A charger plate is a large decorative base plate set beneath the dinner plate at each place setting. It doesn’t hold food directly. Its job is to anchor the tablescape, add visual interest, and signal that someone put thought into the table. At Southern Events, charger plates are one of our most requested tabletop rentals. It’s easy to see why. One charger choice can shift the entire tone of a table before a single guest sits down.

What Is a Charger Plate and Do You Actually Need One?

Do you need charger plates at a wedding or event?

No, charger plates are not required. But they’re one of the easiest ways to make a tablescape feel complete. A plain dinner plate on a linen looks fine. That same plate stacked on a charger looks like it was meant to be there. The difference is subtle in theory. It’s pretty obvious in photos.

For formal events and seated dinners, charger plates are worth including. For casual buffet-style events where guests aren’t seated for a full meal, they’re less necessary. The decision comes down to how much you want the table to say.

One practical note: charger plates are typically removed after the first course. If you’re working with a caterer, confirm the removal timing with them early so the table transitions cleanly.

How to Choose a Charger Plate

The right charger depends on three things: the material finish, the china it’s paired with, and how much contrast you want between the two.

A charger should complement or intentionally contrast the plate sitting on top of it. Match them too closely and the stack falls flat. Go too far in the opposite direction and it starts to feel busy. The sweet spot is a charger that adds a distinct layer while still reading as part of the same design story.

Here’s how the main material families read in a room:

• Rattan — warm, organic, and textural. Works naturally with neutral linens and garden-inspired aesthetics.
• Lacquer — bold, graphic, and immediate. The finish is smooth and the color is full. Hard to ignore, which is usually the point.
• Glass with a metallic rim — formal without being rigid. The clear center keeps the look open while the rim handles the dressing up.
• Specialty finishes — wood, scalloped edges, intricate patterns. These are design decisions more than tableware choices. Use them where you want the table to have a clear point of view.

Can you mix and match charger plates at an event?

Yes, and when it’s done well it’s one of the more interesting moves on a tablescape. A common approach is using one charger style at the head table and a complementary option at guest tables. It draws the eye where you want it without making the room feel disjointed. But intentionality is key. Mixing chargers across a single table without a clear reason tends to read as inconsistent rather than creative.

Charger Plates in Our Middle Tennessee Rental Inventory

Rattan Chargers

Rattan is having a long, well-deserved moment in event design. The texture adds warmth and character without asking for much in return. Our Walnut Rattan Charger brings a rich, earthy tone. It feels right at home with neutral linens and simple white dinner plates. The White Wash Rattan Charger is the lighter, breezier version of that same warmth.

Both work well at garden parties, outdoor receptions, and events where the palette leans organic and unhurried. They’re the kind of detail guests notice without knowing why the table feels so good.

Lacquer Chargers

If rattan is the quiet one, lacquer is the one that walks in and owns the room.

• Gold — our most requested lacquer finish. Works across formal weddings, holiday events, and corporate galas where a warm metallic tone anchors the table.
• Silver — the cooler counterpart. A great fit for jewel-toned linens and modern palettes.
• Black — the one that goes with everything. Grounds a neutral tablescape and holds its own against a bold one.
• Rouge — a rich copper tone. Pairs beautifully with deep blues, true reds, and earthy neutrals. The unexpected choice that always gets a second look.

Glass Chargers with Metallic Rims

Glass chargers with a metallic rim are the formal option that doesn’t feel stuffy. The clear center keeps the look light. The rim does the dressing up! Available in Black, Gold, Silver, and Copper, these chargers pair especially well with muted or textured china.

Try them with our Earthen China. The metallic rim adds just enough polish without competing with the organic quality of the dinnerware. They’re a reliable combination for couples who want refined without rigid.

Specialty Chargers

Looking for something more unique? Each of these pieces is a design decision more than a tableware choice.

The Scalloped Wood Charger has a beautiful wood grain and a shaped edge. It adds quiet, organic detail to a place setting. Pair it with the Liana Floral China in sage green. The botanical print and the natural wood texture speak the same language. It’s a fresh, cohesive look that works well at spring and outdoor events across Middle Tennessee.

The Medallion Gold Glass Charger is the most ornate piece in the lineup. The intricate pattern is genuinely stunning. Keep the linen simple and give it room to do its thing. This is not the charger that needs help.

