okay i'm making a total mountain out of a molehill. my wedding dress is ivory. but the table linen from the hotel which is included in the package is white. if we hire ivory linen we're looking at a bill of about £300 + and we're on a really tight budget. the white table linen is FREE cos it's included in the package. i don't want the table linen and my dress to look awful but i'm getting to the point where i'm stressing over linen instead of my hair (not booked or even looked at) or vows (again not even looked at!!)
what do you think?
cheers!!

i think u are getting a tad too stressy over it!!! tbh no one is goin to be sitting there thinking " o god her linen dont match the colour of her dress"..white is the standard coloured of linen for anywhere so i wouldnt worry..all eyes wil be on u and ur h2b.nothing else!! relax about it and start focussing on ur hair etc xxx

ha this is so random i have the same problem but the other way round! my dress is going to be while but my venue only has ivory table linen and chair covers. i did stress for a little while but i think it was Jellytot who pointed out, how often do you go to a wedding and go 'oh my god her dress doesn't match the table cloths!' honestly i don't think anyone would even notice xx

what about getting some material and making some ivory runners for the tables ......they are only long oblongs and can be made quickley
dont worry! no-one will notice! (only you!) ive got to change all mine, booked cream tablecloths to go with cream dress, now having white dress (after consultation with best friend-style guru!) and now need to order white tablecloths! Dont know why.... ive just said no-one would notice.... doh!

How about getting some organza material (off ebay a roll for around 25 metres is about £8) and having a centre line down the middle...
Were doing this... our table covers are white and where having a line of blue down the middle :)
CommentAuthorRebecca
lala we've got some gorgeous purple organza to use as runners and it SHOULD (in theory) match the sashes on the chair covers. and the added advantage of using the hotels linens is that the chair covers will fit their chairs PERFIK!!! lol

I don't think you'd want to match the tablecloth anyway! I mean, it's not something you'd even consider at any other sort of do!
CommentAuthorRebecca

bridebecca: gah! this thing is making me mental!!!!! i'm not normally like that either! I'm usually very laid back and stuff but there are times when i wake up and i'm like "oh my god what about sashes for the chairs!" and then it's a mad rush to get it sorted. lol x

I don't think it will cause too much of a problem it's just causing you extra stress which you don't need xx

like others have said people wont be looking at the linen and then my dress and comparing the colours. i think it's just me being a bit to bridezilla isn't it! lol x
CommentAuthorEriksfjord
My dress is ivory and the table linen will be white - don't stress I really don't think anyone will notice the tablecloths! xx
CommentAuthorJilly Bean
I don't think it'll matter hun...I can't say I've ever noticed the colour of the linen in relation to the colour of the bride's dress at any wedding I've been to before xx
