Tables were initially covered by tablecloths to make them look presentable. This was especially for a certain occasion or event. They came in different colors and were chosen depending on different tastes and preference of people. That era of table cloths has been masked by vintage floral table runners. These are thin or medium sized strips of cloth which are placed on the tables.

They come in a range of colors, especially bright ones. Examples of most common colors are, red, green, purple, pink, blue and white among others. The type of color chosen should match the occasion and the theme of the day. Brightly colored runners are suited for weddings and engagement parties. They make the mood lively and thus give the event the light it deserves.

The designs can be customized and could perfectly suit church events or marriages, engagement parties or marriage anniversaries. For a wedding and anniversaries, they could be designed to bear the names of couples. They could even suit birthdays whereby the name the birthday holder is inscribed on them.

The shapes of the flowers are designed in a manner that suggests a feeling or an event. The pattern could be made in the form of a heart which would signify love. This is perfect for an engagement party or the celebration of a marriage anniversary. It ignites the love the couples feel for each other, especially if the colors used in the pattern involve red.

There is a wide range of material to choose from which ranges from cotton, silk, polyester, satin, damask and velvet. The materials are strong and highly durable and have a long life.
