Tips for Laying your Wedding Table

Once your vintage tablecloth has been laid it is important to start from the centre of your table and start to build outwards. It is a good idea to hire a plain white tablecloth which goes to the floor and lay over your pretty vintage cloth. Next start building height and interest. This can be done in two ways. Choose a selection of eclectic vintage posy jugs and vases & cluster together or line up in a row. You may prefer to tier pressed glass cake stands and finish with a rose bowl spilling with vintage blooms on the top.

Next lay your mis-matched vintage side plates adorned with a pretty linen napkin and nestle it between a bone-handled knife and silver fork & spoon. For an extra vintage touch add a dainty teacup & saucer above each place setting with the guest’s name tied to the handle with ribbon and fill them with champagne.

Indoors or out, vintage linens set the scene for your event. Beautiful vintage table cloths and napkins adorned with vintage crockery add the finishing touches to your tables giving them the “wow!” factor your guests will remember long after the party is over. If you’re unsure of the best way to dress your tables, ask about our styling services.
