Did you know that The Lesser Bear sells table linens? If you are saying, "yes, of course I know that" than this post will just remind you of all the beautiful ways that you can use our linens. If you answered no, well, read on for lots of fresh ideas for how our table linens can be used.
Table Runners
Table runners are our best selling type of table linen. I believe that this is because of the versatility of a runner. Depending on if it is ironed or crinkly, spread out or bunched up, lengthwise of horizontal across a table, you can create very different looks.
Here in this photo by Kismet Visual & Co. you can see that Auburn & Ivory Creative styled this peach velvet table runner over a simple linen table cloth and layers on soft tones with the plates, glass wear etc., and our pink shibori dyed linen napkins for a very romantic look.
In this photo by Rachel Joy Barehl, Auburn & Ivory Creative style two of our shibori dyed runners, one in crepe de chine and one in a silk/hemp blend over a lovely dark wood table and paired it with our linen shibori dyed napkins, all topped with florals by State & Arrow.
In this photo by Henry Photography, Katie from Old Slate Farm used an extra long harem cloth runner to complete her charming garden party look. I love how it blows in the breeze.
One of our longest custom orders are these cotton gauze runners, dyes a light taupe with locally foraged nuts, each over 100ft long, for this greenhouse wedding. Such a romantic and nostalgic look under the strings of lights. Photo by Rachel Joy Barehl and Design/Florals by State & Arrow.
Head Tables
In Rachel and Stephen's wedding, Auburn and Ivory used our dancer silk gauze table runner to accent the head table. It looked dreamy on her white washed farm tables, with lots of delicate gold accents and peaches. Photographer: Addison Jones Photography
The image that is repined the most on our Pinterest account is this head table made of a wooden industrial spool, on which State & Arrow added a taupe cotton gauze runner and simple greenery with twinkling candles in pink glass holders. Photo by Rachel Joy Barehl.
Another runner on a head table. This wedding include a combination of round and rectangular tables. On the long tables, Auburn and Ivory used runners of our silk across the short length of the tables, printed with table numbers. On the larger round tables she draped runners of silk gauze to match the head table. Photo by Abby Mortenson Photography florals by State & Arrow.
