We've seen vintage mismatched place settings grace both luxurious and understated Bridal Showers. This idea is also perfect for Bridesmaids' Luncheons as you share the moment with your best friends and inject your personal style.
Gather your bridesmaids for a sunlit luncheon complete with charming tea cups and delicate patterned tableware. Making this celebration uniquely yours is as simple as a trip to your grandmother’s China Cabinet. Hand-pick every piece from your mother's, aunts' or grandmother's serving pieces. These items, each with beautiful (and sentimental) vintage flair will complement your own uniquely modern style.
Once you have the main décor, it’s time to surround each bridesmaid with something a bit more modern in the same hues. Take a note from Kara Anne Paper and incorporate custom calligraphy escort cards or patterned menus.
Don’t forget the flowers! Whether your favorites are peonies, roses or dusty miller, simply pick them in hues that match the day’s color scheme and put each one in a clear glass vase. Now you have chic Bridesmaids' Luncheon décor worthy of an English tea party!

Wondering how to find your perfect fit in wedding gowns? Typically wedding dress sizes can be different from regular clothing sizes. Wedding dress sizing often follows its own set of sizing charts, and may differ from one bridal designer or brand to another. Wedding dress sizes often run smaller than regular clothing sizes, meaning that a bride may need to choose a wedding dress size that is larger than her usual size.
