Best Wedding Linen Rentals

Based in Napa, California, La Tavola is the go-to specialty linen rental company for weddings and events. That’s thanks to an impressive array of luxury tablecloths, napkins, runners, lounge accessories, and chair cushions—plus top-notch customer service, reliable delivery, and easy prepaid returns.

La Tavola has dozens of collections in fabrics such as cotton, silk, linen, velvet, and brocade. The price per linen depends on the material and size (as determined by the size and shape of your tables). For example, a rustic linen tablecloth from the Tuscany collection ranges from about $39 to $69, whereas an embellished pattern from the Dolce collection costs roughly $45 to $135.

The company services both couples and the event trade (wedding planners and event designers who place orders on behalf of couples) at its nationwide showrooms, where you can browse linen styles in-person and conduct tabletop mock-ups before finalizing a selection. (If you don’t live near a showroom, there’s the option to request mailed fabric swatches.)

The standard rental period is three business days (meaning linens arrive one business day before the wedding and are returned one business day after it’s over), but couples with. a destination wedding can request an extended window for a fee. Rental fees include the cost of cleaning; taxes and shipping are additional and vary based on the destination. Returns couldn’t be easier: Simply toss your used linens in the heavy-duty canvas bag La Tavola provides, attach the pre-paid return label, and drop off or schedule a pick-up with the carrier.

Founded in 1983, BBJ Linen has the breadth and depth of styles that design-savvy couples dream about. Whether you’re looking for a mod-luxe pearlescent satin or romantic floral-print cotton, BBJ has you (and your tables) covered. 

Its custom-designed linens come in a wide variety of colors, textures, and patterns—all beautifully constructed with that perfect, clean-lined drape. Classic cotton styles start around $10 per tablecloth, while specialty items, like a lace tabletop overlay, can cost upwards of $100 for a rectangular table that seats 10 to 12 guests.

Stressing over which mauve or taupe napkins match your color palette? BBJ’s team of design experts can help you nail your wedding decor and select the perfect complementary linen from thousands of choices. The company also has full-service production teams that can assist with set-up and break-down on the Big Day.

Couples can see and touch linens in-person at one of about 12 nationwide showrooms. Those located outside a major metro area have the option to request swatches and set up a virtual design consultation. Orders can be placed in-person, by phone, or by online live chat. Linens are sent via UPS and are returned, unwashed, in the provided bag via prepaid shipping label.

Founded in 2004, Nüage Designs has become a go-to for wedding planners and event designers looking to source something extra-special for their clients. We’re talking tablecloths made from pin-tucked tulle, quilted leather, and pattern-embroidered sequins.

Nüage’s collection spans multiple categories, from table coverings to pillows, placemats to chargers. Expect prices to increase as fabrics become more luxe; for example, a 108-inch round tablecloth in Lamour satin costs about $30, whereas a modern white lace is $95 for the same size.

Instagram-obsessed couples will appreciate partnerships with event influencers, like invitation designer Ceci Johnson of Ceci New York, who created a capsule collection that translates her signature style into custom linens. Those in the Chicago and Miami metro areas will welcome the fact that the company also rents furniture through its sister brand, Nüvole Collection.

Couples (and/or their planner) can place an order during a scheduled visit at one of their showrooms or secure their linens by phone, email, or directly on the company website. Expect your linens to arrive one business day before the event via UPS Ground or expedited service; after the wedding, simply pack linens in the reusable duffel bag and return via prepaid label.

For countless couples, a custom linen is not only a way to personalize your reception decor, but also invest in your future married home; those monogrammed napkins, printed tablecloths, or sterling silver napkin rings become the foundation for your dinner party arsenal.

Pioneer Linens is a family-owned and operated store in West Palm Beach, Florida, with over 100 years of experience sourcing specialty tabletop linens, luxury bedding, home decor, and more. Each of the styles you’ll find on its website—from Amanda Lindroth block-printed tablecloths to Kim Seybert linen napkins and Deborah Rhodes decorative napkin rings—make for investment-worthy reception upgrades.

While purchasing linens or shelling out for custom embroidery isn’t right for every couple, it can be ideal for those planning a micro-wedding or an intimate reception. Buying tabletop goods allows you to incorporate designs from any home decor company as well as create a hyper-personalized look with custom embroidery or screen-printing (think: your wedding crest beautifully transformed onto runners and napkins). But be sure to plan ahead: Custom orders should be placed at least 12 weeks in advance of the wedding.
