If you were asked to give a list of decor that would make a stunning wedding tablescape; you might reply with florals, centerpieces, candlesticks, votives, etc. If that is your list, you aren’t wrong and those are all beautiful elements, but not the only options. One tip we always share with clients is that when you invest in quality items for your place settings (goblets, plates, flatware, napkins) they will do the heavy lifting of decorating your reception for you! Since every guest has a place setting, those elements are repeated throughout the reception, and make a big impact on the visual impression that will hit you and your guests when you first walk in.

Kennedy & Jacob’s beautiful, Autumnal wedding is the perfect example of the impact beautiful place settings have on the final design. Notice how the amber goblets catch the light and jump out in every photo. Notice how the varied designs on the eclectic cream & gold china plates catch your attention when you look down on the tablescape. The gold elements in the china, chargers, and flatware create a warm ambiance that permeates the entire design. Place settings play a practical role in providing the utensils you and your guests need to eat and drink, but they can also play a vital decor role when you pick out the right pieces!
