How do I drape tablecloths for a wedding buffet table?
Table Skirt FittingPlace the table skirt around the table. Adhere the top edges of the skirt to the top edges of the table. Follow the directions on the skirting package to see how this is done.Add HeightAdd a linen table cloth to the top of your table. Spread the edges of the tablecloth so that it drapes slightly over the skirt. Pin the table cloth at the center and corners of the table and hide the clothes pin under the table, and under the skirt, then drape the unpinned areas loosely so it looks like one big loose cloth wave that falls over the skirt. Adjust the drapes until you get the wavy, elegant look you want.Finishing TouchesPlace bows around your table skirt to accent the table. Place chafing dishes and platters on display stands, risers and pedestals. These can be found at any party rental store in your area. Place the dishes at different heights to create more visual interest.
