Which way would look best dark orange table linens with chocolate brown napkins or the other way around?

Question

my wedding is in the fall please help me im gong crazy with the colors.

another tip my flower arrangements will be orange , green, yellow , white colors

Answer 1

Chocolate brown linens with orange napkins - the bright colour accents the deeper colour better....

Answer 2

I think brown linens with orange napkins. Congrats. Fall weddings are sooo beautiful.

Answer 3

I'd do the brown cloth with the orange napkins. That would make the orange go pop! your eye would carry right to them. The other way around, it would not, people would be looking for the napkin, the brown  would be lost in a sea of orange. Are you having a center piece with a little orange in it? the orange napkins would carry the eye right to the centerpiece next.

a neat thing to do if you don't have access to table linens is go to the fabric store, and hold up a spool of orange thread up against a length of brown material, and then do the opposit for the orange material using brown spool of thread. That is about the right ratio of orange to brown as a tablecloth and napkins. See? I was right, you"ll be saying what happened to the brown spool?

PS, the softer brown tablecloth would be classier than the orange tablecloth, but the orange would make a huge daring statement, though.

and don't worry about too much color, you don't have half what I would choose, I love the reds and golds and oranges and purple of fall. I would have all of them! Speaking of pop!

Answer 4

orange napkins. You want just a bit of color to stand out as an accent. Brown is neutral so make that the tablecloth color.  

Answer 5

With the flowers and all you should go with the brown t/cloth and orange napkins. On the other hand if you have a good interior dec you can do both and place the flowers to suit.

Answer 6

Use the brown linens with orange napkins

Answer 7

If you can't make up your mind you can go with both.  Do some with the dark orange linens and do some with the chocolate brown linens.  By the way, those colors look nice together.

Answer 8

i love orange - but as an accent colour.  

stick with the brown linens & orange napkins (or white - may be less $).   Centrepieces can have all the fall colours.  

Answer 9

Chocolate table cloths. Orange napkins

Answer 10

orange with brown napkins.  the brown is nicer as an accent colour, especially for a fall wedding.  Those flowers will be great.  i'd use the white as accent if possible and focus on the orange and yellow.  Just my tip though, I don't know if you just want the colours or if you have a specific arrangement in mind already.

EDIT: I am doing orange with brown napkins, we are actually doing either orange linens and white chair coverings or vice versa.  It looks gorgeous, definately not too much orange.  We are also using a burnt orange, so a darker not so bright.

Answer 11

I think brown linens with orange napkins, but it's your day so try dressing a few tables all one way then the other!

Answer 12

I think the brown table cloth with orange napkins.  Since your flower arrangements are orange and green and yellow they will stand out more with a brown table cloth.  Good luck!  

Answer 13

I think brown tablecloths and orange napkins.  All those tables covered in orange would look too funky!  Good luck!!!

Answer 14

I think this way sounds really nice.

Answer 15

I would have to say the chocolate linens with the dark orange napkins.  I've always decorated my place with darker foundations with lighter accents.  It's always worked out for me this way.  Plus, if you're having flower arrangements (or any arrangements for that matter) on the tables, a brighter table cloth plus the color in the centerpieces would be too much - in my opinion.  Use the color in the napkins to bring out the color in the arrangements!

Good luck and congratulations!

Answer 16

I think chocolate linens with orange napkins. The orange would be too much if it was the linens. Plus the flowers would get lost in the sea of orange. Congrats!

Answer 17

I also think the chocolate tablecloth with orange napkins would look best for a wedding.  I think it would bring more elegance to a decoration with the richness of the brown and would look way better against your dress no matter which tone of white it is.

Congratulations!  Hope all goes well in your day.
