5 Ways to Style a Gauze Table Runner for Different Wedding Themes

Gauze table runners are having a moment — and honestly, we’re not surprised. They’re lightweight, effortlessly romantic, and add instant texture to your wedding tables. Whether you're planning a beach ceremony or a luxe ballroom soirée, a gauze runner will slot perfectly into your vibe.

Here at The Wedding of My Dreams, we’ve got a gorgeous collection of cheesecloth  gauze table runners in dreamy shades like taupe, blue, and forest green, all designed to give your tables that effortlessly styled look (with zero stress).

 

So let’s talk about how to make the same gauze runner work for 5 very different wedding styles...


💒 1. Barn Wedding – Rustic Romance

If you’re tying the knot in a barn, you're probably going for that relaxed, rustic charm. Our white, taupe or green gauze runners are perfect here — soft, earthy, and beautifully understated.

Style Tip:
Scrunch it up slightly down the middle of your trestle tables (no ironing needed – win!) and layer it with bud vases, foliage, and chunky candlesticks. The texture of the gauze softens the wood and makes everything feel super cosy and intimate.

🏖️ 2. Beach Wedding – Laid-back & Breezy

Getting married by the sea? A gauze cheesecloth runner is basically made for a beach setting. It flows beautifully in the breeze and gives that relaxed, barefoot-in-the-sand vibe.

Style Tip:
Go for our blue gauze runner to tie in with the ocean, and pair it with driftwood, seashells, or neutral ceramics. Add candles in glass holders for a soft, beachy glow as the sun sets.

📸 Don’t forget the runner looks gorgeous fluttering gently in the breeze — fab photo moment!

3. Luxe Wedding – Elegant & Glam

Just because you’re going glam doesn’t mean you need to go over-the-top. A cheesecloth gauze runner brings softness and elegance to what might otherwise be a very polished table — and that contrast is chef’s kiss.

Style Tip:
Choose our forest green gauze runner and pair it with gold cutlery, clear glass candle holders and lanterns for that “luxe with an edge” feel. Add white roses for a splash of chic.

4. Tipi Wedding – Boho Meets Wild

Tipi weddings are all about those earthy, whimsical touches. Cheesecloth gauze table runners help soften the rustic wooden tables and add a bit of romance to your outdoor set-up.

Style Tip:
Try our white or coloured cheesecloth runners to create texture and dimension. Add wildflowers, amber glass bottles, and rattan chargers for that barefoot boho vibe. Don’t forget fairy lights overhead!

Go for our taupe or ivory gauze runner, styled smoothly down the centre of your round tables, topped with low floral centrepieces and elegant glassware. Layer with gold-rimmed tealight holders for added glow (we sell those too 😉).
