Mix and Match Magic

Creating Unique Tableware Combinations for Your Event

When it comes to hosting a memorable event, the details matter. From the décor to the food, every element contributes to the overall ambiance and experience. One often overlooked aspect is tableware. Instead of sticking to conventional matching sets, why not unleash your creativity and create unique tableware combinations that add an extra touch of magic to your event? We will explore the art of mixing and matching tableware to create stunning and personalized settings that will leave your guests in awe.

1.  Embrace Eclectic Elegance: Gone are the days when tableware had to be uniform and matching. Embracing eclectic elegance allows you to play with different colors, patterns, and textures. Start by selecting a few key elements such as charger plates, dinner plates, and salad plates. Mix different designs, colors, and materials to create a visually intriguing combination. For example, pairing our Rattan White Washed Charger Plate with Italian Designed Fleur De Lys plate ware can create a charming and elegant look.

2. Unleash the Power of Contrasts: Contrasting elements can add drama and sophistication to your table setting. Experiment with combining dark and light tones, matte and glossy finishes, or different shapes and sizes. For instance, juxtaposing black and gold accents with crisp white plates can create a striking and luxurious ambiance. Don't be afraid to think outside the box and push the boundaries of traditional aesthetics. Our most popular collection - The Roda Collection adds texture, contrast and sophistication to many of our Kelowna events. Pair the Black Roda Charger with our White Roda Dinnerware and Gold Cutlery for an awe inspiring look.

3. Play with Textures and Materials: Tableware is not limited to porcelain or fine china. Incorporating different textures and materials can add a unique touch to your event. Mix ceramic, glass, wood, and metal elements to create a visually interesting and tactile experience. Combine smooth plates with textured linens or layer rustic rattan chargers with delicate glassware for an organic and charming look.

   For your Bohemian Wedding or Vintage Wedding, explore mixing our Boho Seagrass Charger Plate with the Patterned Augusta Collection. Add the ribbed glassware and brushed black cutlery to really enhance the bohemian event trends. 

4. Find a Common Theme: To maintain a cohesive look, find a common theme that ties your tableware combinations together. This could be a specific color palette, a seasonal theme, or even a cultural influence. For example, you could opt for a modern & elegant theme and combine classic Portugese dinnerware with Modern Gusto Glassware and Silver high end flatware. This thematic approach helps create a harmonious overall look, even when different elements are mixed.

   Looking at incorporating a Rustic or Country themed event for your Venue in Kamloops, Salmon Arm, Armstrong, or Vernon? Adding color with some Amber or Blue Goblets with our Blue China Plateware will enhance your theme. 

5.  Personalize with Details: Adding personal touches to your tableware combinations can make your event feel more intimate and special. Consider incorporating personalized place cards, customized napkin rings, or even handcrafted elements. Small details like these can make a big impact and create a lasting impression on your guests.

Creating unique tableware combinations is an opportunity to infuse your personality, style, and creativity into your event. By embracing eclectic elegance, experimenting with contrasts, playing with textures and materials, finding a common theme, and adding personalized details, you can craft a table setting that becomes a memorable centerpiece for your gathering. Remember, the key is to have fun and let your imagination guide you. So, go ahead and mix and match your way to a truly magical and unforgettable event!
