I spent four hours picking china patterns when registering before my wedding and I still left the store wanting to return the next day. There is so much beauty to be set at the table as well as so many conversations, laughs, and memories to be made. As you pair crystal with porcelain you envision all the holidays you’ll host and parties you’ll have so the selections feel very personal and important. Unlike selecting the items on your registry, your wedding reception is likely one tablescape you will never fully recreate again making every small detail have added significance.

It’s like what Maya Angelous says, “I’ve learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.” Well, I believe a well dressed table makes people feel extra special. From linen selection to floor layout to floral arrangements, the opportunities for unique creations are endless. We’ve gathered a few memorable tables that made us feel special even just documenting! We hope this inspires you as you dream about your perfect wedding place setting.
