Luxurious Linens

When looking at the décor for your reception, a major decision will be what to do about linens. Linens are fabric treatments including tablecloths and table overlays, napkins, chair covers, wall and backdrop draping. Look at the overall feel you want for your reception. A fun-filled family reception might be best served with paper tablecloths and crayons for doodling. A more elegant affair would be best served with linen tablecloths and napkins. Chair treatments can make a huge difference in the overall look of your reception. Look at the attached pictures for before and after looks with fabric covers. Many reception venues and caterers include basic white linens and sometime colored napkins in the packages with food. When looking at specialty fabrics, overlays or chair covers, make sure to check pricing with local décor specialists to get the best value for your money. On-line “deals” on linens may sound great but when they come with permanent wrinkles or stains, you have more of a nightmare than a dream come true.

Another budget saver can be using specialty fabrics and tablecloths on cake table, head table and gift table. This can give your event an upscale look without breaking the bank. Wall and backdrop draping can also cover up undesirable parts of the reception hall and give you a clean look for pictures. Again hiring a wedding planner/décor specialist can help you coordinate the overall look and your reception can be a “one of a kind” event.
