Going Platinum

Wouldn't this table setting be fabulous at your next special event?

The (engravable) decanter(s), ice bucket(s), and nut bowl(s) could also be used for a flower arrangement.

Too Much On My Plate

Each guest of the bride & groom of Big Sur Wedding had a unique vintage plate at his or her place setting. She collected over a hundred plates for her guests.

I love this idea! And the color scheme possibilities are endless. For a smaller party, you could select a specific plate for each individual based on their personality or your relationship.

Check out the rest of her charming wedding on her blog.
