5. Teal and Gold Brocade Table Linens

6

Your dining tables occupy the largest amount of visual real estate at your reception, making them the perfect canvas for a major color statement. Swap out standard polyester tablecloths for heavy brocade or jacquard linens featuring an intricate teal and metallic gold pattern. The deep, greenish-blue of the teal provides a moody, sophisticated base, while the woven gold threads catch the light of your centerpieces.

Because the linens themselves are highly detailed, you can keep the rest of the table setting relatively minimalist. Opt for simple white ceramic plates, sleek modern flatware, and low, understated floral arrangements. The rich texture of the brocade fabric adds an undeniable layer of luxury, reminiscent of a royal banquet hall, making every guest feel like royalty.
