A simple way to spruce up your tables

White linens are the most popular way to cover your reception tables. They are often paired up with a colored napkin that corresponds with the theme of the wedding. But did you ever think of injecting a pattern?


We used gingham throughout our stationery and other wedding decor, so it only seemed fitting to tie it into our napkins at the reception. I LOVE how it all turned out.


My mom and I took it upon ourselves to sew all the napkins for the reception. It was quite a task, but since we had a 14 month engagement...it wasn't all that bad. I'm excited to bust them out for Thanksgiving this week. We're hosting it this year, our first Thanksgiving as a married couple. It's only fitting to use the napkins from our wedding day, right?
