The first thing I notice when perusing wedding photos online is the tableware. The right kind can really set the decor and the look of the room; it all flows seamlessly. Here are my favourite tableware choices from my own search for the perfect table setting:
We’ve seen the gold charger plate a thousand times, but what really caught my attention was a) the menu font and b) the gold napkin ring creating a “bow” like effect withe napkin.
Although not a piece of tableware per se, I love the detail of the chicken graphic on the place card to indicate to the server that the guest in that spot has chosen the chicken entree. I have been mulling over ways to not have to print CHICKEN or FISH or VEGETARIAN at the bottom of my own place cards, and if you can get away with a graphic instead I say go for it!
I know I’m completely biased when it comes to this next image. I love the blown glass charger plates they’ve chosen. And if they didn’t move my budget up into the range of ridiculous I would have chosen them myself. But the focus of this picture is the cutlery. Gold cutlery creates a look all its own and I think when done well is much more beautiful than silver.
Silver charger plates on a blush table cloth are gorgeous. The added touch of clear glasses blend this look together perfectly. A very Shabby Chic/Rustic wedding with the right amount of rustic added by the chairs. Sometimes its nice to see a rustic wedding sans burlap.
If you have the time and the patience, this idea is really awesome. The plates have been hand written with a sharpie or a paint pen. What really makes this look is the tablecloth that has been placed over a wooden table. Amazing detail and a really unique look. If you are attempting this for your own wedding – best of luck and I hope your guest list is under 200!
