Table Skirts

A table skirt is a decorative covering for a side table, end table etc. Unlike a tablecloth, a table skirt may or may not cover the top of a table and a table skirt drapes to the floor. They are generally gathered or frilled. These table skirts are often used for the purpose of decoration, but they also have a few very practical and useful purposes as well. Table skirts consist of two parts, the cloth tabletop and a skirt that fastens to the table edge with clips and hangs to the length of table from all around.

There are different materials used to manufacture plastic table skirts, some of the very common ones are-

Plastic Skirting-Available in just about any color and commonly found in the length of 14-15 feet. They are just attached to the banquets tables at their edges with sticking tapes.

Tissue Skirting- Tissue fringe skirting that trims the edge of the table but does not extend to the floor can be a less expensive alternative.

Metallic Skirting-Metallic fringe skirting can be found in a variety of bright colors and are used to give out a greater festive appearance to the set up.

Decorative Wrap Skirting-A more expensive example of table skirting. This product offers a theme or holiday-specific alternative to traditional plastic skirting.

Like mentioned before, these table skirts come in different types of gathers or plates. They are called, Knife pleats, Box pleats and French box pleats. The objective to have them thickly gathered or pleated is to make the table look dressy. Also the tables used for such occasions by the decorators are just simple wooden planks attached and four wooden posts as legs; sometimes they may not even be polished. Such skirts draped along the sides of such tables in the entirety of the length make them look very neat and stylish. A table skirt is also a good way to utilize furniture that may have worn out yet sturdy. By simply covering a table with a table skirt that blends with the drapery or other upholstery in the room, this unused table can be given new life altogether without having to buy another one.

Table skirting can enliven any party or social function like wedding receptions, business conferences or holiday celebrations. They are relatively inexpensive; and skirting is used instead of table linen. From plastic to lace, and metallic to paper, table skirting can enhance a theme or carry out a color scheme beautifully enough to add a grandeur to the ambience of your party venue.
