Table Runners

Can you put a table runner on a round table or would that look weird? Would they only look good with either oval or rectangular tables? I am contemplating if i should use one to bring some more color to my tables.

Re: Table Runners

I have actually never seen one on a round table but that doesnt mean anything- it could look really nice. Maybe someone has some pics or somehting that would be helpful. What about using the napkins for some color?

Re: Table Runners

I'm using one on my round tables...just make sure you know the dimensions of the table and have the table runner take up 1/3 of the table or else it will get lost on the table. Also...I would go to a fabric store(or garment district in NYC) and bring the fabric to a tailor to hem the sides. They are MUCHO to get through store or florist....FYI

Re: Table Runners

My colors are brown, pink and ivory and I really didn't want to use color napkins because some of the napkin colors are really bad. I thought putting a nice chocolate brown runner would be nice.....but I don't know how it would look. I know my hall has oval tables. I just don't know if the entire room can be the oval tables to get all to fit.

Wow, I will have to keep that in mind...thank you. I have to look at fabrics and see what I really want. My Aunt is a designer and I am sure she will have her opinions and help me with fabrics.

Re: Table Runners

I have round table and am using claret ( a shade of red) table runners, they are more on the round side and take uo quite a bit of space and break up the all white table setting, plus it looks so very nice with the claret sash/bows we are doing on the chairs. It will also tie into the fabric design they are doing in the ceiling of the RH. Its going to look amazing! I am so excited!

My cousin had her wedding at the Vineyard Caterers and they did an amazing job. Make sure John takes care of you.
