Bencher, Navy Blue and Silver Embellished Bi-Fold #157

Navy blue with silver embellishment, cut with a deliberately vintage feel — #157 is the darker, more formal end of the bencher range. The silver work sits against the navy rather than covering it, so the cover holds its shape as a color block from across the room, which matters when three hundred of them are lined up at place settings. It is a laminated bi-fold at 4.5 by 6.25.

The inside is worth mentioning on this one: the lettering is set large and clean, the kind a guest can follow without holding it up to the candle. Benching and sheva brochos are both printed, so it does double duty at a wedding and at every seudah of the week that follows. Choose Nusach Ashkenaz or Eduth Mizrach when you order.

Navy and silver is a safe pairing when you do not yet know the hall's linens — it works against white, against silver chargers and against a dark cloth equally well. For a chosson and kallah ordering their own sheva brochos benchers, this is usually the first one pulled off the shelf of samples.
