Table runners are back in style, with a range of different fabrics, colors and options to add to your design and theme for any event. One of the hottest new trends for weddings, parties, anniversaries, birthdays or any get together is the use of burlap table runners.
Burlap is jute like fabric that is rustic looking but also very trendy. It is durable and strong, and it is a nice contrast to other fabrics in both texture as well as weight. As it is a tan to light brown color, it is also neutral, which means it will work with a wide variety of tablecloth colors.
Weddings
The combination of lace and burlap is very popular at weddings. Burlap table runners can be used on top of a white or ivory tablecloth to add texture and a soft visual contrast. Use napkins in your wedding colors to bring out a vibrant look as anything will match with this neutral fabric, so there is never a concern with color coordination.
There is also a range of other burlap options to consider. Burlap party favor bags as well a chair sashes add a nice touch, plus they are also great for birthdays or other types of events.
Outdoor Events
For special outdoor events, the combination of a gingham checked tablecloth with burlap table runners looks very western, Americana or shabby chic. This is a great look for a July 4th event or if you are having a company picnic or retreat.
The other benefit to using burlap as a table runner for outdoor events is that it is heavier than other types of fabric. It is much less likely to blow around in a breeze, and it is heavy enough to pin or clip in place without making it obvious. This is a very versatile fabric that can be used at any event throughout the year.
