From Classic to Luxe: Tablecloth Rental Styles That Wow Guests
Why Rent Tablecloths Instead of Buying?
Sure, you could buy your own linens. But ask anyone who's done it before and they'll likely say the same thing: renting is easier, cleaner, and more cost-effective. With table linen rental, there’s no washing, no pressing, no storing, and no trying to offload 12 used tablecloths on Facebook Marketplace the next day.
Plus, renting opens the door to a much wider variety of high-end materials and on-trend patterns you probably wouldn’t invest in for a one-time event. Want velvet? Embroidery? Coastal toile? We’ve got options that turn tables into conversation starters.
How to Choose the Right Size Tablecloth Rental
Don’t worry—you don’t need to be a math major to get this right. When you rent tablecloths, just tell us what tables you’re using and we’ll help you select the right size. We can also help you with layering runners, overlays, or napkins to add depth and visual interest. The standard rule is:
- For round tables, you typically want a 120" linen to get full drop to the floor.
- For banquet tables, 90"x156" is most common to cover an 8-foot table with full drop.
- For cocktail tables, a 120" round allows for a floor-length drape and tie.
What Fabric Options Are Available for Tablecloth Rental?
So glad you asked. Our linen inventory includes everything from crisp cottons to romantic prints to modern velvets. Here are a few of our favorite styles that bring texture, personality, and just the right amount of wow:
Toile Linens (Sage, Blue, and Rose)
Perfect for spring weddings or garden parties, these romantic prints pair beautifully with Natural Rattan Chargers and simple white china. They add a vintage-inspired elegance without feeling old-fashioned.
Coastal, classic, and full of texture. This style keeps things light and airy—especially when paired with Lucia Dinner Plates and coastal florals.
This bold black-and-white pattern makes a major statement. Pair it with Eleanor Fern China to create a fresh, maximalist look that feels curated, not chaotic.
Whimsical and wildflower-inspired, the White Giverny linen is a nod to blooming meadows and watercolor gardens. Use it with our Henderson Silver Beaded Charger for a polished, romantic finish.
Rich, buttery, and luxe, this linen is perfect for fall events or dramatic indoor dinners. Try it with our Nova Gold-Rimmed Charger for an ultra-refined table.
This tropical print is vibrant and playful. We love pairing it with bright whites, like our Standard White Plate, to keep the look sharp and clean.
Create a moody, modern atmosphere with this patterned linen. Add our Black Lacquered Charger for edge and attitude without going full monochrome.
Linens: The Unsung Hero of Event Design
The best part about linens for rent? They do a lot with very little. One tablecloth can transform a plain table into something celebratory. Add a charger, a patterned napkin, a pop of colored glassware—and suddenly, your event has a distinct personality.
That goes for wedding table linens, cocktail table linens, and every celebration in between. Whether you're setting a single table for 10 or a tented reception for 200, linens are one of the easiest ways to add impact without blowing the budget.
