As your wedding guests gather for your reception, they will soon need a place to sit. The cake cutting ceremony will take place, loved ones will toast to you and your partner’s happiness, and let’s not forget about that delicious wedding food. Your guests will be looking for their wedding seat, and it is likely that you will want to welcome them to a table with gorgeous décor.
For your tables to look beautiful and inviting, you will need to adorn them with the proper décor, and you can start with the table linens as they will be the staple for all of the other elements of your big day to come together. Here at Mountain House on Sunday River, we offer a gorgeous venue for your big day, and we want everything to be perfect for you, that is why we have gathered the top tips to help you choose the best linens for your wedding tables, so be sure to continue reading to discover more:
- What colors do you plan to use? The color of your table linens can be dependent on many different aspects: You could just choose your favorite colors, or, you could complement your wedding colors, contrast your wedding colors, incorporate elements of the current season into your big day…the possibilities are truly endless. Once you have decided which route you would like to take with your overall color scheme, choosing your linen colors will be much easier.
- What are your table needs? From quantity to style, your wedding table needs will greatly differ from other weddings, as your back day is unique and all its own. It is important to get a final tally for your wedding guests and take a look at your table shapes. However, do not forget to take into account your cake table, food table, Bride and groom table, and any other table that you will need for your wedding displays, as this will add to the quantity and style of linens you will need. It is also important that you do not underestimate your linen needs, as those poor tables missing a cloth will stick out like a sore thumb.
- What is your final décor choice? Finalizing your choice in décor is a crucial step in choosing your linens, but do not forget that you have other wedding décor that will accompany your table linens as well. Choosing linens that work with your wedding décor as a whole, rather than combat it, is a great way to bring a unified appearance to your venue. You can make a statement with your linens by contrasting them with simple centerpieces, however, if you would rather have your blooms be the star of the show, you can choose a linen that is simple and chic, allowing your flowers to shine. So, be sure to pay attention to the rest of your wedding décor when choosing your linens.
Your table linens are a huge part of your wedding décor, so it is important that you do not overlook them when planning your big day. Here at Mountain House on Sunday River, we are proud to supply you with a gorgeous venue, and we want to create your wedding to become a beautiful success.
