What If Your Venue Doesn't Provide Linens?


Some wedding venues will provide everything you need for the perfect tablescape. Others require you to rent them from an outside source. Here are some of our favorite businesses to work with!

Tablescape Trends

Bridal Guide has a great guide to some gorgeous 2017 tablescape trends, including:

Vintage glamour: Mix the old and new with industrial touches and soft, feminine touches. You could have gorgeous candelabras and lace table runners!

Blush Pink: Think a banquet table with a gorgeous runner full of blush florals like the picture featured!

Metallics: Gold is very on trend right now. Gold chairs are incredibly popular and are available through most rental companies. 

Neutrals: Neutral doesn't have to mean white, though shades of white on a tablescape can be incredibly gorgeous. Neutrals can be navy, black, or brown!

Classy Event Rentals

Classy Event Rentals is a rental company that loves to be your "one-stop shop" for your rental needs. With a 5,000 square foot warehouse and boutique they set up mock weddings so you can see what your rental items would look like all put together. When you're planning a wedding, it's often a relief to have a vendor who can take care of so many things for you instead of using several vendors. 

Classy Event Rentals also has gorgeous products like these glass chargers.

If you're dreaming about an outdoor wedding, you'll need to consider renting a tent. It may seem like an expense you don't want to make, but a tent is not only visually stunning, creating a barrier for your space to truly make it feel like it is a reception space, but it also will protect you and your guests from rain and sun. 

Hampton Roads Event Rentals not only rents out everything you need for your tables, but they also have gorgeous, large tents for your outdoor wedding.