The Gwyneth Glass Charger is the whimsical one. Try pressing a colorful napkin between the charger and a matching dinner plate for a layered, playful stack. Small move, big return. It photographs especially well at social celebrations and events with a more joyful design direction.

The Darcy Bone China Charger has a delicate scalloped edge and a softness that’s hard to replicate. Paired with our Heirloom China, it creates a vintage-inspired place setting that feels considered without being fussy. This is a natural fit for bridal showers, rehearsal dinners, and intimate seated events where the details are the point.

The Right Charger Rental Makes the Table

Charger plates are a small decision with a visible return. For events across Middle Tennessee, including Franklin, Nashville, Brentwood, and Spring Hill, getting the tabletop right is one of the most satisfying parts of the design process. Our team will make it simple and straightforward for you.

Texture has a way of transforming a table without ever demanding attention. Etched velvet linens do exactly that, adding depth, softness, and quiet elegance through subtle pattern and sheen. Rather than relying on bold prints or heavy color, these linens create interest through dimension, making them a refined choice for elevated event design.

Soft Cream

Cream linens are a classic choice for elegant, upscale events. The delicate gold detailing woven into the fabric adds warmth and visual interest while keeping the overall look clean and refined. This colorway is especially well-suited for hotel weddings, black-tie galas, and formal corporate events.

Style these linens with crisp White China and gold Austin Flatware for a luminous tablescape that feels both traditional and luxurious. The result is understated sophistication that photographs beautifully in any setting.

Vivid Fuchsia

For hosts who love a confident pop of color, fuchsia velvet linens make a bold yet polished statement. This vibrant hue brings energy to the table while the velvet texture keeps it grounded and elevated.

Pair fuchsia linens with sleek Austin Flatware and patterned Coronado China to create a tablescape that feels playful, modern, and design-forward. It’s a striking choice for celebrations that lean expressive without sacrificing refinement.

Light Pink

Light pink offers a softer approach to color, perfect for romantic and airy table designs. The subtle blush tone adds warmth and charm without overpowering the rest of the table, making it an easy addition to both classic and contemporary events.

For a bright, luxe finish, pair these linens with Athena China. This combination creates a dreamy, elegant look that works beautifully for weddings, showers, and intimate dinner parties.

Dusty Blue

Dusty Blue is a cool-toned neutral that brings a modern edge to velvet linens. This color is ideal for events with a contemporary or minimalist aesthetic, especially when you want texture to do the heavy lifting.

Style Dusty Blue linens with Earthen China and Copper Flatware for a clean yet striking tablescape. The contrast between soft velvet and metallic accents creates a look that feels current, sophisticated, and intentional.

Rose

Rose linens strike the perfect balance between warmth and glamour. The muted pink tone feels modern while still offering a romantic undertone, making it a versatile option for a wide range of celebrations.

Pair rose linens with vintage-inspired Darcy China and Sophia Flatware for a tablescape that feels curated and elegant. This combination works especially well for evening events where candlelight can highlight the linen’s soft texture.

Silver

Silver velvet linens are a timeless choice for traditional and formal events. Their subtle shimmer adds elegance without overwhelming the table, making them ideal for classic venues and neutral color palettes.

For a refined, understated look, pair silver linens with Glass China and Abby Flatware. Keeping the place setting simple allows the texture of the linen to shine, resulting in a clean and cohesive design.

Styling with Etched Velvet Linens

What makes etched velvet linens so versatile is their ability to elevate a table through texture rather than pattern alone. They layer beautifully with classic china, metallic flatware, and thoughtful glassware, allowing you to build a tablescape that feels rich and dimensional without feeling busy. Whether you’re designing a grand gala or an intimate dinner, these linens provide a sophisticated foundation that complements your overall event aesthetic seamlessly.

All Eyes on the Table

Your tablescape is where guests spend the most time, making it the perfect place to showcase your style. Our inventory features a variety of tablecloth rentals, runners, and napkins that can serve as your backdrop or your focal point. These are a few of our current favorites:

• Blue Floral Linen – A timeless pattern reminiscent of classic toile, perfect for garden parties or elegant brunches
• Green Meadow Linen – A whimsical mix of green with bright pops of color, evoking a wildflower field in bloom
• Regalia Velvet Linen – Deep black velvet adorned with bold florals and regal peacock motifs for a dramatic, luxe look
• Verdant Bloom Linen – A contemporary field of cool-toned blue and green blooms for a fresh, editorial feel

Want to create depth? Layer a patterned runner over a solid cloth, or add napkins in a complementary shade to tie everything together.

