Glassware

Leslie — Fri, 17 May 2013 18:14:21 +0000

As you select your centerpieces for your wedding or event keep in mind how much space they will utilize on the table also consider the additional items that need to be placed onto the table. Chargers, bread plate, water glass, white wine, red wine and champagne glasses plus utensils. Keep in mind all these glasses are different sizes and will need room.

Water: full body glass with short stem. (All venues do not use water glasses with steams)

White Wine: slightly smaller glass with wider bowl to capture the bouquet.

Burgundy Reds and Pinot Noirs: a wide bowl to bring out their complexity. The glass is slightly taller than the white wine glass.

Champagne: a narrow fluted glass, which reduces the wine’s surface area and keep the bubbles from dissipating.
Red wine: the bigger of the wine glasses. Hold the glass at the bottom of the bowl where it meets the stem.

Brandy: Brandy Snifter. Normally not placed on the table at the beginning of dinner but can be at the bar for after dinner drink or passed on a tray by waiters after dinner.

Napkin Shapes, Sizes and Placement

Leslie — Fri, 10 May 2013 17:06:22 +0000

Event formality dictates the shape and size of napkins used.
Napkins are usually square. The following list shows what sized napkins are used for various occasions:

*Formal, Multiple Course, Meals – large napkins (22 – 26 inches square);
*Buffet Service – medium to large napkins (18 to 24 inches square or 12 x 22 inches);
*Informal Dinners – medium napkins (18 to 20 inches square);
*Luncheons – smaller napkins (14 to 16 inches square);
*Tea – small napkins (12 inches square)
*Cocktails – very small napkins (9 inches square, 4 x 6 inches, or 6 x 8 inches).

Napkins are placed in the center of the service plate to save space at a formal event. (Menus can be placed on top of napkins or in napkin folds) Informal meals allow the host to place the napkin wherever they choose. Keep in mind when ordering napkins with caterers to always add an additional 6-8 for those that drop them, spills or just take it them to the dance floor. Also consider what color napkins will be used in your breadbaskets if they are placed on the table you will also need to order them. Feel free to mix and match your napkins as part of your overall design.

What if you could enjoy the flickering light of a candle with the convenience of a light switch? Candle By The Hour has a leg up on the illuminating competition with its beeswax coil candles. They burn clean for hours at a time, and then—with a clever wick clip—extinguish all on their own, whenever you want them to.

International Dining Etiquette

Leslie — Fri, 03 May 2013 17:45:18 +0000

Keep in mind when inviting International guest to your wedding or if you are invited to a cultural diverse wedding that some dining etiquette is culturally relevant. For example, in the United States people cut their food with the knife and fork and then transfer the fork to the right hand to use it for eating the food. In Continental Europe, this method would appear rude. Instead, diners should keep the fork in the left hand and eat from the fork with the fork’s prongs curving downward. In Korea, all dishes are typically served at once, including the soup. In Thailand, soup is drunk straight from the bowl, without a spoon.

These are just a few tips to help you prepare for a culturally diverse celebration.
