White is still the most popular choice for table linen, but vibrant or pastel colours work equally well, as long as you don’t overdo it. Remember there will be many colours introduced to the table with floral decorations alone, so best to stick with one colour theme throughout.
Napkins can be matched or contrasted, but always try to use your own imagination for their display rather than settling for those passé shapes that have been around for decades. Napkin ring ideas are endless. Choose traditional silver rings or create a gorgeous bespoke design using natural elements such as tied straw enclosing dried flower stems and foliage, ornamental clips, even lace or tulle to match the chair back decoration.
