When it comes to creating a stunning reception space, linens can do more than just cover tables, they help complete the look. From timeless ivory to rich textures and bold hues, your linen selections are one of the simplest ways to elevate your overall wedding design.
At The Springs, couples can choose from a variety of linen options as part of their Wedding Package. Whether you’re keeping it classic or adding a bit of drama with specialty fabric, here’s everything you need to know about choosing your wedding linens.
Before diving into fabric swatches, consider your wedding’s color story. Are you envisioning a soft, romantic look with pastels and neutrals? Or something bold and modern with contrast and depth? Your linens should complement your floral design, bridal party attire, and overall aesthetic—not compete with them.
If you’re unsure, our standard linens come in a wide range of colors, making it easy to find something that works beautifully with your palette.
All full wedding packages include thirteen (13) standard poly cotton linens, available in both round and rectangular sizes with multiple color options. These are perfect for guest tables and can be easily styled up or down depending on your vision. Looking to add texture, sheen, or pattern? Our specialty linens come in a variety of premium fabrics and unique colors. These make a statement on key tables like your sweetheart table, cake display, or welcome table. They’re a small upgrade with a big visual payoff.
Napkins may be small, but they offer a big design payoff—especially when you’re working within a budget or aiming for intentional detail. They’re one of the easiest (and most cost-effective) ways to add personality, texture, and color to your tablescape.
A few reasons napkins matter more than you think:
They’re at every place setting – Unlike large florals or signage that guests may only see once, napkins are right in front of each guest. They’re part of the hands-on experience.
They photograph beautifully – A thoughtfully placed or uniquely folded napkin instantly elevates your flat lay and reception table photos.
They’re budget-friendly with big impact – Swapping basic white napkins for colored or textured options can transform the table for a minimal per-unit cost.
Styling Ideas:
Fold them elegantly over a charger plate for a clean, classic look.
Tie them in a loose knot or use a napkin ring for something a little more modern.
Drape them off the edge of the table for an editorial-style setting.
Mix two coordinating napkin colors for an alternating look or head table statement.
You don’t need to upgrade every table. Often, a few specialty linens mixed in with classic options can create visual variety while staying budget-friendly. Consider:
A bold specialty linen for your sweetheart or head table
Coordinating napkins that add a pop of color
A soft overlay or runner on your cake or guest book table
Make sure the linens are the correct size for your tables. Ill-fitting linens (too short or overly puddled) can take away from your polished look.
Confirm your table sizes with your venue.
Oversized linens can look elegant when puddled or tied, but only when done intentionally.
Colors look different online than their true tones in person, be sure to schedule time to meet with your Coordinator or Wedding Specialist and look over their linen swatches.
When you book your full package at The Springs, delivery, placement, and pickup for your linens is included so you have one less thing to worry about on your wedding day. If you’re considering booking linens à la carte, reach out to your venue team for pricing and details.
Your linens may seem like a small detail, but they help shape the feeling of your entire reception space. Trust your instincts, have fun with the design, and don’t be afraid to add a pop of color or a bold texture. This is your moment to create something beautiful, down to the very last fold. Connect with your Coordinator or Wedding Specialist to learn more and browse our linen selection!
