“Something borrowed, something blue”–Enjoy this masterclass in monochromatic pairings with our most requested rental patterns in resplendent shades of bridal blue.
For all of the events leading up to the big day, from engagement drinks to rehearsal dinners, or simply a series of plated service throughout one extravagant wedding weekend, we have just the plate to take your stacks to the next level. But don’t just take our word for it when you can see it firsthand in a sneak peek from luxury event planner Jordan Payne Events. Without further adieu, let’s spin some plates.
THE FOCAL POINT | A SEATED DINNER PLACE SETTING with GINORI PERVINCA and MOTTAHEDEH LACE
If you are new here, it won’t take you long to find out that we have long had a love affair with the Ginori 1735 Oriente Italiano Collection–specifically in the iconic shade of Periwinkle Blue. We offer this stunning wedding day in charger, dinner plate, and salad plate for full service satisfaction. However, we do love that this harmonious shade of periwinkle loves to play well with our other patterns. For this wedding reception at the Omni Barton Creek Resort in Austin, luxury event designer Jordan Payne Events opted for a sophisticated pairing of the traditional Mottahedeh Lace Charger in a subtle shade of cornflower blue with the Ginori Periwinkle dinner and salad plate to create a more exuberant and versatile design on her all-blue table and room design.
THE ACCENT PIECES | ASSORTED BLUE GLASSWARE AND SMOKE ACCENTS
The plates don’t get to have all of the fun. In fact, the accessory pieces might be the strongest secret weapon when it comes to making this look yours. By swapping traditional gold and silver flatware and crystal stemware with our versatile Classic Blue Glassware Collection and Smoke Flatware, Jordan created an added layer of contemporary intrigue on the table. The takeaway: Always put your twist on tradition–even by turning your something blue into something a little more sexy and smoky

THE GUEST TABLES | ARTE ITALICA FINEZZA CHARGER AND HERITAGE BLUE COLLECTION
Luxury event designers understand the art of mixing and matching patterns across the room to create interest and depth, and Jordan Payne is no exception. To complement the bridal party tables of Ginori Pervinca, she chose an equally beloved pattern–the Arte Italica Finezza Blue Charger. Handmade in Italy, its intricate lace design looks sublime as a standalone statement at the table, waiting for a catered course, but it does love to layer. This timeless aesthetic complements both classic and contemporary compositions, making it an ideal companion charger for a wedding reception looking to incorporate several designs and tablescapes.
The Heritage Collection in Blue was curated with adding such layers in mind, both in design and value. This collection adds a keenly priced, second visual layer of patterns that adds further value to your room (and your budget).

THIRD COURSE | LENOX MARCHESA SHADES OF BLUE
Make serving dessert, and late-night passed plates, a cake walk with the glorious shades of Marchesa Shades of Blue by Lenox. The scalloped edges and bridal shades of ivory, light blue, and navy are perfect for those after-hours plates of fancy fast food that guests love passed while on the dance floor.

RAISE THE BAR | SALUDI STEMWARE AND VINTAGE COLORED GLASSWARE
Jordan Payne’s wedding pride themselves on luxury, which isn’t just a pretty place setting. It’s also a heavy dose of hospitality. Welcome carts of champagne in beautiful blue flutes and custom bars stacked with various shades of colored blue glassware set the tone from arrival to the end of the night toasts. Just like her place settings, Jordan mixed an assortment of blue glasses from various collections to create a visually striking composition in her custom bar facades. Our favorite late-night touch is the fun arrival of our Carrie Cosmo and Wine Collections–an exclusive offering of beautiful stemware from Saludi Glassware.
