Designers of some of the world’s most beautiful table linens, Summerill & Bishop have just unveiled a new collection in collaboration with iconic British retailer, MATCHESFASHION.
Table linen: probably not the first thing you might jump to when starting to plan the wedding, but it’s definitely going to be there on the list, especially when it comes to the reception tables. And, if you really think about it, your linen is your base – your canvas if you will – for your entire table setting. It needs to set the tone, compliment your chosen botanicals and crockery, basically, pave the way for a tables-cape your guests will remember.
Summerill & Bishop, a luxury label conceived back in 1994 in Holland Park and founded by friends June Summerill and Bernadette Bishop, brings forth a world of delectable table linen (as well as tableware and homeware accessories) that changes with every season. And, there’s no doubt in our mind that the brand’s unique linen wares (often created in collaboration with artists, other brands and designers) will spark inspiration no end when it comes to decisions regarding your wedding day theme and table setting.
We particularly love Summerill & Bishop’s one rule: “if they wouldn’t hang it up on the wall as art, it shouldn’t be on the table as a tablecloth.”
The brand’s latest collaboration with the luxury powerhouse MATCHESFASHION is, therefore, one to get excited about. With a shared focus on what they describe as “luxury, creativity, quality and craftsmanship” there is a clear synergy between the two brands. The new collection ‘Marble in Green & White’ is a clear blend of the two labels, inspired by the fluid movement, rich colour and sheer elegance that marbling offers. And as they explain, ‘Marble’ is “classic and contemporary all at once, it bridges both worlds, effortlessly.”
Ideal for a sumptuous, botanical-infused wedding venue or an orangery at an old country estate, there’s no doubt that Summerill & Bishop x MATCHESFASHION’s ‘Marble’ would cause quite the stir.
Never thought you’d be so excited about table linen? Neither did we!
The new collection includes a tablecloth (available in three sizes) and a napkin, all of which are crafted from 100% pure linen and available from Summerill & Bishop online and in-store.
