Paid a Visit to the Linen Fairy

In our never-ending quest to nail down all of the details for this wedding, Mom and I explored a new topic this week: linens. Exciting, no? We have made some preliminary, not-set-in-stone decisions, and they are as follows:

Order ivory tablecloths from Puttin' on the Ritz in Des Moines.

These are all the crazy colors they have. Ivory not pictured.

Order coordinating chair covers for the head table. The chair covers they have are really cool; they don't cover the seat, just the back, and cost only $1 per chair. Of course, that adds up!

White chair cover. The ivory one's on the table.

I think they look a lot better with the sash on them. We'll probably use ribbon.

Create napkins: buy vintage floral bedsheets and cut them to napkin size using pinking shears (no-sew). Ordering colored ones is our backup plan. Here's what they might look like:

  1. I love all of it Alexa! Wish I was even the least bit creative like that. As you are passing these talents on to your own children, I suspect there will be opportunities for "Aunt Alexa" to teach future nieces also :)
