Choosing Your Perfect Wedding Table Linens!

There are so many pretty decor idea's, 

how does a couple decide what to choose? 

Today we may make your decision a bit harder 

                              because our topic today is Wedding Linens!
 

Many hotels, halls, and major reception venues offer basic white linens with your room rental. There is nothing wrong at all with using what is offered. If you can, spice it up if you like with table runners, color napkins, overlays or spend the money you saved on chair covers which most do not offer. If offered, don't automatically reject the free linens, you can invest the money you save in another area!

 

Many couples choose to go with the matte polyester style linens, but if you like a shiner look choose the satin or silk! In most event rentals shops the cost is equal to the polyester style so you can choose whether you like the look of matte or shiny!

 

One of our favorite linens to use through-out a wedding reception is the Pintuck Style! It adds a bit of texture to the table and gives a since of luxury without having the up cost of renting couture linens! They are a bit pricier than the standard polyester or satin, but are still affordable and look stunning in most settings!

  

A very popular Linen style used is the Crinkle Satin! It looks great on all style tables and plus you don't have to worry about any of those annoying wrinkles!

  

Now that we have explored the most popular linens styles used, in most cases the couture style linens are used for cake tables, sweetheart tables and head tables. With that said, why not use Petal Style or Rosette full linens, toppers, or runners throughout your entire reception!

  

There are so many styles and patterns of Linens to choose from we could post and review for months, but our last style were exploring is sequins! Use it for the cake or if you're a sparkle girl, use it all over! It will cost quite a bit, but you can't beat the look!

What's On The Menu? Your Wedding Food!

Your Wedding FOOD

Lets open this topic up with a question, 

What foods are you thinking about serving at your wedding? 

We are discussing the cocktail hour, the most popular wedding food and how to tie in your catering with your wedding theme without it being too kitschy!

 

Lets start with the cocktail hour. Make your hour of pre mingling and social hour interesting by spicing it up with an ice bar, yes a full bar made of ice or shrimp bar made of ice. Forget about just throwing those appetizers over ice cubes when you can add to your decoration with functional ice art!

 

The Potato Bar! Everybody loves a potato bar, it's filling and you can put all your favorites atop. At your catering consultation think about putting a spin on yours and having a sweet potato bar with all the fixings, brown sugar, marshmallows, butter, caramel... The possibles are endless!

 

So you ask, how do you tie in my catering with our wedding theme without it being too kitschy? If it is a holiday theme, serve up its traditional foods like for Christmas wedding having a red velvet flavored wedding cake instead of the traditional white cake. Jazz up a thanksgiving theme with single serve cornish hens and dressing, serve up mini burgers and fries for cocktail hour for a July fourth theme and the list is endless!
