‘Tis The Wedding Season – Table Linen Ideas for Hosting Your DIY Wedding

Planning a DIY wedding is an exciting and rewarding endeavor, allowing couples to infuse their special day with personal touches and creativity. When it comes to setting the perfect scene for the reception, one element that should not be overlooked is table linen. At Garnier-Thiebaut USA, we believe that choosing the right table linen can enhance the overall aesthetic, create a sense of elegance, and tie together the theme and color scheme of the wedding. Whether you prefer a classic and timeless look or a vibrant and eclectic atmosphere, selecting the ideal tablecloth, table runner, placemat, and napkin can transform your wedding reception into a beautiful and memorable event.

The Classics

When it comes to creating an elegant and timeless ambiance for your wedding reception, nothing compares to the allure of classic, traditional table linen. Our Persina Dore Jacquard Tablecloth, for example, is made from 100% cotton featuring a gold sheen to make the details pop out to the eye and features our green sweet stain-resistant treatment which protects the linen from stains from your reception dinner while maintaining the soft look and feel. The jade, 100% cotton Mille Guipures Jade Jacquard Tablecloth, with its discreet lace floral pattern on the linen, is another great option for a wedding that wants to provide an elegant experience for the guests.  The Mille Soleils Nuage Jacquard Tablecloth also brings a simple, classic feel to your DIY wedding with its cotton-linen blend, the rising, floating cloud pattern which is prominently featured on the fabric, and the green sweet stain-resistant treatment which makes the fabric still soft to the touch like making it stain resistant.

In The Garden or by The Sea

Transforming your wedding reception into a whimsical garden party or an enchanting beachside retreat begins with the choice of printed table linen, setting the stage for a truly immersive and unforgettable experience. Perfect for your beach wedding, the printed Futuna Arc-En-Ciel Tablecloth features colorful, tropical fish and coral on 100% organic cotton fabric that would pop out among the sand. The appropriately named Citrons De Menton Romance Tablecloth, with its printed lush flowers and lemon citrus fruits, is a great 100% linen, prewashed option that is ideal for outdoor weddings surrounded by gardens all around. If the surrounding garden is more of a tropical affair, consider the Escales Paradis Tablecloth, featuring joyful, exotic flowers and birds printed on prewashed, cotton-linen blend fabric.

For the Bold and Unconventional

For those seeking to infuse their wedding reception with a bold and vibrant atmosphere, embracing colorful and unconventional table linen is a captivating way to make a statement. Starting with the Mille Arizona Pampa Jacquard Tablecloth, this artistic, striped design made from 100% cotton is a great way to have a bit of causal, fun with friends and family during the reception, and the tablecloth itself is coated cotton which means easy cleaning from any stains or messes. Another unique option, especially for any lovers of pink, is the Geraniums Rose Jacquard Tablecloth, which features both beautiful florals on the linen and the green sweet stain-resistant treatment incorporated in the fabric. Our final recommendation, especially for the fans of the dramatic, is our Orchidees Bordeaux Jacquard Tablecloth, which features the beauty of orchids woven into 100%, red cotton fabric and our stain-resistant, green sweet treatment.

Selecting the ideal table linen for your DIY wedding is a significant decision that can greatly impact the overall ambiance and visual appeal of your reception. By carefully considering factors such as color, fabric, pattern, and stain resistance, you can create a cohesive and visually stunning setting that reflects your unique style and vision. Remember to take into account the theme, season, and mood of your wedding, ensuring that the table linen aligns harmoniously with the rest of your decor. With attention to detail and a touch of creativity, your chosen table linen from Garnier-Thiebaut USA will not only provide a beautiful backdrop for your guests' dining experience but also contribute to the lasting memories of your special day.
