One of those sneaky costs in wedding planning is the china … renting 100 place settings can get pretty expensive. And unfortunately, the more budget-friendly option is in the form of paper and plastic with design choices being between red, blue or yellow. (Not exactly ballroom-worthy.)
But, alas—a new trend is emerging! Someone had the bright idea to blend pretty with practical, and we’re beginning to see disposable place settings and cups pop up featuring designs that are wedding-worthy.
Last month, we featured the throwaway couture cups from Rebecca Wilson, and I recently spotted disposable china from The L.A. Table making its rounds on the blogosphere.
And I use the term “disposable” loosely. These heavy-duty plastic beauties are recyclable as well as reusable (and yes, you get to keep them!). Perfect for when you host dinner parties as newlyweds! Pricing ranges from $6 to $11.95 for a pack of 10—that’s like a dollar a plate!
The L.A. Table also has napkins, cups, servingware and flatware to complete your tabletop look, in styles that range from glamour to country chic. With these up-and-coming options, there’s no need to choose between beauty and budget … you can have the best of both worlds.
