Table Runners

A runner adds a layer of depth down the center of the table. Lay it over your tablecloth or straight onto bare wood — either way, it is matched to the rest of your palette.

Frequently asked questions

Does a runner go over a tablecloth or straight on the table?

Either works. Over a tablecloth, a runner adds a band of contrast down the center; on a bare wood table, it dresses the surface while letting the wood show. Both looks are common at weddings — it comes down to the feel you want.

What length runner do I need?

It depends on your table and whether you want the ends to drop over the edge. You do not have to work it out yourself — tell us your tables when you order and we will size the runner to the look you are after.

Do runners work on round tables?

Yes — a runner across a round table breaks up a large expanse of cloth and gives the centerpiece a stage. It is an easy way to bring an accent color to round guest tables without changing the base linen.

Should the runner match the napkins or the tablecloth?

The runner usually carries the accent: pair it with napkins in the same shade, or let it stand alone against a neutral cloth. Every color is photographed for its fabric, so you can see the pairing before you commit.
