My thoughts on table design is that a cloth seems, frankly, unnecessary. Beautiful tables are made today to enhance the natural aesthetics that so many brides are shooting for. Why cover a table up with a cloth that can cause the room to look busy, overdecorated and distract from the china, food art, and centerpiece? Going cloth-less is the perfect way to bring your event to modern standards and create a relaxed but cutting edge design with a smooth, linear look to the room.
Get the visual with me :)
A long chocolate brown wood table: shows candlelight beautifully as it reflects of a glossy varnish as well as acting as a great contrast to white or patterned china.
White Formica or lacquer: excellent with silver accents and a pop of color such as purple or fuchsia in a centerpiece...VERY CHIC!
My last thought for you is this....if you can find a way to send out the tablecloths for cleaning and pressing between each meal, TELL ME... otherwise, a cleaner, more organic effect is to let a beautiful wood, or other texture, table do the job!
