Summer Tablecloths ~ Easy and Elegant

Summertime offers lots of opportunity for entertaining. It is generally more casual than other times of the year. There are parties on the patio, on the beach and around the pool! We are happy to invite more guests to an outdoor party and we often include more children. And we do want to relax and enjoy our party, but still create an elegant, "put together" atmosphere. The last thing you want to worry about is someone spilling barbeque sauce, red wine sangria or blueberry pie on your tablecloth! Today, you have lots of options.

One option is a "coated" tablecloth. Wonderful for summer barbeques, clam bakes and dinner on the patio, these coated damask cloths have been treated with an acrylic coating that repels water and stains. You simply wipe clean! And there is no need to sacrifice style. Renowned French designers Le Jacquard Francais, Garnier Thiebaut and Nydel offer a wide selection of these cloths in the most current fashion trends. These tablecloths are usually also available in the non-coated cotton version and in custom sizes.

Or...try one of our colorful French Provencal jacquards that have cotton threads that have been coated with Teflon. Oily stains and liquids simply remain on the surface, waiting to be sponged clean. The tablecloths feel like cotton, but they are totally protected. No worries about wine stains! If you have a round table, choose a square for the most current look!
 
Take full advantage of the summer weather, enjoy entertaining your friends and families. Your guests will be amazed at your elegant table and you will be surprised how easy care it can be!
