Upgrade the look of your entire event by elevating your dining tablescape!
Our design professionals assure us that no table setting is complete without a charger plate to polish off the look. We’ve collected our favorite examples for popular event motifs to help inspire your design journey!
What Is A Charger Plate?
A charger plate is a large, decorative plate placed beneath other dinnerware during formal occasions. You’ll find them at catered events, weddings, upscale parties, banquets, or other fine dining occasions. They are decorative and not meant to come in direct contact with food.
Why Would I Want One For My Event?
They provide an elegant way to serve multiple course meals, where each course has a specific bowl or plate placed on top of the charger. Charger plates are available in a variety of colors, materials, lengths/diameters, and shapes for you to choose from to match the decor, mood, and style of your particular event. Not only do they anchor the dining table, create ambiance, and are aesthetically pleasing to guests, chargers also protect the table and tablecloth from becoming dirty during service.
Glitz and Glam!
This metallic look creates a table that works for everything, from weddings to New Year’s Eve. With a mix of silver, gold, copper, and brass, your tablescape will look truly Instagram-worthy.
Romantic
For this motif, our editors recommend using a charger reminiscent of your grandmother’s china and layering it with other patterns in similar colors to keep the feel soft, vintage, and dreamy.
Modern
We’d pair plates and vessels with imperfect edges in neutral shades like beige, off-white, or this cool-toned pastel gray. Arranged with glamorous gold flatware will create a contrast, and elevate the whole look.
Destination
Bring the island fauna right into the lap of your guests! We love the idea of using fresh tropical foliage as chargers. These allow for a less elaborate centerpiece, and the overall table won’t seem too cluttered.
Boho-Chic
We can’t get enough of this fun, textured charger! The material is perfect for a bohemian feel, and your guests will love the unique design.
Classic
Elegant and clean, with just a dash of sparkle, clear chargers with a metallic rim elevate a classic white wedding tablescape, adding flashes of cohesive accents to break up the monochrome pallet.