What Size Linens Do I Need for My Event Tables?

The right size is key for a polished look. A standard 60-inch round table typically needs a 120-inch round tablecloth for a floor-length drop. For an 8-foot banquet table, a 90×156-inch linen will provide full coverage. If you prefer a more casual, mid-length look, opt for a shorter size. Not sure what will fit? Our team can guide you through measurements so every table is perfectly dressed.

How Much Does It Cost to Rent Linens for a Wedding?

Pricing depends on the fabric, size, and style. For standard polyester linens, expect to spend $10 to $25 per tablecloth. Specialty fabrics like velvet, satin, or sequined designs may range from $60 to $90 or more. Napkins, runners, and overlays are typically priced separately. Many couples find that investing in quality linens is worth it for the cohesive look and the time saved on cleaning and setup.

Beyond the Table

Linens are not just for dining tables. Use them to dress cocktail tables for a chic gathering space, drape a dessert table for a coordinated look, or cover buffet stations so they blend seamlessly with your décor. With the right fabric and color, linens can turn any functional space into a design feature.

Try It, Style It, Love It

The best way to see how linens can transform your event is to experience them in person.

Hosting a dinner party should be joyful, not stressful. But when you’re the one planning the evening, setting the table can feel like a balancing act between style and simplicity. That’s where tablescape rentals come in. Whether you’re planning a milestone birthday, holiday gathering, or intimate dinner with friends, Southern Events in Nashville offers stylish tabletop rentals that not only elevate your table setting but make cleanup a breeze. From elegant serveware to freshly pressed linens, our rentals help you create a picture-perfect spread without the post-party mess.

Elegant Beverage & Coffee Service

Beverage service is often the first impression your guests have of your event. Whether you’re pouring cocktails, mocktails, sweet tea, or iced water, the vessel matters. We offer beautiful silver beverage pitchers and glass carafes that make even water feel like a special treat. These elegant, uniform pieces streamline self-service and elevate the look of your drink station. When dessert rolls around, add our silver coffee or tea server sets—complete with matching cut glass creamers and sugar bowls—to keep your beverage service cohesive and charming.

Pro Tip: Set up a self-serve coffee bar using our silver trays and tiered stands for an inviting, hotel-lounge-inspired touch.

Make a Statement with Tiered Stands

Tiered stands are one of our favorite multitaskers. Use them for appetizers, desserts, or even miniature place cards and favors. Here are a few standout options:

• Willow Tiered Stand: Rustic, organic, and perfect for charcuterie or brunch.
• Hamilton 3-Tier Silver Serving Stand: Formal and classic, ideal for weddings or elegant soirées.
• White Square 3-Tier Serving Stand: Clean and versatile, fitting for baby showers, brunches, or garden parties.

These stands not only make serving easier. They add vertical interest to your table setting rentals, helping guide the guest experience and encouraging conversation.

Family-Style Hosting Made Effortless

Family-style meals create a sense of warmth and community. However, to pull one off successfully, it requires the right pieces. Our collection of melamine serving platters—deep dish, oval, rectangular, and square—is perfect for main dishes, sides, and salads. These coordinated serving pieces eliminate the need to cobble together a mismatched assortment of bowls and trays.

Hosting Tip: Use our bread baskets (available in Brown Oval Rattan, Gold Oval, or Silver Round)to serve warm rolls or freshly-baked loaves with style. Pair them with flavored butters or olive oil in small ramekins for added charm.

Linens That Save Time & Look Good Doing It

Few things say “finished” like a well-dressed table. Renting linens means you don’t have to worry about last-minute ironing, post-party washing, or storing tablecloths you’ll only use once or twice a year. With a wide selection of styles, colors, and materials, our linen rentals help you create a cohesive tablescape that aligns with your event theme. And when it comes to cloth napkins, they’re not just a style upgrade over disposables. They’re more absorbent, better for the environment, and much more elegant to display on your tabletop.

Set the Mood with Servingware

From first course to final toast, your servingware ties your whole event together. At Southern Events, our inventory includes:

• China in various patterns and tones for every event style.
• Chargers that add depth, polish, and drama to place settings.
• Flatware options, from classic silver to modern matte gold.
• Glassware, including wine glasses, goblets, and highballs.

