Hi everyone, happy Friday!

My FH and I went to our reception venue to go over table settings and linen options. We will have four round tables of 5 and 6 and then one head table. Our colors are burgundy and gold with touches of blush and navy.

Our coordinator first suggested a burgundy table cloth as a base with a gold overlay. One overlay has an embroidered pattern (FH loves this) and the other is an iridescent gold. I'm not sold on either of the two and can't picture it all together with the centerpieces.

The room is dark cherry colored wood and dimly lit. Overall, I think the burgundy table cloth is just too much burgundy against the walls and the chairs but I'm not sure what other color to do. My MOH suggested either a blush or navy table cloth with gold chargers and burgundy napkins but I can't picture that either.

Below I'll attach the table setting with the embroidery that FH likes and then the other option in the comments along with centerpiece inspiration.

    I do also think the blush is pretty but I don't love it.... but its definitely a much better option that the original darker colors - but if you love it then go for it!

    My suggestion is usually to go with an ivory or cream colored linen and incorporate the other colors with napkins/centerpieces/flowers. You could do an ivory linen, blush table runner or napkins, with gold vase, and burgundy centerpieces. Or an ivory linen, burgundy napkins, gold vase, and blush flowers.

    If you really love the blush linens, I think they would look beautiful with burgundy napkins, blush/burgundy centerpieces, and possibly gold chargers or stemware?

    Let us know what you decide on!

    Ivory would be gorgeous, maybe with burgundy table runners?

    I like white or ivory with the gold runners. It would be brighter and more appealing.
