You have to admit that stripes add an uncommon yet chic look to a wedding reception. So when we stumbled upon this fresh post on Paper{Whites} that had lime green and white stripes on the wedding tables, we immediately thought, “What a fresh idea to share!” Just see how stripes are applied in this wonderful wedding. Soon, you will be thinking beyond mere black and white for using stripes at your wedding.

This sunshine-filled scene is actually from blog owner Alison’s own wedding. With the simple addition of lime and white striped runners extending the length of the tables, what a vision of light and freshness the entire venue was! (As Alison reveals, it was her mom who sewed all the runners using fabric on sale at Joann’s.) You’ve got to love this!
Our suggestions for making a similar stylish impact with stripes:
1. Choose a striking color and use only that against a base color (Alison’s lime green and white was echoed in the gorgeous bouquets and centerpieces by Magical Blooms).
2. Apply the stripes to only a few key elements (even one will do, if it’s as eye-catching as her table-length runners).
3. Keep the other table details simple and monochromatic for a clean and inviting overall look.
