Thinking of renting linens and bringing with me...

No problem, You would use the resort's plain linens then put a colored square over the top. From the guests view, siting down, all they will see is the color, not the white/ivory underneath.

Here's a really plain example:

I hope you find what you are looking for )

Erin,

yeah that is part of the problem, i think i have to solve the under linen problem b/c the resort's linen's don't go as long as the ones you are showing in the picture. i dug out the pics and uploaded for you.

here is a photo of where our reception is going to be - we are going to have the lanterns, etc but these are the white linens they have

here is a photo of one of the long tables with their linens (rehearsal dinner)

yeah what is up with the weird pink bear?

oooohhh thanks amy that is great!!

yeah i do too - definitely not trying to cover those up! i like the brown and the look of the wood

I agree, the chairs are so nice. So here's a thought. Is the wood on the tables in good condition? If so, would you consider (and would they allow you) to use a table runner? That might look very nice and save you a ton of money. You could probrably find some really nice runners at Peir One (I love that store).

That pic is stunning Amy! I was wondering about the table tops too...besides saving you money & space on tablecloths, runners would accent the wood nicely (and allow the chairs to match?) It would totally mesh well with the rustic/natural feeling your resort has.
