Plate Expectations - my favorite place settings and serving ware

Fork and Knife with Plate emoji 26 items
(Apologies for the awful pun 🤣) When my husband and I got married, I was adamant about not registering for a set of china and a set of everyday dishes. I *love* dishes, serving platters, glassware, etc., and didn't want to be tied to the same place ...

Our day-to-day dishes are Apilco Tuileries from Williams Sonoma. I like this set because it holds up really well without feeling thick and bulky.

My husband loves these bowls for cereal. I hate them because they're huge. 😜

This is one of my favorite kitchen things! I definitely use it more as a cake stand, but it's fantastic for punch too!

This lazy susan is beautiful! Each of the little compartments is removable which makes it easy for washing. This is lovely for a veggie platter w/dip.

My favorite thing to do to change up the look of my dishes is to swap out salad & dessert plates from a different style. My regular dishes are all white, which makes it easy to mix things up. These are so pretty and come in four different colors.
