20 Cool Napkin Ideas To Take Your Tables Up A Knotch

As I’m sure many of you know, I’ve developed a passion for napkins during the course of planning our wedding, and it’s not hard to see why. With no other linens to compete with, these humble squares of fabric can really make or break a place-setting. Whether you’re looking to add some texture or color to your table, or simply give your guests a thoughtful finishing touch, there are countless ways to style napkins that go beyond just keeping sauce off your suit.

With the right choice and careful folding, a napkin can elevate even the most basic setting into something truly special. And let’s not forget about the embellishments – from simple napkin rings to heartfelt handwritten notes, the possibilities are endless. As someone who’s always on the lookout for new ways to make my wedding decor shine, I’ve curated 20 of my favorite napkin styling looks for you to enjoy from there, the only limit is your imagination.
