Mismatched China

This was a very large job hunting for china but worth it as my daughter was very pleased. I think the mismatched idea can work as long as you keep a common denominator. We kept the plates blue and white and tied together with gold chargers although if had to do again would not have done damask overlays as it was too busy. But vintage china can be very beautiful and is personal preference. My daughters guest loved the china and commented on it frequently. We did not have bussers and clearing tables and rinsing was a challenge. My daughters wedding went from a 150 person venue wedding to a 40 close family and friends backyard wedding with me, Mom being the chef, decorator, busser etc. Very difficult. This was a little tacky but unfortunately I could not come up with another alternative, I placed a 25 gallon cooler full of soapy water near bussing area i created with a cart a garbage can for scraping plates, out of photo areas . I was able to bus the tables quickly and scrape plates and place in soapy water so plates did not get yucky! I hope yours turned out amazing!

I have mismatched china dishes that i would love to sell. They would be perfect for most venues. I have a lot of mis and make, large verity. I am will to sell these at a very affortable price and if need i may be able to meet you 1/2 way to deliver.

I am doing the same thing with mismatched China. I am doing dinner and dessert plates. I have hit the local Goodwill & thrift stores and have been able to get almost all of them in under a month. $1 (or less) for dinner and $.50 (or less) for dessert. I can't wait!

I am doing this for my wedding! I posted on Nextdoor and have gotten 60 plates/cups for free so far
