The table linens you choose for your special event or wedding can greatly enhance the look of your event space. While selecting table linens can be over-whelming, it doesn’t have to be. Start first by considering the following. What is your theme? What are your colors? Are you a fan of designs and patterns? Do you prefer shiny, sheer or a more matted (less shiny more natural) look? What’s your budget? If cost is a concern and your venue provides basic linens, consider going with an overlay as they are less costly and can provide an interesting contrast. Get napkins and maybe a chair tie to compliment the table linen.
Also, when making your selection, consider your event space décor. You want a table design that works with other aspects of the room such as the wall decorations and even the flooring.
See Your Selection in Action
It’s really difficult to capture the true essence of a table design with a swatch. Therefore, require that your linen rental company set-up a display at their office. At Kennique, we also provide an opportunity for our clients to request a display at their actual event venue – which gives more of a complete picture of how it all will come together. While this is not standard for all linen rental companies, you should be able to request it.
So embrace the variety, but don’t let it overwhelm you. Rely on your linen rental company, and let them help you navigate throughout the beautiful world of fine linens.
Happy Planning!
