Choosing the Right Aesthetic

Fonts: Cursive vs. Block

"Fonts set the mood for your entire table."

Use Cursive for classic, romantic, or black-tie weddings. It mimics traditional calligraphy but with a modern twist. Choose Block fonts for industrial, modern, or minimalist themes where readability and clean lines are priority.

Material Choices

Silk Gold/Silver: The gold standard for weddings. It gives a luxurious metallic sheen that looks like hand-casted metal.

White PLA: Perfect for a clean, minimalist look or if you plan to spray paint them in a custom color.

Mastering the Size

Sizing is crucial for a cohesive look. For standard 10-12 inch dinner plates, we recommend:

20mm
Height for subtle elegance
30mm
Perfect standard size
40mm+
Bold statement pieces
