When planning a wedding, couples often look for meaningful details that will last beyond the big day. Linens - whether napkins, handkerchiefs, or table runners - are both functional and an opportunity to elevate your decor. Gigi & Oli can persoanlise our high-quality linens so they can be cherished for years, serving as a reminder of a special moment.
Wedding Linens That Last: Personalised Keepsakes
Linens play a key role in wedding aesthetics. They add texture, elegance, and a sense of occasion to the table settings and accessories. With the ability to add fun motif, embroidery, or special details, linens become unique mementos that both couples and guests can treasure long after the event.
A handkerchief is a classic wedding accessory, perfect for bridal party or close family members. Whether tucked into a suit pocket or as a favour, a soft linen handkerchief with custom embroidery adds a sweet touch. Many couples choose to embroider their wedding date, initials, or a short message, creating a keepsake that can even be framed in a future home. Our favourite remains the Something Blue Handkerchief as a pre-wedding gift for the Bride.
Custom napkins elevate any table setting while also making a thoughtful favor. Choose from a coloured scalloped edge or a more traditional hemstitch. Embroidered with initials, names or a short phrase, these napkins offer a refined way to add personality to a wedding table or a bridal shower. Our array of napkin colour options or accents can easily complement the rest of your decor such as the popular pistachio shade.
A well-chosen table runner or placemat can set the tone for a beautiful wedding tablescape. However, if you want to take your decor one step further, beautifully draped linen tablecloths are becoming increasing popular. One of the most creative and timless uses of linen we've noticed recently is the use of hanging seating charts that tie into the spirit of the surroundings.
To preserve these special pieces made with 100% washed linen - gentle care is essential. Unlike many wedding details that fade into memory, linens offer a tangible connection to the day. They can be reused, repurposed, or even handed down. Whether it’s a beautifully embroidered napkin or a fun monogrammed handkerchief, these pieces remain a subtle yet lasting tribute to the wedding day.
