A great tablescape doesn't happen with the table alone.
It's the combination of the table, linen, plate, glassware, flatware, and finishing details that turns a place setting into part of the event design. And when you have the right pieces to choose from, your table can become one of the most memorable details of the entire event.
At Epic Party Team, our tableware rentals collection gives you plenty of ways to build a tabletop that feels intentional, from patterned plates and colorful glassware to statement chargers and specialty flatware.
Pair those pieces with our linen rentals and a designer dining table, and suddenly the table isn't just functional—it's a focal point.
Before choosing the plates or napkins, think about the table itself.
A traditional round or banquet table gives you a blank canvas that can completely change depending on the linen and tabletop design. But designer tables can make just as much of a statement without a tablecloth.
For a more editorial or elevated look, wood dining tables bring warmth and texture to the room. Our dining table collection includes everything from ash and natural wood tables to black, white, gold and silver finishes.
One of our favorites for creating something a little unexpected? The Serpentine Dining Table.
Its curved shape naturally creates movement throughout the room and gives you a different canvas for your tablescape than a traditional rectangle or round table.
If you're using a traditional table, the linen is one of the biggest opportunities to bring color and personality into the design.
And we don't believe linens have to be an afterthought.
Epic Party Team offers more than 50 polyester linen colors, along with specialty linens featuring texture and pattern.
For one of the tablescapes featured here, we paired a Serpentine Table with a custom blue floral linen. The curved table creates an interesting silhouette, while the bold floral pattern brings color and movement across the entire table.
It's a great example of how a statement linen can do some of the heavy lifting in your event design.
Then you can pull colors from the linen into the rest of the table through your plates, glassware, napkins and florals.
Once you've chosen the table and linen, it's time for the fun part.
Think of your place setting as layers.
Start with a charger, then add your dinner plate, salad or appetizer plate, flatware and glassware. From there, you can bring in napkin rings, table accents and other details that make the setting feel finished.
Our tableware collection includes:
Patterned and solid dinner plates
Salad and appetizer plates
Bread-and-butter plates
Chargers
Colored glassware
Wine glasses
Champagne flutes
Coupes
Multiple flatware finishes
Napkin rings
Table accents
You can rent an entire place setting or choose only the pieces you need for your event.
Marlow Dinner Plate
A patterned plate can add visual interest without requiring a complicated centerpiece.
Sedona Dinner Plate
A great option when you want pattern and personality to be part of the place setting.
Jolene Colored Glassware
Colored glass is one of the easiest ways to introduce another layer of color without overwhelming the table.
Arrow Flatware
Available in finishes including black and gold, flatware can help tie the tabletop into the larger event design.
Not every dinner needs a ballroom.
Some of the most memorable events are the smaller ones: an intimate dinner with friends, a private chef experience, a rehearsal dinner, a birthday celebration or a backyard gathering where everyone can actually sit around one table and spend the evening together.
For a smaller setup, choose a table that feels intentional and build the environment around it.
One of the setups featured here uses our Dining Table Overhead Accessory, creating a structure above the table that can be dressed with florals, greenery, garlands or string lighting.
Dining Table Overhead Accessory
At 8 feet long and 42 inches tall, the accessory gives you another dimension to work with above the tabletop.
Instead of keeping all of the design on the table, you can take it up.
Think:
Greenery woven through the structure
Florals hanging overhead
String lights for an evening dinner
Hanging candles or decorative elements
A canopy of greenery for a garden-inspired event
It turns a simple dinner table into an entire experience.
The best tablescapes don't necessarily come from choosing every piece from the same collection.
They come from knowing which pieces should work together.
A patterned plate can be the statement against a simple linen. A colorful glass can bring in the event's accent color. Gold flatware can connect the table to the rest of the décor. A specialty linen can become the foundation for the entire palette.
The key is to give each element a role.
