How to Fold Table Napkins?
When it comes to the impression of the guest table, table decorations and table napkins are key.*
Many brides might have an idea of what style of table flowers they want, but…
You might be surprised to hear that there are quite a few voices saying, "I hadn't thought about the table napkins!"
Indeed, compared to table decorations, table napkins are more modest. Moreover, since there are many different folding methods, it can be hard to know which one suits your style…!
If You Want a Stylish Overseas-Inspired Coordinate, Choose One of These Two Folding Methods!
However, for brides who are thinking of creating a stylish overseas-inspired coordinate, there's no need to worry about how to fold the napkins♡
This is because, when looking at wedding accounts from abroad, the folding methods are mostly
'Gathered with a napkin ring'
'Tied'
It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that most stylish coordinates use one of these two tying methods!*
Now, let’s take a closer look at each of these tying methods◎
Overseas-Inspired Table Napkin Folding Method ① Gathered with a Napkin Ring
The first method I will introduce is gathering the napkin and tying it with a napkin ring or ribbon◎
It's a simple arrangement where you hold the center of the expanded table napkin and just secure the tip with the ring♩
This folding method allows the napkin to spread out beautifully, which adds a festive touch!
Using a simple napkin ring gives an elegant feel, while using an organza ribbon adds a cute charm, so you can change the atmosphere depending on the design and ribbon♩
This folding method is not often seen in Japan, but it is the most standard method overseas*
Overseas-Inspired Table Napkin Folding Method ② Tying
The next method I will introduce is tying the table napkin◎
As it appears, this is simply an arrangement where the napkin is tightly tied♩
Tying the napkin tightly creates a crisp impression,
while loosely tying it gives a cute impression, so even with the same tying method, the atmosphere can change!
Additionally, if the knot is in the center, it exudes an elegant feel,
while placing the knot at the edge creates a casual atmosphere◎
This is a deep tying method that allows you to change the impression based on how you tie the napkin*
Let’s Coordinate in Style by Mimicking Overseas Weddings♩
I introduced two standard overseas napkin folding methods*
☑ Gathered with a napkin ring
☑ Tied
The napkin folding methods for overseas weddings are mostly one of these two♡
Both tying methods are very cute and stylish, yet easy to achieve♩
Although this folding method is standard overseas, you don't often see it at Japanese weddings.
Some wedding venues may charge a fee for specific napkin folding methods, so it's a good idea to first ask your planner if they can accommodate these styles♩
