There’s a lovely hush that settles over the studio when a wedding order is almost packed. Plates from every corner of our collection gather in tidy stacks, each one chosen with care. Goblets line up like colorful little soldiers, ready to sparkle under reception lights. Napkins, folded and fluffed, wait patiently for their moment at the table. Vintage flatware is counted and tea cups matched with salad plates and colored goblets.
This is the part we secretly adore—the quiet pause before celebration. It’s where all the mixing and matching finally clicks into place, and you can almost imagine the clink of glasses and the laughter yet to come. Sometimes the vintage plates are packed by color and other times they are sorted by tables.
Every crate holds a tiny preview of someone’s beautiful day, and sending them off feels a bit like waving goodbye to old friends headed on a grand adventure. Packing may be practical, but it’s also wonderfully heartwarming. A final glance, a gentle close of the lid, and off they go—to shine, delight, and help set the scene for memories that will last for years.
