Linens N Things

I recently met with my wedding planner, reception venue coordinator and caterer for a three hour marathon planning session, which finally provided me with a clear picture of the reception!

One of the first things we decided on was linens. My reception venue works with BBJ Linen. I highly recommend checking out their selection and website, they have thousands of gorgeous, modern, traditional and even thematic choices and tons of inspirational photos.

We decided to go with two different linen choices: the Black Floral Silhouette and Black Classic. Each linen will go to the floor.



The Floral Silhouette will be used on the Hi-boy tables with a Lime Lamour Chair Tie wrapped around the table leg a la this photo:



Additionally, there will be three regular (60 inch round) tables covered with the Floral Silhouette and Lime Lamour Chair Tie used as a table runner scattered amongst the regular tables to add some interest.
The remainder of the regular tables will be covered in a black cost-effective polyester with a Lime Lamour table runner. According to my wedding planner, who has worked with Preston Bailey, table runners are the NEXT BIG THING! You heard it here first!

My cake table will be covered with White Classic and a Silver Sparkle overlay.



The Groom’s cake (we’re southern…it’s required by law or something) will have a simple black polyester linen without the Lime Lamour table runner because it would probably clash with his golf themed cake.

What do you think of our linen selection? What are you planning to use? What do you think is the next big thing in wedding table linens?
