Mise en place for your wedding: elegance lands on the table

January 3, 2020

To organize a truly elegant wedding it is necessary that each detail is well contextualized and in line with the chosen theme. Consequently, even the presentation of the table must be enhanced by an exclusive and impeccable mise en place.

Although the equipment strictly depends on the style you want to give to the wedding, there are rules of etiquette that are a bit of a “passe-partout” when it comes to arranging plates, glasses and cutlery on the table.

So don’t let chance or inexperienced waiters win. Rather, I recommend that you rely on an expert wedding designer who, in addition to offering her support, can recommend the most suitable suppliers to set up the type of event you have always dreamed of.

What are the elements to take into account to set up a mise en place in which nothing is left to chance? Here is a list!

The color palette

Brides do not always opt for a predominant color on their wedding day. Very often a theme is chosen and from there a color palette develops which becomes the common thread that guides the selection of all the details. Also for the mise en place, therefore, stick to this palette.

The floral part

Una volta che ti sarai accordata col tuo flower designer in merito ai fiori da inserire nel bouquet, potrai valutare la tipologia di decorazioni floreali da inserire nella sala che ospiterà il tuo banchetto di nozze. Il centrotavola, ad esempio, è un grande protagonista delle tavole nuziali. Riserva quindi una grande attenzione a questo dettaglio.

Once you have agreed with your flower designer about the flowers to be included in the bouquet, you can evaluate the type of floral decorations to be included in the room that will host your wedding banquet. The centerpiece, for example, is a great protagonist of the wedding tables. Therefore pay great attention to this detail.

If, on the other hand, you are looking for an alternative, I suggest you the perfect “gastronomic centerpiece” for a wedding dedicated to senses.

The tablecloth

Whether you choose a single imperial table or you have chosen to welcome your guests in round tables, the selection of tablecloths is truly of absolute importance. Remember that simplicity always rewards, so focus on the general harmony of the environment and avoid frills and excesses. Very often a well-made table runner is worth more than a thousand white satin tablecloths!

The crockery

Check with the person who will take care of setting up the table that all the elements congenial to a mise en place of a certain level are inserted.

If you have chosen a fish menu, for example, make sure that there is a special knife or even that each guest has their own plate for bread. Small attentions always make the difference!

Any ideas? Here are 10 ideas to best set up the table on your wedding day.

Baroque

In vogue for some years, the Baroque style continues to be a favorite of brides.

If yours will be a Baroque Wedding, an imperial table in raw wood enriched with a tablecloth made with precious fabrics is ideal. There is also plenty of room for candles and crystals.

Autumn wedding

Fall weddings are always a riot of light and color. If you get married in autumn, the advice is to choose copper details and, if you like slightly different combinations, to combine classic autumn colors such as orange, burgundy and brown with fresh shades of turquoise.

Kids table

Will there also be little guests at your wedding? Welcome them too in the best possible way! In addition to giving them wedding bag with games and sweet gifts, think of a mise en place that is congenial to the type of menu chosen for them and their needs.

A delightful idea is that of a tablecloth to color!
