Vintage Plates

I've shared before that I collect antique plates. See Here and Here for more on my plate collection. I had some spare time and began browsing pretty vintage plates on the web and Pinterest. I think it would be so awesome to use a mix and match of vintage plates for a summer garden wedding. In fact, I would love to do that for my future wedding. Here are some pretty ones I've found on the web for a little inspiration/ eye candy for the weekend.

I just love the look of mismatched vintage china. It's so charming and would be such a fun way to add sentimental value and personality to an event. I even stumbled upon this site called Dishie Rentals - They rent out gorgeous vintage dishes like these:

So pretty, and such a cool idea. Although renting is an option, I think it would be so much fun to go antique shopping and just start collecting pretty plates to use for an event like a wedding. You will always have that keepsake of those dishes, and they will be even more meaningful because you hand-picked them all.
