Not traditionally top of any couple's wedding planning list, tablecloths, believe it or not, are becoming quite the big deal for wedding design. A splash of colour and a great way to make a design statement, they add a lot to any reception room. It goes hand in hand with the fact that bold graphic patterns like stripes, chevron, ikat, floral, toile and paisley are all over weddings these days. We've seen them in cakes and wedding stationery to bridesmaids dresses and wedding decor, the print trend is here to stay. So the next frontier is adding pretty print and pattern wedding tablecloths and table runners and lifting a room from meh to wow. From striking modern prints to classic floral designs, we have fallen head over heels for this wow-factor trend and we bet you will too...
Bright and Bold
Make a statement with bright and bold linens such as striking stripes and modern geometric prints in punchy tones of pink, purple, blue and even black. In fact, we love this trend so much we used a bold black and white striped table runner in our Monochrome, Gold & Pink Winter Wedding Table Inspiration last year. Not sure about the overall look but love the idea? Why not try bringing in print fabrics through table runners or napkins or even just on your cake or dessert table?

Soft and Subtle
Looking for something with a more romantic look? Then choose table linens in more classic patterns like florals and paisleys in muted metallic or pastel tones. Create your own table cloths by buying fabric in your favourite patterns or, if you love the vintage look, raid Granny's cupboard for beautiful floral printed linens.
