I think an easy way to dress up your table, add colour and make it look elegant without breaking the bank is to put ribbons around the napkins. Since I’ve decide on a gold theme, I’m going to have gold ribbons around the napkins. The only problem with a colour like gold is that you have to make sure it doesnt come across gaudy. I took inspiration from the first picture in this box below:

For a more gold theme: 

Most ribbon companies sell these ribbons for a pricey £2 a meter. In that case, I suggest going for bulk orders of around 50 meters because you’ll have enough for 125 guests (what Im aiming for) and if you have extra, you can use it to wrap Christmas presents. When I was at the Dragon Mart in Dubai, they were selling ribbons which were 10 meters long for about £2 which is a really good deal. Perhaps I can get a cousin to mail them form Hong Kong since you get much better value for money. 

The wedding shop Confetti recommends ‘for a sophisticated touch, tie stain or chiffon ribbon around a crisp white napkin and add feathers or trims for extra decoration’

My fiance also suggested personalised ribbons. These would be more expensive but adds a very personal touch:

I know they are used here for favour boxes but surely you can wrap your napkins in them too. 

On another note (literally) is it just me or does anyone else like listening to wedding music when they are researching wedding stuff? Try it - it will get you in the mood!
