Specialty linens are a perfect way to transform a wedding or business reception room at a reasonable price. The influence of these décor items can have a dramatic impact on guests when they first walk into the room, leaving a lasting impression! That’s why table linens are a great place to start when choosing reception décor, since tables and chairs take up the largest space in the room.
Start by choosing linen colors that compliment and don’t clash with the room where the reception is being held. Pick a color pallet that coordinates with colors being used in invitations and other branding elements of the event. Tabletop décor can then be designed after the linen colors are selected.
Even though bright colors are trending this year, you can never go wrong with traditional neutral reception fabric colors: whites and ivories, and champagne. Plain and simple colors are easy to use in décor because they match just about everything! From the wide selection of fabrics, textures, and simple patterns, there should always be something that matches the tone you are trying to set. Splashes of color from up-lighting, a specialty chair, napkins, or chair covers and ties can bring all of the colors of the room together. A colorful centerpiece will also look great against the basic color!
Should you decide to go beyond basic neutrals, using colored linens can look just as amazing and are extremely popular! Color can dramatically affect the mood of any event! Stunning linens simply add pure elegance and pull your dream décor all together. In the end, trendy or not, it’s important to be creative and follow what best suits your personality and vision of your special event!
