I haven't seen damask in a wedding, really ever. I think it gets so overplayed online that people are afraid to use it, or maybe my friends are just really hip? The last two weddings in KY that I've been to definintely haven't had even a little.
The last wedding I shot in VA with Damask was early fall 2008. I haven't seen it since...
I was going to use damask but then decided it had been done too many times around here. I decided to go with a monochromatic red theme with a few black & white accents.
I've never been to a wedding that had a damask theme, but I don't go to tons of weddings. Haven't seen as much of it around online...I was never a huge fan, though.
DAMASK IS STILL ROARING ACROSS THE COUNTRY.
I am getting requests for damask from all parts of the country and I am having difficulties trying to keep up with the demand. Another HOT trend I found for 2010 is ZEBRA print mixed with tiffany and also Zebra with fuchsia is hot, too!
I think Damask is slowly starting to fade... however I think it has opened the doors for other prints to make their way in as a part of a theme.
i've never seen it at a wedding- i'm in the tampa, fl. area. but i think it's very pretty, i'd like to see it.
Call me crazy, but I don't even know what a damask is! *blush* Can someone explain?
I guess this means it ISN'T popular in my area(s), although maybe I've seen one and didn't know what it is!
@Farmersdaughter - here is damask
I have a friend doing damask and purple for a may wedding this year! So I think it is still around I think it is just fading in online trends!
I am an event designer and several of my brides are going with the damask print (In in Louisiana). My linen friendor is ALWAYS getting requests for it, but I do think that Louisiana is slightly behind the other trends.
Thank you! I feel silly but I'm glad I know what yall are talking about =)
I've never seen it in the weddings I've been to in Oregon, Idaho, Indiana, and North Carolina.
My feeling is that damask is too classic and beautiful (plus there are so many variations of it) to ever completely fade out of fashion. What I do think will happen is that the preference for black & white damask will change to softer, subtler color combinations.
One of our brides recently ordered puzzles designed for black and white damask with an apple green accent. She is from Texas.
I think damask is still popular and agree w/the other bee that it has opened the floodgates for other wedding styles and patterns to arise! Good for damask! Sparkin' bridal creativity everywhere!
We've got damask table runners, and I've seen so many full-blown damask weddings online that I find myself feeling like we're using it wrong by only having it in one place. I don't want a full-blown damask wedding though, but I love these table runners! (They're just our colors, and were a fantastic deal.)
i said this in another 'damask' thread and i'll say it again here: i never had any idea that damask was a trend, or a pattern used on invites, etc. i always just knew it as a certain type of elegant fabric weave (no particular pattern required, just the proper weaving process) until i came here and saw all these 'damask brides'. is this like a recent trend or something?
I coordinate events for a hotel, and although I see damask everywhere online, I don't ever see it in person. Our colors are ivory, black, and champagne, and we are using touches of it (ribbons on the bridesmaids bouquets, etc.)
I'm in Texas and I am using Damask and pale pink. Our wedding and reception is at a Historic Victorian House....so it goes. ;) I am seeing it in stores more here..of course...now that I am a month and a half out and have everything I need!
My sister is a damask bride. I think it's really nice when used sparingly. She is doing table runners, invites, runner, and perhaps the ribbons on the wedding party bouquets. Her colors are black, white, and yellow.
HI Bees! Brides and others!!
I can end your debate...
I watched the newest PLATINUM WEDDINGS show and it was a damask wedding. Also, the newest GET MARRIED show was a damask wedding. Both in the same week! I think damask weddings are here to stay because damask has been around for many years.
I don't know about weddings, but my BF mentioned the other day that he wants a study one day with cloth damask wall paper. Only he didn't know what the name of the pattern was, and I did my best to not let on that I'm wedding crazy by saying the pattern too quickly. hehe
i love damask patterns. I live in NYC and won't be using them at my wedding, but I think they're very classic and classy!
Im doing damask and know tons of brides who also do damask.
Go to weddingbycolor.com under tags look at damask. You can find all the damask brides on there.
My fam never heard of it till me. But its allllll over Target, Pier 1, Bath & Body etc.
Farmersdaughter I had no idea what Damask was either until just this moment. I still don't know what "FI" is when I see it in posts either.
That pattern is really pretty though.
Where I'm from, there's no way people are using it as often. I think it was very, very saturated back in 08/09 and now the blogs/wedding mags are past it, so people see other trends and grab onto those instead.
I think it's pretty, but I too think it's overused, plus so difficult to get the right pattern going through your whole wedding.
I really liked damask 7 or 8 years ago before it blew up and I saw it everywhere on every single thing. I think it's overused, which unfortunately has caused me to not like it as much.
I don't think damask is ever going to "fade away". It might get put on the "not hot" lists in wedding magazines and there may end up being fewer brides using it because it won't be something that they consider for their wedding but there'll always be a wedding somewhere that'll have damask in it - but it might not always be a "trendy" thing to do depending on what the wedding fat cats decide to tell us! :)
I started laughing when I saw this post! :)
I am using damask and I have to say I love it. I'm only using it as a runner in my black, white and apple green wedding but I love the elegance of it. I have been to one other wedding that had it.
I think it's going to be around for a long time...umm it's already been around for 100's of years. I don't think that is a fad. :)
I've never seen it in person in NYC. I think its so overdone online that brides here tend to stay away from it, kind of like pink/brown or blue/brown IMHO.
Turquoise and Chocolate - Does anyone like this combo?

Another "Platinum Weddings" show did a fabulous damask wedding! Who was it that thought damask has faded? Damask will be around for a while longer. Brides are getting very creative with their damask decor.
I think classic damask is always going to be a fabric found within weddings. By classic, I'm refering to damask which is tone on tone... The dramatic version of black and white or the example of turquoise and brown are a little trendy. I like them, but I don't know that the dramatic version is going to be as long lasting. (Of course, I just happen to love classic damask!)
i'm an Ikat bride. I haven't seen it much in weddings but it has been very popular in home decor and fashion the past 3 or 4 years.
I can see damask staying popular in the south for awhile-it has a feel that goes with many southern weddings.
I've seen pictures on Facebook of 3 (old) friends' weddings using damask in just the past month. I'm in Northern California.
I'm using it...(I guess I'm behind the times...since it was Big in '08) It's a classic look, and as long as you don't over-do it...I think that it looks streamlined and clean. With a P-O-P of color...you can take it far. I live in Central Florida, and have been to a ton of weddings in the past few years, and have yet to see Damask in any of the weddings that I have attended. So...we will see how it goes...my fiancee' is planning the wedding and he loves the idea...(which was my only request) he has been doing everything else...I just have to show up. :-) Thank g-d. (I would have rather have eloped...) 
I'm in Northern California also and have never been to a damask wedding, and I have been to ALOT of weddings!

As many of you know I create items for weddings. There for about 3 or 4 months everything was centered around damask patterns/color combos. I have noticed a downtrend in requests for damask items lately and I wondered if it was started to fade out and if so in just certain areas or is it still hot in your area? If you reply with a yes or no can you just give me a rough geo area of the country or state. I need to stay on top of trends and often read this board to do so. Here is KY things peak about a year after the east coast and about a year before the deap south. Satisfy my curosity please, lol.
