Meet Our French Linen Napkin Range
Our linen napkins are the perfect way to add a subtle pop of colour to your table scapes while making the dining experience feel just that little bit extra special. We have an extensive range of French linen napkins in a variety of contemporary colour options.
Whether your vibe is elegant and sophisticated, earthy, and bohemian or soft and romantic, the right shade of napkin can help you create a beautifully curated table scape.
To choose the perfect napkin colour, think about the overall theme and vision of your day. Are you using lots of pretty pastels and muted tones, or are you going for a bold, vibrant aesthetic? Refer to your wedding mood board as a guide to help you choose a napkin colour that will tie in cohesively with the other elements of your day.
For example, neutral shades like milk, oatmeal and mocha will work well for a timeless look, while autumnal tones like pumpkin and olive are ideal for an earthy colour palette. If you’re not sure which colour will best suit your tables cape, feel free to ask The Little Hire team and we can offer some suggestions!
Styling Your French Linen Napkins
Once you’ve decided on the perfect shade, consider how you want to style them at each place setting. Here are a couple of our fav ways to present your napkins:
Classic: Fold your napkins into thirds lengthwise and neatly tuck them under your plates so that they drape down over the edge of the table.The Classic fold creates a symmetrical, clean, and sophisticated table setting. It also looks great with a place card, favour, and/ or menu on top and creates an epic visual effect throughout the room.
Styling tip- Create a little smaller menu so that the napkin can create a subtle border around your stationery.
Knotted: For an effortlessly chic and relaxed vibe, tie your napkins about one-third of the way down to create a knot. This style works well when positioned slightly off-centre or on a slight angle. You can achieve the same knotted look by using a napkin ring or by tying your place cards around the napkin with a silk ribbon.
Long and Draped: To create an unfussy, textured placing, grab your linen by a corner and place the napkin in its natural draped form underneath your dinner plates or entree plates to create a beautifully layered dinnerware setting.
To discover the right napkin fold, consider the overall concept of your wedding day. A classic fold is appropriate for a formal, timeless aesthetic, whilst a knotted napkin is the perfect addition for a relaxed and chic table setting. What ever you chose, we promise you can’t go wrong!
