Porcelain Plates in action: real weddings & events

China hire: designs and plate sets

With our china hire range you choose complete collections rather than odd plates. Most designs are available as a 4-piece plate set and individually as charger, dinner plate, starter or dessert plate and bread plate, so you can build each setting around your menu.

The styles range from festive to playful. Shine Gold, Château Metro Chic and Rose Flower with gold rims feel classic and elegant, while Pure Filigree Relief and Royal Flower White focus on white with fine texture. Colour comes from Pastel Green Mintcream, Peach Fuzz (Color of the Year 2024) and the Elegance range in white/rosé shine or grey/green shine, which also includes soup plates. Portuguese, Oriental, Mussemalet, Tropical Bird, Dynasty and Cabbage Beige by Bordallo Pinheiro offer striking patterns for tables with character.

Tips for setting a table with porcelain

  • One pattern, lots of calm: Bold designs like Tropical Bird or Portuguese look best with simple glasses and plain napkins.
  • Mix and match: Pair a patterned starter plate with a white dinner plate – personal, yet still cohesive.
  • Echo the gold: Gold cutlery and gold napkin rings blend beautifully with Shine Gold or Château Metro Chic.
  • Start with the menu: Plan plates around the courses – soup, starter, main, dessert – and hire only what you need.
