Choosing Your Wedding Table Linens
Today’s bride-to-be has umpteen decisions to make about her wedding and reception. One of these decisions can set the spirit for your entire wedding reception. This decision is in regards to the sort of table linens you plan to use.
Matching colored table linens to the color used in the wedding is one of the most popular ways people use them. Some decide to use theme printed table linens. This is a big decision, regardless of what alternative you select.
One of the simplest ways to help you determine which table linens you plan to use is to buy or rent table linens from an internet wholesaler. They make it easy for you to match the wedding reception table linens to the color or theme of the wedding because they can provide you with sample fabric swatches of the colors and fabrics used to produce the table linens. The wedding budget will be easier to stick to if you use a wholesale company because of the costs they offer.
A word of caution: Pick a wholesaler that specializes in different types of table linen which include tablecloths, napkins, place mats, chair coverings and table skirting. If you fill all your table linen needs from the same supplier you ensure that the colors and fabrics of each linen product complement one another.
Don’t know where to start when it comes to picking a theme for your wedding and then selecting table linens for that theme? Think about this. The print on themed table linens can represent a specific hobby or interest that you enjoy as a couple. Maybe you love boating, golfing or Nascar. Think about table linens with a design like Anchors Away, Tee Time or a Racing Check. Nobody ever said every wedding had to be alike. Use your imagination.
For a romantic setting, use candle light along with satin table linens, lace table linens or fine table linens made from a fanciful fabric like Cascade, Monique or Pintuck. Use a sheer fabric like Organza set over top a solid colored polyester tablecloth to create a layered look to the wedding tablecloths. Use coordinating napkins, place mats, table skirting and chair coverings to complement the look. Select fabrics like Dazzle, Twinkle or Tissue Lame for your table linens. They will add sparkle to any reception. The picks are truely unlimited.
When it comes to choosing the perfect table linens for your wedding reception it really comes down to an individual’s style and taste. Your reception will be one that guests think back on for years to come.
