on a screen. Once the palette is settled, quantities are counted in metres, per table and per invitation. A wedding of one hundred guests needs about 35 m of satin for invitations and 120 m for napkins. Ordering two to three weeks before the day is enough: satin marks when it waits.
00
Count 30 to 35 cm of ribbon per invitation: one hundred pieces need about 35 m of 15 mm satin, so less than one 100 m roll (ref. 80239, 11.90 €).
01
A napkin takes 1.20 m: one hundred napkins mean two 100 m rolls of 25 mm satin (ref. 80161, 16.60 € per roll).
02
Order the sample box at 6.90 € before committing to the palette: the amount is deducted from your first order, and satin shifts tone with the light.
