Collecting Wedding China

Add some personality to your tables with vintage china. Layer them with pattern and color by using mix and match plates for your wedding table settings. Pool together pieces from friends and relatives or purchase inexpensive china for use on your wedding day and in your new home. It's fun, inexpensive and green!

Here are some of our favorite sources for china:

Replacements Ltd.

Ebay

Willams-Sonoma Home (watch for great sales!)

Flea markets, estate sales, thrift stores, and garage sales

Tips for purchasing china:

Watch for chips and cracks. A little bit adds personality, too much makes your tables look a bit junky!

Stay within the same color family or a two-tone color scheme for cohesiveness.

Set a budget. Great china can still be found at less than $1 or $2 a plate.

Find your china plates before your other decorations and let them be an inspiration for the rest of your wedding decor. Your guests will love hearing the stories of these pieces and your tabletops will be filled with personality!