You can create a completely customized place setting that feels luxurious without feeling excessive. All without the need to buy (or clean!) a dozen extra place settings.

Style Doesn’t Have to Mean Stress

Creating an event table that wows your guests is an art form, especially when you lean into the “more is more” mentality of maximalist design. At Southern Events Party Rental, we offer a variety of patterned linens and eclectic serving ware to help you craft an utterly unforgettable aesthetic. Keep reading for maximalist event table ideas, including tips on how you can achieve a maximalist design that is bold yet balanced!

So, What is Maximalist Design?

Maximalist design is the opposite of minimalist design. While minimalism focuses on simplicity and restraint, maximalism encourages the use of colors, prints, objects, and textures to showcase your personality. This design philosophy is perfect for event tables, where you can combine various elements to create a space that’s chaotic yet elegant. Contrary to popular belief, maximalist design doesn’t mean clutter! With our expert guidance, you can create a tablescape that’s both over-the-top and functional, ensuring your guests are wowed by every detail.

Lots of Layering, Please!

One of the easiest ways to create a maximalist table is by layering linens and rentals. You might have seen layered linens in the form of soft and breezy runners or contrasting patterns. But don’t stop there—consider layering with elements like serving platters. With the rising popularity of charcuterie and grazing boards, appetizers can become part of your design. Imagine fresh sourdough rolls in baskets or an array of meats and cheeses on silver trays, adding both visual interest and culinary delight to your table.

Mix Prints & Textures

While it’s typical to feature one standout piece in traditional design, maximalism encourages multiple bold elements. More specifically, combining different patterns and textures, whether it’s table linens, china, or glassware. The key is to maintain balance and know when enough is enough! Think of it as controlled chaos where each item adds to the overall aesthetic without overwhelming the senses. For example, feature a funky Verdant Bloom tablecloth in contrast to sleek Onyx Earthen China and a bold Hot Pink Velvet Napkin.

Color is Your Best Friend

Color is a powerful tool in maximalist design. While a splash of color is a fun addition to any tablescape, maximalist design allows for more unique color combinations, including metallics. Play with contrasting tones or feature different shades of one color to create depth and interest. For example, try mixing the Savannah Sage Plaid tablecloth with green floral Liana China. From bold linens to colored glassware, embrace the freedom to experiment with color to make your table truly stand out.

Don’t Underestimate Cutlery

Flatware is often an afterthought, chosen to match existing metallics in china or chargers. However, in maximalist design, cutlery is an accessory—much like jewelry—that can elevate your tablescape. We offer a variety of unique flatware collections that will grab your guests’ attention and complement your overall design. Think beyond the basics and choose pieces that enhance the visual appeal of your table, such as the Noir Matte Black or Silver Como Flatware.

Neutral Maximalism

While we love color, it’s not a requirement for a stunning maximalist tablescape. You can achieve an equally impressive look with neutral tones by combining a variety of minimalist rentals. The key is to focus on texture and layering to create a rich, inviting space. Such as glassware! While you don’t need three glasses for each place setting, there is no harm if your many consist of three unique beverages. Neutral doesn’t have to mean boring; with the right mix of elements, you can create a maximalist table that’s sophisticated and chic.

Creating a maximalist event table is about embracing the “more is more” philosophy in a way that’s stylish and cohesive. At Southern Events Party Rental, we have the patterned linens, eclectic serving ware, and expert guidance you need to design a tablescape that will impress your guests and make your event truly memorable. Reach out today and let us help you bring your bold vision to life!

Southern Events is excited to announce our new inventory of Bridgerton-inspired event napkins. With pastel color schemes and luxurious textiles, these napkin rentals are perfect for creating a tablescape that would make the ton swoon. Read on to discover our new napkin styles and servingware pairings.

Costa Nova Cotton

First on our list is the Costa Nova Cotton napkin. Made from high-quality cotton, these napkins exude an air of sophistication and elegance. The soft pastel colors and smooth texture are reminiscent of the refined aesthetics of the Regency period. Pair the Sky Blue Napkins with our Emmie Floral China for a whimsical garden party. Alternatively, contrast the bold print of our Cabo Blue China with a subtle shade like Dusty Rose.

Lucia Frayed

For those who prefer a hint of whimsy in their table decor, the Lucia Frayed napkins are a perfect choice. The delicate fraying brings a relaxed yet stylish vibe to your event. While providing a subtle contrast to the more polished elements of your tablescape. For example, pair the Athena China with a sleek gold rim with a soft Sage Green. Or, create a timeless look with Off-White napkins atop a refined print like the Coronado China.

