Designer Specialty Linens

May 2010 (post-wedding) Update:
All in all, I LOVED the linens from Designer Specialty Linens and I think they made a HUGE impact on my reception (see PIB)! I feel that they were comparably priced to others and since I ordered a lot of linens (and very high end ones), this was a big chunk of my decor budget and I felt it was worth it. As far as I know there were no problems in delivery, setup, etc. and when I arrived to the reception, it was all beautiful, so I have no complaints there. They were also very easygoing to work with, which I feel can be a pro and a con. Overall, I recommend them, but I would recommend to any brides using their services to book with them early (as in before you get crazy and frantic) because their follow-through is sometimes lacking. To their credit, they don't get all uptight if you haven't paid in full by a set # of days in advance, etc. so they are easygoing in both directions (as opposed to some vendors who don't get back to you but then get upset if you're not prompt with every little thing) but I was a bit frustrated to feel like I had to track them down at times. Still, everyone was very nice and their linens are beautiful. I would definitely recommend this vendor.


Original Review:
So far, so good! Met with David for over an hour looking at different linens options, trying them out, and playing with ideas for colors (of napkins, flowers/centerpieces, chargers, etc.). Also met briefly with Dahlia. Both were very nice, no pressure, but they did offer opinions and suggestions. When we decided the best option for napkins was white, David said that I could probably have the reception site provide these to save some money -- love that!

They allowed me to take a full tablecloth in the linen I thought I wanted to the reception site to try it out to be sure! I didn't leave a deposit or anything, just called ahead to let them know I needed it, picked it up, and then brought it back when I was done. Very easy and really gave me peace of mind that what I liked in their showroom was also great for my reception site.

Really nice people with some very nice linens options. They don't have as many choices as some places, but I was still able to find something unique and special that fit my wedding vision.

When we started planning our wedding, we didn't even know designer linens even existed. Then we met Dahlia.

This vendor will tranform you event into something so unique, so special, and so very YOU! Dahila and team bent over backwards to make both our wedding and rehearsal dinner beautiful. Beyond the ordinary, Dahila has a way of making your vision a dream come true.

Beautiful linens at affordable prices. My clients are always in "awe" of their selection and unique designs.

At Massey's House of Flowers, we are able to use Designer Specialty Linens to enhance the floral decor. Dahlia works with all vendors to see that brides are able to achieve the look that they desire. The choices of fine linens, napkins, overlays, Chiavari Chairs, chair covers and accessories are enormous. When beauty and quality are desired, D.S.L. is the place to go!

SO many beautiful linens and great service!!
