We get the timeless beauty of white, but it has long been associated with weddings and we feel it is high time that we create new traditions, especially for garden weddings. Apart from the dresses, there are other implements in your wedding celebration that could make use of colors—and lots of them!
Take for example the plates. While we do not have any problems with being served the most flavorful dishes, you have to admit that place settings may use a bit more of personality. With the finest linen and the elaborate table décors, the dinner plate must also be given a creative spin. Here are some of our choices to get you inspired when choosing your table implements for your garden wedding.

Inspired by one of the oldest places in Central Asia, Villeroy and Boch created this line with vivid images of this Uzbekistan City that are teeming with a combination of Moroccan and Arabian flair. These plates are sure to make your garden wedding more interesting by providing more colors to the already verdant surroundings.
