How to Stand Out on Your Wedding Day

One Place Setting at a Time

The Ladies Who Dish say...

We are the "Ladies Who Dish", and do we have the scoop on wedding tablescapes. Our goal is to always have your tablescapes reflect YOU. You will be the star when your reception compliments you. Dish & Decor doesn't stand on rules or protocol.  We do the extraordinary one place setting at a time.

Customize and personalize your wedding day.

  • We can start with your favorite color, if you like. If the color you love is not something you might typically see at a wedding, no worries!  We will work that color into your reception tables. Maybe your favorite color compliments or matches the attendants' dresses. Or if you have a vibe like boho, cottage core, or minimalist modern, we can go from there.
  • ​If you love a specific pattern, object or flower, let's include it. The whole point of your reception should be a place where guests walk in and feel your presence. The ones who know you and love you will say, "Oh my goodness, this is soooo them!" Or "I know exactly why they chose those colors!" We had a bride who loved sunflowers. Those were incorporated with touches of our amber rentals, and the guests knew this was her.
  • Together we can express your personalities by creating layers of mismatched or patterned plates and colorful glassware, which adds depth, sparkle and interest to the tables AND to your wedding day photographs. Our glassware comes in every color of the rainbow that you have to see to believe.

​Bride, you need to stand out!

Another consideration is the color and the lighting already existing in the venue. If your venue is mostly white, the linens and plates are white, and the glasses are clear, you, the bride, will look like part of the upholstery.  Sorry, but it's true. No white on white for you. You do not want to be a blended-in bride on your wedding day. You want to contrast with the environment. The best way to achieve this is to pull in a little or a lot of color through the linens, glassware and plates. Check out our collections and photo gallery to see what we mean.

​What to expect at your consultation...

At your consultation, we typically start with the table linens. Brides-to-be's often want to avoid white table linens. However, they typically start with an ivory tablecloth on their reception tables thinking that is better than white.  We will show you how that color can actually look yellow. Unless you are in love with yellow, we will lay a tan or latte colored table linen on the design table, so you can see the difference. We play with the linen color swatches until you know exactly which color feels right. Then we layer on all types of chargers, plates, glasses and flatware. ​

Please don't be surprised if what you thought you wanted is not what you end up choosing. Many times, a bride or couple comes in thinking they want one thing, but they end up creating something uniquely special that they had never thought of. That is the beauty of our business. You don't know what you don't know until you come in and see all that we have to offer. Or maybe you have a wedding binder ready to show us and know exactly what you envision.  We can make that come true. 

For example, we had a bride recently come in wanting pink, pink, and more pink. Pink is actually very beautiful for a wedding. As the couple looked around our stocked Design Center, her eye was drawn to our navy-blue goblets. I placed those on the table.  Then they spotted our blue and white bread and butter plates.  She felt those would be great for the olive oil since the groom is Italian.  The more they talked, the more they realized that they wanted to embrace the Italian culture and pull in the blues.  The pink idea went by the wayside, and that was ok.  They found their vision. It represented them! And their guests will recognize that! 

There really is no rental company like us. 

Let us help you create all the "Feels" on your wedding day!
