Summary – The wedding tablecloths form an important part of your wedding reception décor. You could go for tablecloths of different materials such as cotton,silk,satin,organza,or even layered. Each has its pros and cons.
When you make arrangements for your wedding you have to think of everything;equally important is the matter of wedding tablecloths. It is your special day,the once in a life time occasion and you would not want it to be anything but exceptional. The tablecloths that you choose should match your theme,should look good individually and yet should be durable as well since you wouldn’t want it to get spoiled during the course of the wedding party. You could select from –
1.Cotton – Cotton would of course be the most inexpensive choice when it comes to wedding tablecloths and would also probably be the most comfortable one. The cotton can look good,sophisticated,durable,and yet inviting;all of which qualities you would need in your tablecloth. Moreover,you could get cotton tablecloths in a great variety of colors and designs. If you use flower arrangements and laces and tassels to beautify the whole table setup,then the results would be breathtaking.
2.Silk – Of course when you think of luxury,nothing could beat silk. And who doesn’t want their wedding tablecloths to look luxurious. The difficulty with silk would be that it won’t be as comfortable as cotton (silk may even have a tendency to be slippery) and will certainly not be as durable. Your guests would need to be careful to make it last. And it is quite expensive.
3.Satin – Those who want luxury but do not want to go for the slippery beauty of silk can go for satin. It would be thick and more accommodative than silk and would have a glossy sheen just like silk. The satin wedding tablecloths would look royal,yet would have some of the comfort that cotton offers.
4.Sheer Materials – Sheer materials like organza look stylish but would go better if they are combined to form layered wedding tablecloths. If the underlying table finish itself is good then also sheer materials would look good. One thing to note is that these materials are rather difficult to manage and have a tendency to get damaged.
5.Layered Tablecloths – In this case you would be using two tablecloths,one over the other. You could either use two wedding tablecloths of the same material in contrasting colors arranged to make up a pattern or you could go for a tablecloth with embroidery or design as the first layer with a layer of organza or any other sheer material covering it. The effects would be wonderful in both cases.
