Silver table runners for weddings: dark cloth or white
Our listing is plain about where a silver runner works: down the centre of a dressed table, and best on dark or plain linen, where the contrast is strongest. Black, navy, charcoal or a deep grey cloth makes the metallic strip stand out; a white and silver table runner pairing is quieter, and suits a christening, a baby shower or a winter-white wedding. Patterned cloths fight it. A metallic surface catches whatever light there is, so under candles or fairy lights the runner reads brighter than the linen around it. That is the point of it.
How long is a silver table runner?
We have not published the length of ours, so here is the trade picture. TableclothsFactory, a US linen retailer, says most of its sparkly runners measure 12 by 108 inches, which is about 30 cm wide and 2.74 m long. It suggests letting a runner hang 6 to 10 inches (15 to 25 cm) over each end of the table, never to the floor, or laying it flush with no overhang for a modern look.
Set that 2.74 m length on our tables and the sums are easy. A dressed rectangle table is 1.8 m long, so a runner that size would leave about 46 cm at each end, more than the guide suggests; on a 1.5 m round table it would cross the top with about 60 cm to spare on each side. Ask us and we measure the runners booked for your date before you decide how they lie.
How many silver runners for your guests
One per table, as our planner counts. For 100 guests at ten-seat rectangle tables that is 10 runners, KSh 2,000. At eight-seat rounds the same 100 guests need 13 tables and so 13 runners, KSh 2,600. A long banquet run is different: tables pushed end to end, with runners laid one after another down the middle. Four rectangle tables in a row make a top table about 7.2 m long. Send us the layout and we count it.
Silver, gold or a plain colour?
Gold runners are KSh 200 each and plain ones KSh 300 each, so the choice comes down to the scheme. Gold table runners are listed for warm schemes with gold Chiavari chairs and champagne linen. Silver belongs with cool colours: white, grey, navy, black and ice blue. For a colour that is not metallic at all, cheesecloth runners in your colour come in a standard range. For a silver table runner and napkins that match, add cloth napkins in navy or royal blue, or place mats under each plate, and the rest of the dressing is on the table linens and dressing page.
Candles and wax
A runner sits right where the centrepiece and the candles go. Wax that drips onto it may not clean out, and our damage terms charge replacement for a runner that cannot be cleaned. Candles in holders or glass sleeves keep the wax off the fabric. Ordinary wear, crumbs and a spilt drink are covered by our normal cleaning.

Questions about this item
No questions yet. Ask anything — sizes, colours, how many you need for your guests, delivery to your area. We answer here, usually within a day.
How reviews work on Sherehe
- Every review is read by our team. We publish good and bad reviews alike — a low star rating is never a reason to hold one back.
- If we have not got to it, a review publishes by itself after 2 days — unless it contains a link, a phone number or words that need a look. Photos always wait for a person.
- Confirmed hire means we matched the review to a real Sherehe booking.
- If we ever correct a review — for example to remove a phone number — it says Edited by Sherehe.
- Nobody is paid or given a discount for a review. If that ever changes, the review will say so.
- Reviewers' contact details are never shown. Visitors can report anything that breaks these rules; reported items go back to our team.
Silver runner questions
How much do silver table runners cost to hire?
KSh 200 each for 24 hours, laid by our crew. Ten runners come to KSh 2,000 and twenty to KSh 4,000; transport is added by distance, and a 50% deposit holds the date.
Is it a silver sequin table runner?
Our listing describes a metallic silver runner. If you need sequins specifically, ask and we confirm the finish of the runners free on your date.
Do you have extra long silver table runners for a banquet table?
A long table takes several runners laid end to end. Send us the length of the run and we count them.
Can I hire the table and cloth too?
Yes. Our dressed round and rectangle tables come with a cloth; add a runner to each.
Will the colours match the photos exactly?
Very closely, but we would rather be honest about the small print of physical materials. Fresh flowers are natural products and vary slightly in colour, size and shape between batches. Balloon shades vary a little between manufacturers and production runs. And colours on a phone or laptop screen are never a perfect match for the same colour in daylight — that one catches people out more than anything else. Custom designs also need a degree of creative interpretation. Where a particular flower, colour or décor item becomes unavailable we will propose an equivalent, and anything materially different we discuss with you first. For custom boards, signs and printing, please check the proof carefully — once you have approved it, an error in the approved information may cost extra to reproduce.
What happens if something gets damaged or goes missing?
Tell us straight away — do not try to fix it or set it aside quietly, because that usually makes it worse. Ordinary wear and tear is expected and is never charged. Beyond that, you are responsible for loss or damage while items are in your care: broken chairs, tables or glassware, damaged décor, burns, torn fabric, permanent staining, lost cushions, missing tent components, and damage caused by guests or by moving things without permission. Where something is repairable we charge the reasonable repair cost; where it is lost or beyond economical repair, the reasonable replacement cost. We can provide photographic or inventory evidence where it is needed.
