Choosing your wedding fabric
- Velvet — rich, dramatic depth for evening and winter weddings.
- Jacquard — woven patterns with timeless, formal elegance.
- Sequin — glamour and sparkle for receptions and head tables.
- Lace — romantic and delicate, beautiful as an overlay.
- Satin — a smooth, luminous sheen that photographs beautifully.
Wedding color palettes
Start with the shades couples reach for most:
- Whites & Ivory — classic and timeless.
- Blush — soft, romantic, on-trend.
- Champagne & Metallic — warm and celebratory.
- Gold — luxe and glowing under candlelight.
- Navy & Midnight — modern and elegant.
- Burgundy — deep and dramatic for fall and winter.
Getting the size right
For a floor-length look on round guest tables, add twice your desired drop to the tabletop diameter. Rectangular and banquet tables work the same way on each side. Every cloth is cut to order, so you can request an exact size. Use our tablecloth size guide and fabric calculator to plan.

Wedding tablecloth FAQ
What size tablecloth do I need for a round wedding table?
Measure the tabletop, then add twice your drop. For floor-length on a 60" round, you'll want a 120" round. See the size guide for every table.
Can you match the same color across many tables?
Yes — everything is made to order from the same fabric, so colors stay consistent. Order a $1 swatch first to lock the shade.
How early should I order?
Because each cloth is made to order, order a few weeks ahead — and start with $1 swatches so there are no surprises.
Do you ship nationwide?
Yes. Cloth & Linen ships across the United States.
