White linens are more commonly used for weddings because of their clean lines and blank canvas, but we love the idea of adding some color or texture. Try mixing things up by us- ing an array of shades within your color scheme, adding a printed ta- ble runner across white linens, or placing colorful, folded napkins on each plate! Dressing your chairs in covers or sash- es will create a more unified look and a touch of elegance. There are a vari- ety of ways to tie knots and sashes on chairs. After perusing through rental warehouses or online galleries, ask your rental company if they’ll be setting up the linens or if they can teach you how to properly exe- cute the look! Finally, well-placed drapes can create an ethereal or elegant atmosphere. A solid, opaque linen is the perfect backdrop for a cake display, but somewhat sheer drapes tied to wooden pil- lars will add an effortlessly chic look to your venue. Your guests will spend a lot of time at their tables. Make sure they have something worth looking at by choos- ing lovely linens! DECOR
