White is a classic color for table linens. Many couples choose the very romantic look of a monochromatic white for all of their reception tables cloths, napkins, table runners, and china. This looks beautiful with white floral centerpieces and candles, and it will always be a traditional look that is soft and elegant.
However, there is no requirement to choose the white on white option when it comes to decorating for your wedding reception or special event. In fact, a white table cloth can be just the foundation of a great looking design or theme that highlights your wedding colors or the colors for any type of special event, holiday or celebration.
White With Patterns
Black and white events are very popular as fundraisers, dinner parties or for anniversaries and weddings. A white table cloth makes the perfect table cover to start adding the style.
To the white cloth, consider adding a chevron satin table runner in black and white. This adds not only a pattern but a change in texture to the table. This can be paired with chevron styles of napkins or a solid black napkin.
The same combination is possible with any other patterns and colors. Since white will go with anything, it is even a good combination with pastels, perfect for a summer daytime event.
White With Burlap
Adding a touch of casual with classic creates a great look for a rustic, country or western theme of the wedding. Try pairing a white table cloth with burlap as a table runner, table topper overlay or as a table skirt.
This is also a terrific option for any type of outdoor celebration. Add red or red checked napkins or combine burlap and red fabric table runners or overlays on different tables for an amazing look that is comfortable, casual but still elegant.
