We all want our wedding day to be remembered for the right reasons, and sometimes it’s the finer details that can make all the difference.
Unfortunately the finer details are the ones that can be easily overlooked, yet a little extra time spent in selecting what you require and making sure everything blends together seamlessly, especially when it comes to table linen, will be time well spent.
Wedding table linen may not necessarily be the first thing your guests will notice when they sit down at your [tag]wedding reception[/tag], but if it isn’t chosen with the table centerpiece in mind it may stick out for all the wrong reasons.
When choosing [tag]wedding table linen[/tag] your first consideration should be price. How much can you afford to spend? If you start searching for linen without having a fixed budget in mind, you’ll either spend more than you intend to or waste valuable time looking at linen that is out of your price range. Agree on a maximum price and stick to it. As an alternative, if you’re paying for most of the wedding yourselves and you’re really strapped for cash, is to allow it to be given to you as a wedding present.
Once you have a price range in mind, consider what color scheme you require at the reception. Classic white table linen can look a little too crisp and harsh; if you want something a little more subtle ivory or cream are good choices (cream table linen with cream pillar candles as part of the centerpiece looks wonderful).
For this reason it’s always wise to have an idea of how your centerpiece will look when choosing your wedding table linen. Can you coordinate colors to make your centerpiece look even more impressive?
Think about pastel colors, for example. If the flowers you are using for your [tag]table centerpiece[/tag] are a pastel shade, could you use that same shade for your table linen? A lighter, paler shade of linen can work very well if you scatter darker colored petals from your flowers across the table. It’s the small details that can make a big difference when pulling the whole theme together.
Finally, you should make sure when you decide on your wedding table linen that you can get napkins to match. Choosing a slightly different shade of napkin in the same material can work, but if your centerpiece is rather elaborate, contrasting napkins can make the table look too crowded.
Always remember the golden rule, simple and elegant will win over complicated designs every time.