Posy Scalloped Lace

If you’re aiming for a truly romantic ambiance, the Posy Scalloped Lace napkins are a must-have. These napkins boast a beautifully scalloped edge adorned with intricate embroidered lace details. The combination of the soft pastel shades and the delicate lace creates a dreamy, ethereal look. The soft edges of our Darcy China look especially romantic when paired with Blush. However, we love the vintage elegance of our mismatched Heirloom China and bright Sky Blue napkins.

Vallie Stitched

For those who appreciate bold design elements, the Vallie Stitched napkins offer a striking option. These solid-colored napkins feature bold embroidered details that add a touch of drama and flair to your tablescape. Complement the intricate edging of the gold Ophelia China with Vallie featuring gold embroidery. Alternatively, grab Vallie in white with silver to pair with solid white china stacked on the Silver Rimmed Glass Charger.

Your wedding table is more than just a place for your guests to sit and dine – it’s a canvas where your style and vision come to life. At Southern Events Party Rental Company, we understand the importance of crafting a memorable event table that aligns perfectly with your theme. From exquisite linens to elegant china, explore our distinct wedding table rentals will help you create a stunning reception for your Nashville nuptials.

Wedding Table Linens

Setting the stage for your wedding begins with the perfect linens. The right fabric, color, and length can transform your table and set the tone for the entire event. We offer a diverse range of linens, including polyester, satin, and velvet. Polyester is durable and versatile, making it suitable for any occasion. Satin adds a touch of elegance with its smooth, glossy finish. Meanwhile, velvet offers a luxurious and rich feel, perfect for a sophisticated look.

In addition to full tablecloths, consider using table runners for an added layer of style. Coastal-inspired linens, romantic silks, and other specialty fabrics can enhance your chosen theme. When it comes to lengths, a modern aesthetic can be achieved with linens that cut off right at the floor, providing a clean edge. Alternatively, for a dreamy, elegant look, you might prefer runners or tablecloths that gracefully fall onto the floor.

China & Chargers

The china and chargers you choose will be the stars of your table. These items take up the most space and are key indicators of your event’s style or theme. At Southern Events, we offer a stunning selection to suit any vision. Our patterned china features whimsical florals and vibrant color waves, perfect for adding a touch of personality and charm to your table setting. For those seeking a more classic look, we offer timeless neutrals such as crisp white and matte black.

Looking for a simple way to create a luxe layered look? Feature a contrasting charger. Consider options like white-washed rattan for a rustic touch or shimmering gold for a luxurious feel. Once you’ve chosen your china and charger, complete the stack with coordinating bread, salad, or dessert plates to add depth and dimension to your table.

Glassware Rentals

Choosing the right glassware depends largely on your beverage service or menu. While a water goblet is essential, additional glassware can enhance the aesthetic and functionality of your table. A water goblet is versatile and can be used for any drink, from water to lemonade.

For special moments such as toasts and wine service, champagne flutes and wine glasses are perfect additions. If you plan to offer signature beverages like beers or cocktails, consider specialty glassware. While not necessary, having multiple glassware offerings can add a luxurious aesthetic to your event table. Glassware can also be used to add a splash of color or an eclectic edge to your design, making your table truly unique.

Wedding Flatware

Unless your menu is entirely finger foods, you’ll need flatware. The type and quantity will depend on your service style and menu. Start with the basics: knives and forks, for both bread and steak. These are essential whether you are planning a buffet or catered dinner. For a multiple-course meal, you will also need salad forks, in addition to a dessert fork or spoon for your dessert service. If you’re offering coffee service, consider adding a coffee cup, saucer, and an additional spoon.

We offer a variety of flatware styles, from vintage to modern, in various on-trend metallics and sheens. While small, flatware can make a significant visual impact on your tablescape, contributing to the overall aesthetic and theme of your event.

Crafting Your Perfect Wedding Table

With Southern Events Party Rental Company, you can create a wedding table that truly reflects your vision and style. From the foundational linens to the finishing touches of flatware, our wedding table rentals ensure every detail is perfect. Ready to design your dream table?

