This was one of the ideas I was thinking about using at our wedding and honestly I think it looks great. Collecting a mismatch of plates gives such an interesting look to a table and can be used as the main theme of the decoration instead of the floral arrangements and linen. Although I have to say these plates would not be some that I would choose personally, the idea behind it is the same. Yes, it takes a little pre-thinking and organisation but the end result can be striking and on top of that, if you choose them well they can be kept after for your own dinnerware. I have been trying to persuade Jubbs to let me do this at home but he is convinced we already have too much 'stuff' in our house as it is. He may have a point but secretly I am already on the hunt!

What is great about the table design in this photo is; it shows what an array of textures, prints and colours can bring to a table. I love the use of succulents as the floral arrangements as they do not detract from the plates, the fact that they have also been displayed in a mishmash of pots and jugs just floats my boat!
So next time you are near a brik a brak shop or having a stroll up Portobello Road keep your eyes open for any cool dinnerware to start hoarding.
