Luxury Table Linens For Special Occasions

By Michelle Ellis


You can find so many ways to dress up a meal, and one of these is to add tablecloths, placemats, and cloth napkins to your place settings to create a very special effect. You will be so pleased with the results and will be inspired to add these luxury table linens to many more gatherings and celebrations in the future. The food you will prepare will look so inviting against this backdrop.

The napkins and tablecloths that adorn tables everywhere are usually made of cotton, linen, polyester, or a combination of fabrics. They can appear to be very neutral or of a patterned or textured material. What you choose will depend mostly on what there is available, your budget, the occasion that is being celebrated, and your own personal preferences.

These linens are perfect for all types of special occasions. They can dress up the presentation so much. Events such as weddings, showers, anniversaries, and birthdays can all benefit from these striking additions to your party decor. It is not only the guest seating areas that will benefit from these linens. Remember, buffet stations, sign-in areas, cake areas will look fantastic with the addition of both tablecloths and skirting.

And don't just use these for upscale occasions. Sometimes it is fun and pampering to use them "just because." A simple meal can really be jazzed up by adding tablecloths and cloth napkins. If you have beautiful china and flatware in a cabinet, never used, it is time to pull them out and start using them for everyday occasions. Use them as a reminder that every day is a reason to celebrate.

You can purchase or order tablecloths in so many shapes and sizes. The most-used shapes include rectangular, square, round, and oval cloths. Always measure your tables to be sure you get the right sizes. The most common sizes include 72-inch squares, 120-inch rounds, 85-inch squares, 90-inch rounds, and 104 by 60-inch rectangular styles. Consider having your tablecloths custom-sewn if they are an odd size or shape.

There are many types of specialty linens available. You can use a red-and-white check or burlap for a casual barbecue or picnic, a ruffled, floor-length cloth for weddings and baby showers, or a plain ivory satin cloth for a simple, upscale look. For even more options, top a 60-inch or 72-inch white, floor-length tablecloth with an overlay. This overlay can be a bright pattern, a solid black, a striped pattern, or any color that you choose. These overlays will provide you with so many interesting and unique options.

Purchase a book on napkin folds to really help bring your place settings alive. Some interesting folds include the candlestick fold, the bishop's hat, and a waterfall fold. There are also many unique holiday folds such as an Easter bunny, tuxedo, or poinsettia fold. These folds can be as simple or as intricate as you like.

There are many other unique elements that will help dress up your meal. These can include a centerpiece, elegant dishes, impressive flatware, chair covers with sashes, and maybe a runner. Strive to set up a well-balanced table that you can brag about. Begin with the basics of tablecloths and napkins and then add coordinating elements that will bring it up to the next level of perfection.
