Vintage China for Weddings: Hire or Buy?

7/7/2010

1 Comment

 
Vintage china is the must-have for weddings this year, with brides eager to create a classic high tea setting for their guests. Wedding magazines are full of images of pretty teacups and cake stands covered in scones, surrounded by elegant silver plated cutlery and set off with classic teapots.

Several companies offer vintage china hire in Hampshire, but many brides we've met have been surprised to discover it's sometimes cheaper to buy your china and cutlery rather than hire it! Brides also tell us that they love buying their own china, as it feels more personal on the day, and they don't have to give it back afterwards.

At The Jay's Nest, we sell a wide range of vintage china, including delightful teacup, saucers and plate sets, pretty floral tea services complete with teapots and sugar bowls, plus all the cutlery to go with it. (Hire firms tend to forget that modern hotel  or catering cutlery looks awful alongside classic china!)  

At our antique shop in Winchester, you can browse amongst our stock of vintage cutlery, including teaspoons, tea knives, cake slices, jam spoons and butter knives, perfect for a wedding high tea, baby shower party, or sophisticated birthday tea party for a special person.   

We also sell other teatime essentials such as china cake stands, larger cake plates, although these items do sell very quickly!

So, if you're looking for vintage or retro china in Hampshire, why not pop by and see what we have on offer - our stock changes regularly and we can also source items on request.
