Today’s bride-to-be has a number of decisions to make regarding her wedding and reception. There is one decision that you will have to make that might seem minor, but in reality, can set the feel of your whole wedding reception. This decision is in regards to which table linens you plan to use.
Most people pick out colored table linens that match the color of their wedding. Another alternative is to consider the theme of the wedding and use theme printed table linens. Whichever your choice may be, this is a big decision to make.
One of the easiest ways to help you decide about the 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 table linens to the color or theme of the wedding because they can provide you with sample cloth swatches of the colors and fabrics used to make the table linens. Many couples prefer to utilize these wholesale companies because the prices can be much easier on the wedding budget.
A word of caution: Pick a wholesaler that specializes in different types of table linen which include tablecloths, napkins, placemats, chair coverings and table skirts. This will permit you to fill all your table linen needs from the same supplier and, more importantly, you can be sure that the colors and fabrics you choose for each type of linen product will complement each other.
Don’t know how to begin when it comes to picking a theme for your wedding and then picking table linens for that theme? Consider this. The print on themed table linens might symbolize a special hobby or interest that you share as a couple. Maybe you love boating, golfing or Nascar. Think about table linens with a pattern like Anchors Away, Tee Time or a Racing Check. A wedding should be special and a reflection of you. Allow your imagination to run wild.
For a romantic setting, use candle light in conjunction with lace table linens, satin table linens or fine table linens made from a fancy fabric such as Cascade, Monique or Pintuck. Think about layering your wedding tablecloths with a sheer cloth such as Organza atop a solid colored polyester tablecloth. Finish the look with coordinating napkins, placemats, table skirting and chair covers. Add sparkle to the reception by using table linens made from Twinkle, Tissue Lame or Dazzle. The selections are truely endless.
When it comes to choosing the ideal table linens for your wedding reception it really comes down to personal style and taste. With a bit of imagination, you’ll create a wedding reception that people will think back on for years to come.
