We’ve all been there. A plate, bowl, or glass catches your eye, you snap it up for a hefty price, and it collects dust in a cabinet for years and years. It looks beautiful on display, sure, but it would look even better when used for its intended purpose—laid out on a dining table for all to use and enjoy. Indeed, there’s often a fear of busting out the fine china or extra-delicate glassware for worry of damage or breakage. The solution? Do it anyway—and do it with reckless abandon.
Sound daunting? No worries. As a bit of inspo, we’ve put together lofty centerpieces, glittering flatware, and intricate serving plates to show you just how good they can all look together—particularly when surrounded by food, florals, and good conversation. There’s only one thing left to do: Pile everything high with food and indulge.
