After several years of living with our wedding china,
a lot of us are not happy about having said "I do." Tastes
change. Marriages are forever (we hope), but tableware does not have to be
a lifelong commitment. If you truly hate that fussy floral pattern, let it
go -- it will be the right cup of tea for someone on eBay. If that plain
white plate with platinum band is giving you the doldrums, spice it up.
Bring in accent plates. Alternate patterns at every other place setting.
Use mismatched pieces of silver -- if it's vintage and monogrammed with a
variety of initials, it'll make things even more interesting. Just stick to
a fairly consistent degree of formality or a cohesive color theme, and then
have as much fun as your imagination allows.
