Going with this option can direct their guests’ focus onto centerpieces, table settings, and other small details that make their wedding unique. Colorful florals pop against a wood grain table; handwritten menus and place cards don’t get lost beside busy linen; and gold rimmed champagne glasses shine a bit brighter against a beautifully lit glass table. The few linens that are placed on the table, such as napkins and table runners, create a lush or simplistic look while including the wedding day’s colors.
Incorporating both of the couple’s styles can also be achieved without involving a table linen. She loves a rustic and natural feel, while he likes for things to be modern and sleek? Why not combine both of their personal styles and pair a farm table with a contemporary ghost chair or gunmetal chair?
It isn’t just guest tables and head tables that are becoming aesthetically appealing by baring it all either; cocktail tables, buffet tables, and cake tables are as well. Cocktail tables make a lasting first impression when enticing people to lean up against high gunmetal tables or to set the couple’s signature drink on top of a bistro style farm table while laughing and conversing with fellow guests.
Food served at the event can also become a part of the wedding décor when appetizers are eloquently displayed on glass tables, while the down-home feel of a farm table may tempt guests to go back and get one more slice of pie from the dessert table.
These tables can add character, texture, and interest, which might not have been achieved with linen. They can complement or add a nice contrast to almost any space, and often times they feel like they belong at the venue.
So go ahead, shock your guests and let your tables go naked.
