About attaching bows to tables at reception

These bows will go on the skirts of the sweetheart table, and a few others. I will be making them, and I'm unsure how they will be attached. Debi thinks there are some kind of clips? I don't know if I should use wire or ribbon, to tie the bow together. TIA!!!!!! Mary MOB

Could you use a clothespin? Would the pin be visible? It might be an inexpensive way to clip them on if they are small enough....

could you attach them to binder clips or those plastic clips they sell for picnic tables to keep the table cloth from flying up.

Or when they gather the tablecloth, they make sorta rosettes using rubberbands. Maybe you could pin them on the gathers???

Thanks, Bonnie and Christine, I'll run these ideas by Debi. I had thought about pinning the backs. Mary MOB

Mary I was at my RH a couple weeks ago and they were setting up for a wedding and they were using straight pins to do this same thing... longer ones like ones you get for floral stuff like corsages. I know you can get packs of hem at like Micheals and Joanns.

Hat pins might work ...

Another option is something like these, from Oriental Trading

White Rose Table Clips. Keep your tablecloth in place with these decorative plastic clips! A convenient option for all your reception tables, these pretty flowers will add a touch of beauty to your wedding décor. Each clip has a polyester rose. 2'

They have white roses on them, but you could probably remove the roses pretty easily ...
