Linens and Overlays

My venue provides linens, but only white ones. I think I want to just rent linens because the white looks a little boring to me.

So, I'm wondering what's the average I can look at spending on linens for 10-12 tables? And if you all have any recs, that would be appreciated, also.

Thanks!!!

    A friend recently looked for linen rentals and chose Acme Rental. Here's a link: http://www.acmerental.net/gallery_tablechaircovers.htm

    Depends on the size, for square 54' they're $5.75, banquet 90x156' $18.50, etc. This is for solid colors. You can view their prices online, last tab on the right of their website.


    I've also heard Elegant Linens is a good vendor: here are the prices:
    Rectangular cotton/poly floor length to fit 6 & 8 ft. table - $16.00, Rectangular cotton/poly lap length to fit 6 & 8 ft. table - $ 10.00, etc. (http://elegantlinens.org/Table.htm)

    To help save some $$$, just rent some overlays.  Just make sure the venue IS providing you with full length table linens.

    im using http://www.distinctivedetails.com/   I have 30 tables plus cake table and some cocktail tables all for under 600.  I'm sure for what you need it would be a lot cheaper.  From the hotel I am using http://www.overthetoplinen.com/  I get the chair covers for free though.  it's included in my package.

    We looked around and were able to find some on ebay that we bought for the same price we could've rented them...

    If you're interested in black tablecloths, I will be selling them (plus my black & ivory damask runners) after my wedding next weekend...I have twenty 120" rounds...

    Sorry, but I don't have pictures yet.  My wedding is this coming Saturday (so excited!) and I can email you pictures when I get back from our honeymoon, or ask my mom to do it while we're gone, if you want to give your email address to me. 

    They are made of Waverly Onyx Damask fabric (like this: <a href="http://www.waverly.com/products_information.php?id=670500&productType=1">http://www.waverly.com/products_information.php?id=670500&productType=1</a>).  I believe they are 12" x 72" runners.

    Let me know if you're still interested!
