So today I realized that we need linens on the tables. lol! And I need MAJOR help! We need linens for:
3 72" rounds
5 60" rounds
2 half rounds
2 8' banquets
2 6' banquets
We're not doing chair covers. Our "colors" are mostly neutral and white/ivory with pops of color in the accents in cool colors (blues and green with some pale pinks in the bouquets probably). I have a few options.
I could do a light brown/beige tablecloth with a white lace runner. This is my favorite idea, but probably the most expensive.
I could do white or ivory tablecloths with burlap runners tied at the end like this (except everything on the rounds):
The only thing is I have no idea how to get burlap table runners like that.
I could do the light brown/beige tablecloths and no runner and put a doilie at each place setting like this:
The only thing is that it's a buffet so the plates, silverware, and napkins would be by the food and the doilies would be paper. Plus is that this would be the cheapest so that would be awesome.
The centerpieces will be kind of like this:
except not. lol The glass won't be over the top, it will be holding the stuff. And the "stuff" will be fresh, real fescue grass with small white flowers (think fabric baby's breath) in the center. Around the outisde will be candles (some wrapped in paper doilies and some not) and the table numbers will be small picture frames that I paint with chalkboard paint and write on.
Sooo... help? Also we will be buying these and reselling since the price of renting is incredible.
ETA: As if there's not enough info. =P We'll only be doing the "special" thing (runners or doilies) to the tables people will eat at. The cake table, DJ tables, and catering tables will be whatever we use for the tablecloths. (That would be one half round and all of the banquet tables.)
