5 Simple Ways to Style Wedding Linen for Maximum Impact

Much to everyone's surprise, white is not the only available colour for your function venue decorations. There are design ideas and tons of options to keep your celebration from just being plain white with your wedding linen. Here, at Wedding Superstore, we give you a list of five (5) simple ways to add better visual interest to your event. For instance, French tablecloths, available in cotton or stain-resistant coated materials, can add a touch of elegance and practicality to your decor.

#1 Texture is important

Choose the correct fabric for your tablecloths. In this category, polyester would probably win by unanimous vote. Polyester has been the ultimate go-to wedding linen for tableclovers for years. However, give other fabrics a chance, like satin, tulle, or even sequined type linens. You might surprise yourself with the immaculate visual dimension they can render your tables, chairs, napkins, and drapings. Spun Polyester tablecloths, in particular, offer a premium feel and a linen-like texture, making them a sophisticated choice for any event.

#2 Pop of colour

A pop of colour can make or break your visual design aesthetic. That is why you cannot just throw colours out there and wish for them to look good. Dealing with colours has to be intentional with a design perspective in place. A pop of colour in your all-white wedding creates moments, such as the pinks, reds, and blues. However, should you dare to go bolder? Please, don't stop yourself from adding some yellow, orange, and turquoise hues into your table napkins, tablecloths, or table runners. Don't forget, it isn't just linen that adds colour, we also have a great range of artificial flowers; from bouquets and stems to garlands.

#3 Play on prints

Weddings are fun and exciting. And what better way to pump up the fun factor than by adding prints! Do not get intimidated by mixing patterns and matching prints-on-prints. They can be your best friends on the most important day of your life. Some of the best matching ideas that never go out of style would be stripes and safari prints, contrasting floral patterns, and similar prints with different colours. For a polished look, consider fitted tablecloths, which are designed to fit specific table sizes perfectly, ensuring a neat and tailored appearance.

#4 Major on drapings and table skirting

Drapings make a great statement in any type of event, especially weddings. It can transform your venue into a whole new experience for you and your guests. Drapings create layers to your design, may that be on your ceiling, along the pathway, or columns. Throwing in some colours and textures into your drapery can instantly elevate your design from plain ole white to a whimsical daydream. May that be tulle, sheer, or organza in yellow, black, or burgundy, explore the creativity that goes with drapery.

#5 Lighting is everything for your dining room

Lighting changes everything. It creates a huge impact and sets the mood. Lighting is a must for any event, more so corporate events — as it is a great way to breathe life into your venue. One way to set up great lighting and add dimension to your function venue is to display net curtain lights.

They look great in photos as backdrops too.
