One of the hottest trending colors for any special event in 2010 and into 2011 is the color Purple. Maybe the universe was trying to tell us that Prince William and Kate Middleton would be engaged and tying the knot this year as we all flocked to the color Purple. Here's an <a href="http://itotd.com/articles/383/the-color-purple/">interesting </a>little quip on why the color Purple is associated with Royalty today:</div><div><br /></div><div>"According to an ancient Roman legend, in about 1500 B.C., Hercules was walking his sheepdog on the beach one day. After biting into a mollusk, the dog’s mouth turned an unusual color. The mollusk, known as murex, was the first source of purple dye for fabrics—a pigment called Tyrian purple. The process by which the coloring agent was extracted, which required salt, heat, and water, was difficult and labor-intensive. In addition, each mollusk produced such a small quantity of dye that thousands were needed for a single garment. This is why purple was so expensive and came to be associated with royalty—generally the only people who could afford such extravagance."</div><div><br /></div><div>At <a href="http://www.elegantbeginningsinc.com">Elegant Beginnings, Inc.</a>, we wonder if Prince William and Kate Middleton might engage in the use of this Royal color or choose a more traditional Royal Blue.

We were last minute linen bookers. With everything else we had going on, I just completely forgot about table linens! We booked with Elegant Beginnings maybe 2 weeks before our wedding date and their customer service was excellent. The sales associate I dealt with was Krystal and she was so friendly and helpful, that it put us both at ease. Their selection is amazing and their pricing is reasonable for the quality of linens they offer. We got the whole package (table linens, seat covers, and sashes) and they delivered and set everything up for us. The foam-backed chair covers totally changed the look of the dumb banquet chairs. I highly recommend those over the traditional satin covers. </i><br />

However, the Elegant Beginnings, Inc. team is always on the prowl for a reason to mix international celebrity with our local Houston charm. Fun facts we love! Did you know that the parents of Kate Middleton own a party supply business called <a href="http://www.partypieces.co.uk/cm/aboutus.htm">Party Pieces</a>? Just as Jill Vidal launched her own linen rental business in Houston ten years ago, Carole Middleton launched her company in 1987 to inspire other moms to have magical parties as home. <br />
