Coloured crockery does not mean every element of the table needs to compete. Let a patterned plate become the focal point and keep the linen, cutlery or glassware quieter, or layer tonal colours from the same family for a softer effect. For larger corporate events, using a consistent plate collection across the room can create strong visual impact without making the table feel over-styled.

A few useful things to know when choosing statement crockery for your event.
Can I mix different colours and crockery collections?
Yes. Coloured crockery can look particularly effective when complementary shades are mixed together. Mediterranean and Stoneware are good options for creating a layered, tonal look, while stronger patterned collections usually work best when the rest of the table is kept more restrained.
Is patterned crockery suitable for corporate events?
Yes. Patterned and coloured tableware can work especially well for brand events, product launches, hospitality and corporate dining where the table setting forms part of the overall event design.
What should I pair with bold or patterned plates?
A simple linen base, clear glassware and understated cutlery allow a bold plate to remain the focal point. Alternatively, pick out one colour from the crockery through your napkins or glassware to create a more coordinated setting.
How many plates will I need for my event?
The quantity depends on your guest numbers and menu. A seated meal may require a dinner plate, starter or dessert plate and possibly a side plate for each guest. Check each product page for the available hire quantity.
Do I need to wash hired crockery before returning it?
No. Washing is included in your crockery hire. Remove food residue and return the items in the racks or containers provided and CaterHire will take care of the washing.
Can I hire the rest of my tableware at the same time?
Yes. Glassware, cutlery, charger plates and table linen can all be hired alongside your coloured or patterned crockery as part of the same event order.
