Table Settings

I love the long table, and I’ve seen it at several weddings lately and really want to steal the idea. However, our wedding will have round tables, just like a lot of other weddings. There is nothing I can do about this, so I have to let it go, BUT then I stared thinking, ‘wait, the rehearsal has somewhat long tables!’

So my idea has not been crushed. Take a look at my inspiration from Sunday Suppers:

No, it’s not the purple flowers, it’s the burlap tablecloth and the simple mason jars! Swoon! I don’t have any idea where you acquire burlap tablecloths or if they are expensive, but they are absolutely gorgeous to me.

I even like them as table runners with a simple tablecloth.

Do you think our rehearsal dinner restaurant would care if I rolled in with some burlap I wanted to put on their tables?? Maybe.

I’m pretty sure you can buy burlap by the yard at a fabric store. It should be pretty cheap!

What are those gorgeous purple flowers called? I’ve seen them before but don’t know the name.

I’m having long tables for our venue and I’m totally obsessed with the tablescapes!

I love burlap runners. Both of those tablescapes (ugh, I sound like creepy Sandra Lee on the Food Network) look fantastic for inspirationy stuff.

You can buy burlap by the yard. Joann’s even stocks more of it this time of year and might run it on sale. I picked up 2 yards this weekend to makes bags for something work related for around $5. Its sealed edges would make the ends the only things that would need to be seamed or might be ravel. The one thing I didnt’ realize beforehand is it’s slightly “rough” so I wouldn’t cover seating with it.

you should just call them and ask! it’d be cute

but it might be scrachy….? if it’s the part where guests put their arms? maybe that can be the table runner part :oT

@fiftyfootbride: funny you should mention her! i usually hate her “tablescapes.” i swear she has a few of those cocktails of her before she puts together a table. there’s always so much stuff on them!

the tables in the inspiration photos make it feel so rustic and charming. i like it!

I say go for it! Why should the restaurant care? They don’t have to provide it. Oooh, can’t wait to see what you decide to do!

Any possibility the deep purple are statice? Those are a popular ‘filler’ flower in bouquets.

The tablescapes are simply lovely. Burlap should be available cheap. I should think your venue wouldn’t mind if you came in with table runners — so long as they knew BEFORE they set the tables.
