Table linens!?

Ok this is a new one for me... On your tables what color table linens did you have? Was/is your tablecloth white or match one of your wedding colors? My aunt just offered to make my table linens (she%26#039;s very talented) and she asked if I want white, silver, or lilac (the colors)... I%26#039;ve never thought about that, I always just assumed white but now that the question is there I don%26#039;t know. I could do white table clothes with lilac napkins...or lilac with silver napkins, or silver with white and lilac napkins now that%26#039;s a whole new world opened to me haha so I want to know who%26#039;s had white tablecloths, have any of you had colored ones?

Table linens!?
The answer is you can use any color that you want or even a combination of colors...for example, white table cloths with lilac or silver runners, etc. You can even alternate and do every other table in a different color. You may also choose to do all the guest tables in lilac with silver runners and the bride/groom and attendants table in white with lilac or silver runners! If you%26#039;re flowers and/or candles are white, then you may want to use the lilac and silver colors so that the flowers and candles stand out more!!
Reply:What color/kind of flowers? If you have white roses go with lilac table cloths. If you have lilacs, go with white or silver table cloths. Better yet, ask your Aunt she sounds like she knows what shes doing.
Reply:White would look best. Keep in mind that these are tablecloths people stare at while they%26#039;re eating. Colors like burgundy look great for tablecloths but lilac and silver are not that appetizing.
Reply:we are using solid black table covers since our colors are black and white. the centerpiece is a 24 inch tall empire vase filled with fresh white flowers. our napkins will be in white and we considereing doing white slip covers with a black sash or vice versa.
Reply:I say you should use a lilac table cloth with a white overlay, use lilac napkins tied with silver ribbons.





though these look nice too:

Reply:My wedding colors were white green and purple. White cloths with alternating green and purple napkins. The linens were supplied by the venue so there wasn%26#039;t much of a choice for the cloths.





If I were you I think I%26#039;d try to find a print in at least 2 of your colors. You will probably have better luck with only 2 but you may get lucky and find all 3. Whichever color is the least popular in the print is what I would use to accent your table with - napkins, flowers, candles, whatever you use. For example if you find lilac and silver, use white on top. If you find lilac and white with a touch of silver, use the silver as your accent. Using prints not only can be a richer look, but it helps with that %26#039;which color%26#039; problem.





Another thought would be to use a lilac lace over the white cloths and then use the silver accents. http://www.hancockfabrics.com/shopping/p...
Reply:my best friend just had her wedding last sat and she had burgandy tablecloths with a pink organza overlay on top
Reply:our wedding colors were black and green.





each table had either a white or black table cloth and then contrasting napkins which were tied with a green ribbon. I personally think that any color on the actual tablecloth is too much.





i have a picture to post, but I cannot post links today for whatever reason.
Reply:We had white table cloths. You could put a piece of lavender fabric under the white rose center pieces. You could also use lavender or silver napkins to add color to the table.
Reply:I would use white table clothes and then have small square ones made in lilac to go in the center with the centerpieces on top of that.
Reply:our table cloths are going to match our colors. but we are doing seat colors and i put a brown sash around them instead of the gold that is one of our colors. i would have them match or stay in the same family but it is up to you it is your day!!
