Table Linens:
Table linens are the notable thing in a Table. Choosing the right linen based on the theme or Color of the venue will add a look to an event. Table linen should be soft, wrinkle-less, and stain resistant. Think before that you are going for a full drop or half drop or mid drop or puddle drop. Based upon that get a tablecloth that perfectly fits the drop you have chosen. If you get a tablecloth without knowing the length, then the drop could change from full to half drop. Stick to the proper tablecloth length guide. There is a variety of fabric tablecloths (satin, jute burlap, polyester), colors, patterns ( checkered, flowers, box).
The types of Tablecloth are:

To prevent the stain on the tablecloth you can use Table overlays over the Tablecloth. Table overlays are available in attractive colors.
In the center of the table, you can prefer to use Table runners which can be used to decorate the centerpiece of the table. Tablerunner act as a decorative supply where you can keep the floral arrangements, fruit/vegetable, or candles.
Clip the corners of the tablecloth using Table skirt clips.
CENTERPIECE:
Lay the table runner in the center of the table and above that can be decorated with floral arrangements or candles. Keep a note that the centerpiece decoration should be in a way that doesn’t disturb the eye contact of both sides of people. Either the decoration should be above the head or below the faces.
Select a fragrant flower that matches the theme color of a wedding or event. Keep a bunch of fresh flowers in a crystal glass, placed at the center of the table. You can use Candles as a centerpiece.
