For many, this is somewhat of an after thought. Then when they have to select it causes plenty of unwanted and unneeded stress! Whilst many caterers (like ourselves) will be able to provide a range of tableware for you to pick from ahead of your wedding, there are plenty that don’t. So here are 4 things to keep in mind when selecting!

Set a budget

Before you start looking at tableware, it's important to set a budget. This will help you narrow down your choices and avoid overspending. Keep in mind, if you caterer cannot provide, then you may need to purchase: plates, glasses, silverware, napkins, and other accessories.

Consider your theme

The tableware you choose should complement the overall theme and style of your wedding. If you are having a formal wedding, you may want to choose elegant, classic tableware. If you are having a more relaxed, casual wedding, you can opt for more playful or colourful tableware.

Think about your menu

The type of food you are serving will also play a role in your tableware choices. If you are serving a formal, multi-course meal, you may want to choose more formal tableware. If you are serving a buffet-style meal, you may want to choose more practical, sturdy tableware.

Rent vs. buy

A highly popular option is to rent your tableware instead of buying it, especially if you are having a large wedding. Renting can be a cost-effective and practical option and many rental companies offer a wide range of styles and options to choose from. Reeka are more than happy to go through this option with you and can accommodate any and all styles.

The important thing to remember is that by selecting tableware that is both beautiful and practical, the overall style and theme of your wedding will be elevated and complimented. If this is a daunting concept, Reeka can help you with this every step of the way.
