Choose the perfect size to enhance your event
For breathtaking wedding decor, there's nothing like a tablecloth that reaches right down to the floor, adding a touch of elegance to every table. Whether you opt for round, square or stand-up tables, choosing the right dimensions immediately adds character to your reception. Here are the precise measurements for a chic, harmonious effect, where each tablecloth gently touches the floor, creating that unforgettable ambience your guests will notice as soon as they arrive.
Size guide for each table type
Round tables: timeless elegance
Round tables are a classic for weddings, and for good reason: they encourage conviviality!
To achieve the perfect floor-length effect, measure the diameter of the table and add twice the height, usually 150 cm. For example, for a table 120 cm in diameter, you'll need a 270 cm tablecloth for an elegant fall to the floor.
If you have 150 cm tables, a 300 cm tablecloth will create the same sumptuous effect.
Rectangular and oval tables: a classic look that hits the spot
Rectangular and oval tables offer a formal, elegant look.
For an impeccable finish, measure length and width, then add 150 cm to each dimension so that the tablecloth touches the floor perfectly.
For example, for a 180 x 80 cm table, a 330 x 230 cm tablecloth is ideal. And if your tables are larger, like 200 x 100 cm, opt for a 350 x 250 cm tablecloth for a perfect fall.
Square tables: modern and stylish
Increasingly in vogue, square tables add a contemporary touch.
For a floor-length effect, add 150 cm to the table dimensions. For example, for a 100 x 100 cm table, a 250 x 250 cm tablecloth is ideal.
For slightly larger tables, such as 120 x 120 cm, choose a 270 x 270 cm tablecloth: chic effect guaranteed!
Cocktail tables and pedestal tables: refinement in height
Cocktail tables, or "mange-debout" tables, have that little something extra that catches everyone's eye at receptions.
For an elegant look, choose a round tablecloth 280 cm in diameter for a standard table 80 cm in diameter and 110 cm high.
This delicate floor-length drape adds a sophisticated touch, perfect for a charming, convivial cocktail area.
Practical tips for impeccable results
Consistency of dimensions: Nothing is more elegant than a room where all the tables are uniformly dressed. Vary the dimensions only if the tables are of different shapes.
Think about harmony with other elements: The size of the tablecloth must also take into account table decorations (candles, centerpieces, tableware) so that each element finds its place without disturbing your guests.
Test the rendering before the big day: If you have time, try out a table of the same size. This allows you to adjust the fallout and avoid unpleasant surprises!
