Wedding is Nov of 2015 and will be black tie optional. All white/cream flowers in a hotel ballroom. Silver chivari chairs, silver place settings, white china, silver chargers. Currently using basic white hotel linens. Is it worth looking into linen upgrades? Suggestions on what to look at?
Thoughts on round or square chargers/plates?
Re: Upgrade table linens?
I won't get into the black tie optional thing, but I suggest searching for past threads about it.
1) Black Tie Optional isn't actually a thing, as others have said. Black Tie is designated by the event, not the dress code. Your event either is Black Tie or it is not.
2) Regardless of whether or not it's going on your invitations, you shouldn't tell your guests how to dress (unless you actually are having a Black Tie event).
