We often get asked why it is that we focus solely on specialty wedding linens, and to us, the answer is simple. It’s not only our abiding love of textiles that sparked this love affair, but the fact that the perfect table linens are the key to a truly gorgeous event! There are so many details that have to come together to create a striking design – from the surroundings, to the color story, to the decor and rentals that grace the tables – but the unifying element falls to the perfect linen choice. Dressed tables occupy the most visual real estate in the reception area, giving linens the ability to personalize and transform a space. Bright colors or a pop of pattern can instantly dress up a simple hall, while luxuriously textured tablecloths look perfectly at home in a grander setting.

When we work with clients on selecting wedding linens, we always begin with their venue. Whether they are getting married in a ballroom, a wine cellar, or a barn, we start with the ambient colors in the space. Working within an existing color palette, like a prominent carpet pattern or wall treatment, is one of the best ways to create a harmonious design that complements the space. We recently collaborated on the San Francisco/Bay Area NACE Gala in San Francisco’s historic Sir Francis Drake Hotel – the icy blue and ivory linens with touches of blush and gold in the floral arrangements made a beautiful match with the Ballroom’s cream on blue carpeting. Adding colored linens to guest tables is the easiest – and most cost effective! – way to dress up a simple space and leave guests wowed. Of course, we love it when our couples like to get creative with their tables as well! Patterned linens, vibrant runners, or the sparkle of sequins help tables feel full with smaller centerpieces or minimal decor.

We have all sorts of tricks when it comes to working with in a tight budget, of course! We often meet with couples who fell in love with one of our specialty linens and would love to incorporate it in their design. Since all eyes are on the Head Table or Sweetheart Table, as well as the cake, those are the best places to start! Once the eye-catching linen has been placed where it will be seen – and photographed – the most, we can select accent linens in complementary colors and styles to place on Guest Tables. Adding a fabulous linen to accent tables like the Guest Book or throughout the Cocktail Area is another great cost-effective way to create a gorgeous, cohesive design.

Styling Your Wedding Cake Table | Napa Valley Linens

Whether you opt for a simple, elegant cake with fresh flowers or a modern, graphic dessert, your wedding cake table is sure to be one of the focal points of your reception! Styling the wedding cake table is one of the easiest ways to bring a unique and personal touch to your wedding – we’ve paired some of our favorite cakes with just the right linens to complement them and complete the overall look. A minimalist wedding cake takes on a modern look when paired with a small geometric print, while a delicate tiered confection can take on a glam look when set on top of sparkling sequins. Combining just the right print or linen texture with your cake design can have an enormous impact on the look and feel of your reception, so read on to find out just how linens and cake can create a perfect pairing!

 

Barely There Naked Wedding Cake | Styling a Wedding Cake Table from Napa Valley LinensPhotography: Amy Anaiz Photography via Style Me Pretty

Naked cakes are still taking the wedding world by storm and this one could not be more romantic! The light crumb coat of frosting beautifully ties in with today’s rustic craze, while the peach roses and gold topper add a romantic finishing touch. The simplicity of the cake itself leaves lots of room to play with table linens when it comes to pattern and texture. The ivory and pale peach combination doesn’t call for vivid colors in the tabletop styling but an elegant neutral pattern would complement the soft colors in the cake itself. The large-scale damask print of our Brussels adds an elegant note to the unfinished cake, while the tone on tone palette complements it without pulling focus. The unabashedly romantic chiffon rosettes of our Boheme Creme Overlay tie in with the delicate florals and add beautiful texture!

Sometimes simplicity is the best way to make a statement – elegant, minimalist cakes have become a beautiful trend! Smooth fondant columns or barely swirled buttercream layers look delectable but not overwhelming, leaving a lot of options when it comes to picking linens. Make a gentle impact with a selection of simple cakes in varying sizes and heights to create visual interest, tying them together with accent details and, of course, the linen! The subtle pattern on our richly textured Bellagio Cream linen adds depth to the table while the matte sparkle of our Paris Gold sequins adds a glamorous touch while remaining understated.

There’s nothing like fresh flowers on a cake, and this sweet, pastel palette is perfect for a garden wedding! Our swirling Ankara print in soft Aquamarine (Sharon’s favorite color!) adds a modern vibe to a petite cake table or a grand dessert display. The large-scale pattern adds a modern flair, but the delicate color palette helps it blend with a softer garden palette. Our Peony Overlay in Blush or Ivory carries the floral theme with a beautiful, textural petal design!

Lots of couples are opting for a dessert buffet or elaborate display these days and we love the options it creates! Multiple platters and stands add a lot of different elements to a table, so it’s important to pick just the right linen to have an impact without overwhelming the table. Newport Sand has a lovely natural texture and petite polka dots to lend just a little bit of design, while our soft, distressed Brighton print adds color and pattern but is large enough to keep from looking busy with the rest of the decor.

Textural cakes will always be one of our favorites – they remain a classic for lovers of elegant wedding design. Our Summer Sugar is thick and luxurious to the touch, with a woven look that adds depth to the table while still appearing chic and crisp. The simplicity of the linen ties into the texture of the cake while carrying the minimalist vibe. A small, repeating pattern like our Marrakesh adds a gorgeous design element while the matte gold on ivory remains effortlessly chic!

It’s no secret that we love a metallic and gold and silver look amazing on a cake! Whether your style is all out gold glam or just a hint of metallic, there’s a gorgeous way to tie that edible art into your cake table design. The bold metallic of our Cleo Gold Overlay is sure to make a statement, whether the cake atop it is romantic Art Deco or just a hint of gold leaf. If edible sequins or gold dust buttercream is your style, the vibrant hues of our Faux de Soie collection play off a dramatic cake with rich color and a luxe Dupioni silk texture!
