Beautiful table runners are what many well dressed table designs are adorning these days. They’ve actually come a long way since their birth in the Middle Ages, created solely to protect tablecloths, which were highly revered, from messy Kings and courts. Men!
Over the decades as we’ve all become more, what’s the word, couth (LOL) table runners have become more of a design accessory than a sanitary necessity. While in some cases they’re still used to protect tables and to cover-up those not so attractive permanent damages; they are also serving as key elements to table décor. Table runners can be as simple or elaborate as you can imagine, from traditional casual designs for home décor to elaborate designs with exotic handiwork for formal events.
When is a runner right for your event?
· If your venue provides basic linens that you’d like to use, but are looking to enhance the design consider runners. They’re easy on the budget and provide lots of flexibility.
· Custom table linens for event themes can be expensive. Consider using a table runner to really bring home a seasonal, elaborate or cultural event theme.
· When budget is an issue. Most venues provide at least a basic poly white table linen, add a runner and sash to your design to bring in color and character.
