Our venue includes white, floor length table linens. At first, I thought that these were sufficient as a part of our wedding day décor. Hey, free is nice, right???
But then, I discovered pintuck…and it has gone all downhill from that point.
I love that the pintuck linens are textured, yet still solid. The satin sheen gives the tablecloths such a rich and elegant look, without being too busy. I am really partial to implementing green pintuck tablecloths or runners. I personally love the celery color (the first picture below). I think that the light green will blend very well with the venue, as well as provide some softness in comparison to stark white tablecloths. And, the lighter green will possibly be less distracting than a bright lime green hue (the second picture), which might be overpowering.
But, what I am cringing over? The price. These lovelies ring in at over $30 a tablecloth for a rental. So, I ask…is it worth the splurge? I’m weighing some of the pro’s and con’s. If I am going to splurge on a décor item, I want to make sure that it provides maximum impact. In this case, I think it might be a worthy item to splurge on, since the tables will be one of the main focal points of the reception! I am going to keep the florals to a minimum on the tables, so having linens that make a statement will be a tremendous help in the overall effect at the event.
So…did you splurge on table linens for your reception? Were any of you lucky enough to have venues with linen rental included?
I love the look of pintuck tablecloths. I'm thinking the green might be too much though. Maybe do white tablecloths with pintuck runners.
ReplyDeleteif you have the money...do it...!
ReplyDeleteooh, this is a tough one! What would you have to give up if you splurged on this?
ReplyDeletecould you find the fabric and make runners to go down the middle of the white tableclothe? they would only need to be 1.5 feet across or so and you'd get the same punch of color
