About a month ago I was talking to my mom about plates for my wedding in October. We had settled on white square plastic ones when I said,"if I had all the money in the world, I would want all different kinds of china plates.." To which my mom said,"ok, let's do it!"
I was shocked, and quite frankly I didn't think she was serious! But she was. Within a few days she had decided that if we spent no more that $2 a plate, it would be the same amount of money as buying plastic plates.
So the search began. This was the first piece of china purchase for our wedding. My daddy bought it. At the time we thought he over paid for just a few dinner plates. But when he got them home we found out there was almost a complete service. Meaning not only did he buy plates, he also bought lunch plates, bowls, teacups and saucers, a few platters and some teeny tiny finger bowls!!
He was very excited! Then he started researching his find. Let's just say that only grown ups get to sit at the table with the Haviland China!! Haha!
In the past month we have collected almost 90 plates! Not only is this a fun adventure for my mom and dad but some of our friends have gotten on board too.
In the next few months I will be posting about the different people who are helping make my wedding dreams come true, one mismatched plate at a time!
