Create a Color Scheme

The foundation of any beautiful table setting is a cohesive color scheme. Start by choosing a palette that reflects the theme and mood of your wedding. Consider the season, venue, and your personal preferences. Whether you opt for classic whites and golds, bold jewel tones, or soft pastels. Neutrals are a timeless choice that will lend a clean and contemporary aesthetic. However, don't shy away from color! Bright pops of color featured over bold prints can be used to create an eclectic vibe. Or, go for a classically romantic setting starring soft pastel shades.

Design an Impressive Stack

Creating an elegant stack with your china and chargers is an art form. Each layer should complement the others in both color and style. This not only adds elegance to your table but also serves as a practical way to organize the different courses of your meal. We recommend starting with your Dinner China. Most people choose to feature a simple or subtle plate, such as the Lucia Collection. Meanwhile, Salad or Desert Plates can be used to make a statement. A feat that is easy to achieve with bold prints like Corsica or Havana. Finally, consider the impact of a metallic or textured wedding charger rentals. Pieces like the Hammered Silver or Natural Rattan will ensure you stack stands out on top of the table linens.

Accessorize Your Settings

Flatware, glassware, and napkins – these are components that can be used to accessorize and elevate your table. Start by selecting flatware that complements your color scheme, or ties into metallics featured in your place settings. You might consider rentals with a more unique design if your goal is a contemporary look. This also applies to glassware, where quirky shapes or colors lend a luxurious vibe. Take for example, the Gatsby Wine Glass or Henderson Goblet. Lastly, have fun with napkins! It's easy to create a chic monochromatic aesthetic, or be bold and add a pop of color.

Layer Your Linens

Linens play a crucial role in setting the tone for your wedding table. Aside from the colors you feature, different materials will add depth and texture. Creating a more visually appealing and sophisticated table setting. Start with a base tablecloth, then add a table runner or overlay for added dimension.

A look that is easy to create when you top our Panama or Rattan linens with a soft runner that falls to the floor.
