HELP! Table linens?! Which colors to choose!

Janae, on October 1, 2015 at 2:14 PM Posted in Style and Décor 0 13

Hi all! So my color scheme for my wedding is as follows:

Groom and Groomsmen- Medium Grey

Bridesmaids- Navy Blue (lace sheath dress)

Flower Girl- Blush Pink

Flowers & Centerpieces- Blush Pink

My venue is "industrial chic" (see pics).

Ok so my question is...table linens!! What colors? My mom said navy blue table linens would clash with the girls dresses. But then grey would clash with the groomsmen right? I originally thought navy blue table linen with blush pink linen napkins. Any ideas?

Thanks in advance Smiley smile

    How many bridesmaids do you have? Are they sitting at a head table or at individual tables? I honestly am not worried about bridesmaids "clashing". I haven't committed to 1 single shade of a color, so if they aren't "blending" into the table, it isn't a problem.

    I feel like since the bridesmaids are wearing lace dresses that you don't have to worry about "clashing" or "blending" as much, because the textures will be different! I love navy linens with the blush accents! However if you are really worried about clashing then I'd go with gray linens, all shades of gray blend nicely!

    I have 8 bridesmaids and they will be sitting at individual tables.

    LOL Cheryl...I agree! I hope they are all up dancing and not blending on the table haha!-Thanks!

    Lynnie...I thought the same thing since they are lace and the linens with probably be more silk in texture! Smiley smile

    I seriously would not worry about matching your table linens to people's clothes. There will be so many people in the room it won't matter at all.

    A lighter shade of grey would suit all attire and blend with the venue. I think navy would make the venue seem darker. Light grey with a navy charger and blush accents would be pretty.

    Charger, runner, whatever base you want to have... One day I'll get a hold of this is wedding jargon.

    I had white and various shades of gray linens and didn't think twice about it clashing or meshing with the GM's tuxes. I agree with NenaBear that navy linens might darken things. I think gray table cloths and navy napkins would look good though.

    My bridesmaids are wearing navy. We want a very romantic and intimate feeling so I want to darken the place so we did navy table cloths. I'm really not worried about clashing. I have eucalyptus lining the front of the head table so I figured it breaks it up so it's not too much navy.

    My bridesmaids were in hunter green. we did hunter table cloths on guest tables and blush on the head table (to combat the 'clashing' or too much green)

    In my mind, navy, grey and blush don't clash at all ~ so I don't think you can go wrong here! I actually think that's a really nice color palette - especially a lighter grey.

    I do like what @NenaBear said about thinking in terms of creating a 'lighter' look inside. Something to think about!

    Those colours are very similar to ours. My girls are in navy blue and the men are in grey.

    We are having white table linens with a navy blue table runner and navy blue sashed tied around the chair covers. We are having white napkins.

    Thanks so much ladies! You were all very helpful and I am going to consider everything at this point! Smiley smile

    I never actually thought of throwing white in the mix, because the venue has alot of white accents (dance floor, lounge chairs, fabric patent leather wall), but I am going to consider that too!

    Thanks again! Smiley smile

    I'd go with a lighter or darker shade of gray... I did navy linens specifically because I didn't want to do the same color as my bridesmaid's dresses (red).
