Finding the Perfect Fit: Unveiling the Mystery of Tablecloth Sizes for Your Dream Wedding
Congratulations, lovebirds! You've found the perfect venue, booked the dream band, and chosen the cake that'll leave tongues wagging. But amidst the whirlwind of wedding planning, one crucial detail might sneak its way onto the back burner: tablecloths. Fear not, because Wedding Superstore is here to unravel the mystery of tablecloth sizes and ensure your reception tables are dressed to impress!
Step 1: Know Your Table, Know Yourself (and Your Vision!)
Before diving into fabric swatches and drop lengths, let's get acquainted with your tables. Grab a measuring tape and note down their length and width. Are they classic rectangles, charming rounds, or perhaps flirty squares? Knowing this information shapes your tablecloth journey.
Next, envision your dream tablescape. Do you crave a flowing, fairytale vibe with luxurious fabric cascading to the floor? Or perhaps a chic, tailored look with tablecloths precisely framing your setup? This vision will guide your fabric and style choices.
Fabric Fantasies: Polyester, Lycra, and Beyond
Wedding Superstore boasts a fabric wonderland! For a sleek, wrinkle-resistant drape, consider elegant polyester or shimmering satin. These beauties handle spills and wrinkles like champs, ideal for lively celebrations. Craving a more form-fitting look? Embrace the magic of lycra! Its stretchy nature hugs tables for a polished, modern aesthetic.
Traditional fall tablecloths often Favor heavier fabrics like polyester. Remember, thicker fancier fabrics with embellishments that stand out like petal cloths might require slightly larger sizes to accommodate their bulk.
The Drop Decision: Unveiling the Waterfall or the Kiss
Now, let's talk about the drop – the magical distance your tablecloth gracefully descends from the table's edge. A traditional drop (around 50-60cm) creates a cascading waterfall effect, perfect for romantic or formal settings and keeping the bottom of the cloth out of the way of feet. For a modern, streamlined look, opt for a shorter drop (30cm) that sits elegantly above knee height. Then for the full fairytale look, there are 2 options with the floor length and puddle drops. Floor length will touch the floor (76cm drop) and puddle drop will create a graceful puddle around the table (90-100cm drop.