Event planning brings a refreshing shift towards a less-is-more philosophy in 2024! Embracing the essence of minimalism, event designers are choosing quality over quantity. Focusing on elements that make a lasting impact without overwhelming the senses. And Southern Event Rentals is here to help you embrace the trend and champion the art of curated simplicity. Explore our range of in-stock rentals to discover how you can seamlessly incorporate the latest in 2024 event design trends into your upcoming celebrations.

Linens with Whimsy

Gone are the days of elaborate and cluttered centerpieces vying for attention. Instead, 2024 encourages a playful embrace of whimsical linens to set the stage for a vibrant event. Picture bright and wonderful prints that effortlessly contrast with simple serving ware. For example, our Labella Pink and Somerset Blue are subtle designs that give big Bridgerton vibes, perfect for an elegant spring soiree. Meanwhile, Blue Floral and Cerise Kensington is more punchy and perfect for summer! On the other hand, romantic runners allow simple wood furniture to shine and exude softness – we’re loving our Sahara Runners in Indigo, Sage, and Rust. These linens not only add a pop of personality but also eliminate the need for chaotic centerpieces and unnecessary filler, allowing guests room to breathe.

Serving Ware that Elevates

Quality serving ware is a silent yet powerful player in the symphony of event design. It’s a tactile detail that can make or break the overall aesthetic of a table. Clean and simple is an easy choice, especially in contrast to busy printed linens. However, china adorned with timeless prints and subtle pops of color is equally striking and looks stunning atop a bold tablecloth. Likewise, our Cabo China comes in beautiful shades of Blue and Marigold, lending a chic coastal vibe. Meanwhile, Liana in a rich green is a modern twist on a vintage print. Textured chargers and colored glassware further enhance the visual appeal! Try the Rattan White Wash or Scalloped Wood Charger for added texture. Or allude to eras past with our pastel Amalia or Deco Glassware.

Clutter-Free Bars 

Simplicity extends beyond aesthetics to the culinary domain. That is to say, steer away from the temptation to stock every conceivable beverage option. Instead, focus on creating a thoughtful menu featuring signature drinks presented in eye-catching glassware. Such as our contemporary Cybil or sleek Upton Glassware! Instead, for a hassle-free approach, consider batch cocktails or mocktails elegantly displayed in beverage dispensers. This will help streamline serving for a more seamless experience. Moreover if you choose a bar of the appropriate style and size. For example, our expansive Thompson White Bar Collection. Or perhaps the likes of our smaller Collins Black Wood Bar. To match a theme, check out the sophisticated Alice Bar or retro-inspired Chelsea Marble Top Bar.

Home-Like Lounges

Hotel vibes are taking a backseat in 2024! With event designers prioritizing the creation of cozy spaces that mimic the warmth of home. Southern Event Rentals always encourages planners to prioritize functionality over aesthetics in lounge areas. Picture accent tables strategically placed for guests to comfortably rest their drinks, appetizers, and handbags. This deliberate design fosters an intimate and relaxed atmosphere. Encouraging guests to connect and enjoy the event in a more personal setting. If you need inspiration, take a look at our curated collections, such as the Ellison Lounge. Or, mix and match to create a custom seating area featuring sofas. Along with armchairs and an ottoman or two. Top it off with a rug for a cohesive and refined look.

A commitment to curated simplicity reflects a deeper understanding of the evolving preferences of event-goers. Ensuring that every gathering is a memorable experience! Contact our team today at info@southerneventsonline.com to book an appointment in our showroom. We’d be happy to help incorporate these 2024 event design ideas into your celebration!

Cozy Orange Tones

Warmth and intimacy define this reception theme!

Given you want a luxurious look, top them with place settings starring gold-accented serving ware. Such as our Glass Chargers with Gold Rim, Hamlet China, and Austin Flatware.

For those who appreciate the charm of bygone eras, our antique-inspired goblets are a timeless choice. Available in brilliant shades, our Savoy Glassware goblets evoke a sense of nostalgia and elegance. Likewise, Deep Amber looks stunning atop modern rustic tables, contrasted by stark white china and bold velvet napkins. For a more airy look, pair the Sage green glassware with White Washed Rattan Chargers and our Liana China. Alternatively, the muted tones of the Amalia Glassware complement a variety of color palettes. For instance, place the Light Pink glass alongside Heirloom China and Abby Flatware. This will lend to a table that is romantic and whimsical; fitting for a modern garden party. Or, for a more modern tablescape, feature the subtle Sage shade next to our Vera Floral China atop Scalloped Wood Chargers.
