Selecting Wedding Table Linens for Your Reception
June 5th, 2009Today’s bride-to-be has many decisions to make about her wedding and reception. There is one decision that you will be faced with that may seem insignificant, but in actuality, will establish the tone of your whole reception. This decision is in regards to the sort of table linens you are going to use.
Most people pick out colored table linens that match the color of their wedding. Others choose to utilize theme printed table linens. This is an important decision, regardless of which alternative you prefer.
One of the simplest ways to help you make your decision about the table linens you will use is to buy or rent table linens from an internet wholesaler. They make it simple for you to match the 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 produce the table linens. The wedding budget will be easier to adhere to if you utilize a wholesaler because of the prices they offer.
A word of caution: Pick a wholesale company that specializes in different types of table linen which include tablecloths, napkins, place mats, chair coverings and table skirts. If you fill all your table linen needs from the same supplier you can be sure that the colors and fabrics of the table linen products complement each other.
Do you want to use table linens with a theme for your wedding but don’t know where to start? Think about this. As a couple, you most likely share a particular hobby or interest that can be represented on the print of a themed table linen. Maybe you love golfing, hunting or boating. Look at table linens with a design such as Tee Time, Camo or Anchors Away. A wedding should be unique and reflect who you are. Allow your imagination to go wild.
If you want a more romantic setting, use candle light along 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 on top of a solid color polyester tablecloth. Complement the look with coordinating napkins, place mats, table skirts and chair covers. Add sparkle to the wedding reception by using table linens made from Tissue Lame, Dazzle or Twinkle. The picks are truely endless.
When it comes to selecting the ideal table linens for your wedding reception it really comes down to personal style and taste. Your wedding reception will be one that guests recollect for years to come.
