Julie & Clark: The Linens

ClarksvilleBrides.com Featured Wedding: Julie & Clark

Julie & Clark reserved linens from Clarksville Linen Rental for their wedding day. "They rented eggplant overlays to go with their color scheme and they also rented white banquet chair covers for the chairs at their ceremony location. I suggested to Julie that she could ask some friends or family members to transport the chair covers to the reception site right after the ceremony. That way their chairs would be covered at both the ceremony and reception, but she would only have to rent one set of them. This is a great way to save money and there's usually plenty of time to move the chair covers, as the bridal party and family is usually taking photos right after the ceremony." -Danielle Lear, Clarksville Linen Rental
