    We have 150 beautiful gold chargers for sale!  These pretty guys are acrylic, not metal which means they’re lightweight and easier to transport.  They are 13″ in diameter and fit a standard size dinner plate just perfectly.  They also work well underneath salad plates if you choose to have them removed after the first course.  They’re not dishwasher safe but they will be clean and ready to go for you. Here they are all set up at Erin & Christian’s wedding in June: And a close-up: The whole lot is $250 which falls slightly less than $1.75 each.  This is a GREAT deal consideri...

    We love Michaela and Lotta’s work philosophy. Design, create and decorate for one reaction: Hey Look! Hence their company’s name, HEY LOOK. They were sweet enough to pass along their talents to share with y’all, and seeing as we’re only 8 days closer to Christmas, um, we think it’s safe to say that we all need as much help as we can get stat! These ladies are delivering the cutest glitzy and modern gift wrap inspiration around. We’ll let them take it from here!

    Trying this blogging from my phone again. I just had to show off this wonderful DIY project from my May bride Sabrina. A few weeks ago I showed off Sabrina and Peter’s engagement session and I wanted to give some sneak peeks from their day as we get closer. Sabrina is a graphic artist and is making sure that no detail will be left out of her big day. Although I will not reveal the overall table look, I just had to show off these menus that will be placed on the chargers. I just love how it looks like the menu is engraved in the actual charger. ...

    I have to let you in on a little secret:  We love charger plates!  Not only do they add fabulosity to any table design, but they provide great protection for your linen!  Which, by the way, is a HUGE bonus if you’ve shelled out big bucks to rent fantastic linen!  What may seem to some as a needless expense can end up saving you from hefty cleaning & damage fees later on. There are so many options out there for chargers – no longer are you restricted to silver or gold!  Here are some that caught our eye this week, plus some stunning table designs with chargers! {images via pr...

    A few years back I started to notice, and then crave, the rich warm glow of gold - in jewelry, in design, in little touches of color all around. To this day I still wear at least a touch of it all the time instead of the silver I used to love, and I especially adore what it can do for the environments we build for weddings and celebrations! LunaBazaar.com (One of our fabulous blog sponsors) has a fantastic selection of wedding decor items that make the most of gold's classic yet exotic feel. These selections of colorful glass candle holders gilded with gold would make incredible accents fo...

    Photo: Grazier Photography This week's wedding hairstyle inspiration comes from a real bride (it was one of our favorite wedding hairstyle ideas of 2010)—Emily accented her classically romantic updo with a gold ribbon headband and vintage brooch for her Boston wedding. (See the front angle here.) Some readers have recently been asking where Emily found her hair accessories, so I'd thought I'd share her resources: She found the vintage gold brooch at 20th Century Ltd., a vintage store in Boston. To find a similar options, try searching "gold leaf vintage brooches" on Etsy ...

    Chargers are “plates” that are not meant to be eaten off of and are placed at each place setting as purely a decorative item. Chargers are usually removed prior to serving. At times, the appetizer course may be served on the charger but is then removed prior to serving the main course. Having a charger at each place setting completes the look of your table nicely. Chargers are also called underplates, chop plate, service plate, show plate (the name I was first taught years ago in banquets) or base plate.

    I loved the great metallic charges in this morning’s Inspired Creations entry from Bella Rains Garden Studio and Lavender & Twine. Roya of Bella Rains Garden Studio took an inexpensive plastic charger (easily found at places like Marshall’s, TJMaxx and HomeGoods) and created something really beautiful with the simplest of DIY projects. Use this idea for weddings, dinner parties or for pretty holiday entertaining. Supplies: plastic chargers 1 can floral spray paint, Brilliant Silver 1 bottle Modge Podge, satin 1 bottle Martha Stewart fine glitter, Hematite 1 small craft brush 1. Out...
