Two Fresh Looks for a WILLIAMSBURG Wedding

This morning we hosted an event for local and regional media to experience the vast array of products and services offered by the Colonial Williamsburg Foundation for a soon-to-be bride and groom. The morning session was all about explaining our 70-year old museum-licensing program, which is the oldest and largest in the world, and highlighting how this eclectic mix of products,inspired by our place, our history, and our story, can be incorporated to make the dream wedding come true.



We featured two different "looks" to show that a WILLIAMSBURG-inspired tablescape is versatile and can suit both the formal and informal palettes. Our formal setting consisted of our 'Virginia Blue' china pattern, one of our newest by Mottahedah, and the classic 'Airtwist' stemware.



As lifestyles have trended more towards the informal WILLIAMSBURG has innovated. While the timeless look of the formal table is always appealing, the more casual table can be more cost-effective and comfortable for an outdoor wedding or a bridal shower.



Our informal look was somewhat "garden-inspired" and featured three different patterns of creamware on wicker chargers with 'Gazebo' glassware and accented with a colorful fruit-filled 'Jefferson Cup'. To keep the feeling casual and to encourage conversation we kept the centerpiece a low arrangement of white hydrangeas and evergreens. The accent of green, a color of vitality and life, is reinforced in the fruit cup and the green napkins.

Both tables offer a look that represents a fresh fusion of rich 18th century American history with colors and styles that are on trend for today's lifestyles.
