My Table is Prettier than Yours

“Whoa, this wedding between Arjun and Archana is amazing, but geez this tablecloth sucks!”

“I know, seriously, what loser thought white linen with embossed flowers was cute? Hello, this is a desi wedding!!!!”

Duh. It ain’t easy being an NRI. Unlike your 5^th cousin Niraj, you can’t have elephants, horses, and trumpet players in your wedding. And forget about dancing in the streets unless you have a permit. How on earth are you ever going to represent?

Well thank GOD, you at least have Magnolia Linens. Founded by mother-daughters team Anjum and her betis Asema and Talaiya, the 2 year old company has already been featured in Town and Country, collaborated with designer extrodinaire and Oprah BFF Colin Cowie, and several royal families (although they’re not saying who).

The elaborate linen tablecloths are the perfect solution when you don’t want boring old white. In fact the cloths are more sari-like then tablecloth-like. They come in colors such as royal blue, chocolate brown, are adorned with beading, crystals, and sequins galore!! Party time!!!

And the fun doesn’t end there. Napkin rings, candles, containers, and towels are just some of the other goodies Magnolia can help you with.

Your wedding will be sooooo much better than Archana’s.
