Question from Maria:
I am having an outside wedding reception for my son & his new bride at my friend’s house. Her new patio furniture has grays, salmon, brown/beige & yellow. I am not sure what color to get for the tablecloths. I orginally wanted cream colored tablecloths/napkins with white orchids as a centerpiece–but I realize I need a contrasting color (salmon? for a wedding?)
A previous event at the same place had brown tablecloths which I was told looked beautiful. But do I do brown on all tables except the bride and groom which will be white??? Do I do salmon-colored tablecloths??? I don’t want to clash with pre-exising colors. Thank you for your help.
Answer from Bridal Expert Angela:
Hi Maria. Without actually seeing how the colours are laid out, I will do my best to answer your question. Salmon is fine choice of colour for the tablecloths. It will give a splash of colour into the seating arrangements. If you feel salmon is too bold a colour, you might consider a nice crisp grey colour which goes well with any other colour, but looks elegant with white and black.
I suggest getting a few colour sample tablecloths from your supplier and try them out in that space. That will alleviate any doubts you have about the perfect choice for the special day. Good luck and enjoy the process.
