When to order

Order everything as soon as your colors are set. Each product page and the checkout show when it arrives in your country.

Checking the color

Pick your color from our table runners. The Wrinkle Gauze Table Runner comes in 21 colors, from beige and white to burgundy, navy blue and rust, and The Crinkled Cheesecloth Gauze Runner in 9, including dusty pink, sage green and terracotta. Because gauze has an open weave, the surface underneath affects how each tone appears.

When your runners arrive, look at one in changing light, including candlelight in the evening, next to your stationery and flowers. Unused, unwashed fabric in its original packaging can go back within 30 days.

Calculating table runner lengths

When choosing table runners, calculate the total length by taking your table length, adding 20% for gathering, and then adding the drop at each end twice. For extra help with dimensions, review how to size a table runner.

With a 12 in (30 cm) drop, a 71 in runner dresses tables up to 39 in, a 118 in runner tables up to 78 in, a 134 in runner tables up to 91 in and a 157 in runner tables up to 110 in. For six tables, The Crinkled Gauze Table Runner comes as a 6-pack of 35 x 118 in runners. For styling, gather the cloth loosely along the surface. Adding a second layer provides deeper color and texture.

Fitting the arch cover and backdrop

To prepare your ceremony backdrop, measure the width and height of your arch frame and pick a cover from our arch drapes and backdrops. The Fitted Stretch Arch Cover comes in 31 x 71 in, 39 x 79 in and 47 x 87 in (80 x 180, 100 x 200 and 120 x 220 cm), width by height, in two-sided white polyester spandex. The frame is not included.

For a shimmering wall behind the arch, The Foil Fringe Backdrop Curtain comes in 39 in (100 cm) wide panels in three lengths, 39, 79 or 118 in (100, 200 or 300 cm), and 15 colors including gold, silver, champagne and rose gold. It is sold per panel, so two panels cover about 78 in (200 cm). Always keep the foil and fabric clear of candle flames.

Care guidelines and delivery

Delivery is $6.95 within the United States, or free on orders over $49. It costs $21.95 to Canada, $13.95 to the United Kingdom, $8.95 to the European Union (free over $139), and up to $28.95 elsewhere. The delivery time for your country shows on each product page and at checkout.

Review our delivery and returns policy when scheduling your order. Returns may be requested within 30 days of delivery, with return shipping paid by the customer unless an item is incorrect or faulty.

Test your layout in advance of the event. The runners and the arch cover take a cold machine wash; hang them to dry and iron on low if needed. Wipe the foil fringe clean and do not iron it.

Questions

When should I order for a wedding?

As soon as your colors are set. Each product page and the checkout show when it arrives in your country.

How many runners do I need?

One per table. For six tables, The Crinkled Gauze Table Runner comes as a 6-pack of 35 x 118 in (90 x 300 cm) runners from $79.95, about $13.33 a runner. For one long banquet row, overlap runners where the tables meet.

Will the color match my screen?

Screens shift color, so hold the runner against your flowers and venue when it arrives. If a shade is off, unused, unwashed fabric in its original packaging can go back within 30 days.
