Square Payette Sequin Event Linens

Square payette sequin linens are covered in large 18mm square metallic sequins stitched onto a mesh backing, so they catch light and move as the fabric drapes. This CV Linens™ collection includes rectangular tablecloths, table runners, drape and backdrop panels, and fabric bolts in the same sequin style. Choose a runner for a small accent, a tablecloth to cover a whole table, or backdrop panels for a photo wall or head table.

What Makes Square Payette Sequins Different

Payette sequins are larger than standard sequins, and each one is attached at a single point instead of being sewn flat. That lets the sequins swing slightly and follow the fabric's folds, which gives the surface movement and a lot of reflected light under venue lighting. The square shape adds a more geometric, modern look than round sequins.

Because the sequins hang loosely, you may notice areas where the mesh shows through. That's normal for this style. Smooth the sequins with your hand so they lie flat and cover the gap.

Shop by Product Type

1. Rectangular Tablecloths: These cover a full banquet table in sequins. The 90" x 156" size is seamless with squared corners and reaches the floor on all sides of a standard 8 ft (96" x 30") table that's 30" high, which hides the table legs completely. Start with the 90" x 156" Silver square payette sequin tablecloth, a good fit for head tables, cake tables, and gift tables. This size is too long for a 6 ft table and will pool on the floor.
2. Table Runners: Runners add a strip of sequins down the center of a table without the cost of a full sequin tablecloth. Each runner measures about 13" x 108", so it hangs about 6" past each end of an 8 ft table and about 18" past each end of a 6 ft table. Lay the Gold square payette sequin table runner over a solid white, black, or ivory tablecloth to add shine to guest tables on a budget.
3. 12 ft Drape and Backdrop Panels: These panels are 12 ft tall and 52" wide, with a 4" rod pocket at the top that slides onto a crossbar. Each order quantity is one panel, so buy as many as you need to cover your width. The 12 ft Gold square payette sequin backdrop panel works well behind a head table, stage, or dessert display in a room with higher ceilings.
4. 10 ft Drape and Backdrop Panels: The 10 ft panels have the same 52" width and 4" rod pocket in a shorter height for standard rooms and photo booths. The 10 ft Silver square payette sequin backdrop panel is a practical choice for quinceañeras, bridal showers, and milestone birthdays.
5. Fabric Bolts: If you need a custom size, fabric bolts give you about 50" x 10 yards (30 ft) of the same sequin material. Use it to make custom tablecloths, cake table skirts, backdrops, ceiling accents, or bouquet wraps. The 10-yard Gold square payette sequin fabric bolt is the most flexible option for DIY decorators.

Need sequin linens for round tables? Our large payette sequin tablecloths come in round sizes and use round sequins instead of square ones.

How to Choose the Right Piece

• For a small budget or many tables: Use runners over solid tablecloths. You get sequin shine on every table for a fraction of the cost of full sequin tablecloths.
• For one focal table: Use a full rectangular sequin tablecloth on the head table, sweetheart table, or cake table, and keep guest tables simpler.
• For photos: Backdrop panels give you a sparkling background for photo walls and head tables. Pick 10 ft panels for standard ceilings and 12 ft panels for taller spaces.
• For custom shapes: Buy a fabric bolt when your table, stage, or display doesn't match a standard size.

How many backdrop panels do you need? Divide your backdrop width in inches by 52. For a flat 10 ft (120") backdrop, you need 3 panels. For a gathered, fuller look, plan on more. Our linen size guide includes a drape calculator that factors in fullness.

How to Style Square Payette Sequins

Sequins reflect a lot of light, so they work best when the rest of the table stays simple. Here are a few ways to balance the look:

• Pair with solid linens. Put sequin runners over matte or satin tablecloths in white, black, or ivory so the sequins stand out.
• Add metallic place settings. Gold or silver charger plates repeat the sequin's shine at each seat without adding more texture.
• Keep centerpieces clean. Choose centerpieces with simple shapes, such as crystal, acrylic, or floral arrangements, so the table doesn't look crowded.
• Carry the color to the chairs. Chair linens such as sashes and bands in a matching shade tie your seating to the sequin tables and backdrop.
• Match metals across the room. Use the same sequin color on your backdrop and head table, such as gold with gold, so the room looks planned and cohesive in photos.

Care, Handling, and Storage

Sequin linens need gentler care than polyester or satin. Follow the care instructions on each product page:

• Tablecloths, runners, and fabric bolts: Do not machine wash or dry clean. Wipe spills with a soft, damp cloth.
• Drape and backdrop panels: Spot clean only.
• Heat: Don't iron sequin linens or expose them to direct heat, which can damage the sequins.
• Stains: Blot spills right away instead of rubbing, which can loosen sequins or spread the stain.
• Storage: Store sequin linens clean and fully dry in a breathable bag. Avoid stacking heavy items on top.

Buying for Decorators, Rentals, and Venues

Every piece in this collection is sold individually, so decorators and rental businesses can buy a few runners or panels in one color and add more as clients ask for them. Backdrop panels are especially useful for inventory because the same panels work for weddings, quinceañeras, birthdays, and corporate events.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is it cheaper to buy square payette sequin linens than rent them?

For many events, yes. At the time of writing, the gold square payette sequin table runner is $7.98, so runners for 20 tables cost about $160 before tax, and that order qualifies for free shipping. You keep the runners afterward, so you can reuse them for future events or resell them. When you compare, ask rental companies whether their quote includes cleaning, delivery, and damage fees.

Will payette sequins look patchy?

Because each sequin hangs from one point, you may see small areas where the mesh shows through, especially along folds and edges. Smooth the sequins with your hand so they lie flat and cover the gaps. The loose attachment is also what lets the sequins move and catch light.

What size sequin tablecloth do I need for an 8 ft table?

The 90" x 156" square payette sequin tablecloth reaches the floor on all sides of a standard 8 ft banquet table that's 30" high. On a 6 ft table, that size is too long and will pool on the floor.

How do I clean sequin tablecloths and backdrops?

Don't machine wash or dry clean them. For tablecloths, runners, and fabric bolts, wipe spills with a soft, damp cloth. For drape and backdrop panels, spot clean only. Avoid irons and direct heat.

Are the backdrop panels flame retardant?

The product pages for these panels don't list a flame-retardant rating or certification. If your venue requires flame-retardant drapery, contact our customer care team before you order.
