what color tablecloths did you/are you having?

[Glorydaz]

in all the bridal magazines, the majority seems to be all white. I was going to go with black underskirt, white top (double layer) with black napkins but now I don't know! my room colors are in the tan/cream family...

so what did all of you pick? different color napkins? single or double layer tablecloths?

I'm going with white linen tablecloths and champagne coloured napkins - hopefully it will look good!

I think a black underskirt might look wonderfully dramatic on a table!

We were thinking of going with the white table linens to keep costs down a bit, and going with black napkins and a black sash on the chairs. Another option we were thinking of was a black overlay tablecloth on top of the white one, then going with the white napkins and still the black sashes on the chairs.

I'm using white table cloths. Pink satin runners (my Grandma made them) and black napkins? or pink

I think that a black underskirt would look really good! ...and with the black napkins too! I say go for it!

I sewed my own napkins out of funky colored fabric, and made them different on either side of the napkin. I had planned on putting our initials on the napkins, or at least the date of the wedding...but I never got around to doing it.

We're having our reception at the french pavilion. I chose black linens with an ivory overlay and black napkins. I wanted something 2 tone and dramatic outside.

wow!! I LOVE your napkins!! my place charges $1 per person for a different color tablecloth...and different color napkins but I figure, what the hey - it's only $$ seriously, I just want an elegant but dramatic look..and 2 of our courses are being served on black plates so I think I have to go for it!

looking at your napkins though....wow!! awesome

We did white underneath with a sheer gold overlay on top!! It was gorgeous!

 

[storzo]

We did just what you're thinking, only we used deep purple (our wedding color). Looked really good.

I think black & white always looks elegant!
We had a single chocolate table cloth that had a pattern to it with satin chapagne napkins and beaded/jeweled napkin rings with hints of silver and gold. I really liked how it came out.

Does anyone know the cost of the linens? I would love to know.

 

[Moonpie]

glorydaz, and DisneyFairy19, thank you for the sweet compliments!

Did you know that making your own napkins can cost more than just buying them? It must have been the cost of the fabric I bought (about $8.50 a yard, and I bought over ten yards of each fabric) and that each napkin required two different fabrics ....so I recommend that if you can find a napkin you like that's already made for you...go for it!

We are doing ivory linens with a deep pink/rose sheer overlay and silver napkins 9these may be cut for budget reasons though )

I say do whatever you want and don't follow those mags too much- nothing is a rule anymore except that you create the day of your dreams

We're sticking with the white tablecloth, so I can't help there, but the napkins are anywhere from $1 for a colored cotton napkin to about $3.50 for some more ornate fabrics.

I was very plain on the linens - Ivory and then we did the kiwi/strawberry chair bows- we had a punch of color with the flowers and the table names - we also had seas shells and marbles on the table - but I wanted everything to be kind of pale and soft -

My thing was if I had more money to spend on linens I may
have added more color but there were other things I wanted to spend
$$$ on - so everyone is different- I used the unity candle as decoration
on my - I told them not to re light it because they charge you for a
hurricane - no open flames....
