Isn't it just wonderful to have an original sentence written in [calligraphy] on an antique plate...?

Exploring antique shops to find your favorite design and having a calligrapher write on it is so delightful. Since antique plates are often one-of-a-kind, adding your own text makes it a truly unique plate in the world ♡

It feels like an original commemorative plate, a treasure for a lifetime.

As for the uses at weddings,

- Have the vows written and turn it into a marriage certificate

- Have a favorite phrase written to make a ring pillow

- Have a welcome message written to create a welcome plate

and so on.

Dreaming about how to use it at the wedding and where to display it in the new home is exciting ♡

Lovely Works＊

＜➀＞

An antique plate from Creil-Montreuil used as a marriage certificate. It reportedly has "I vow to love you for a lifetime" written in French. So beautiful… ♡

It was displayed alongside a pressed flower marriage certificate in the welcome space and during the ceremony ♡

Here is another antique plate used as a marriage certificate. This one features large grapes on a Creil-Montreuil plate.

The grapes were a key motif for the wedding. Choosing a design that represents the theme of the wedding or the couple adds a wonderful touch.

Using a mini plate from Astier de Villatte as a ring pillow is also cute ♡ (Astier was founded in 1996, so it’s not technically an antique...!)

A marriage certificate on a pure white plate with beautiful gold lettering that stands out. The flower language of lily of the valley is "the joy of loving." It's a perfect flower for weddings ♡

Choosing the same flowers as the wedding bouquet is also a coherent and charming idea.

Brands of Antique Plates ♡

The term "antique" refers to collectibles in French.

Specifically, it refers to furniture, dishes, forks, and other tools, space goods, and clothing that are over 100 years old and recognized for their artistic value rather than functional value.

Famous brands of European antique tableware include:

- Creil-Montreuil / Paris

- Digoin & Sarreguemines / Germany

- Choisy-le-Roi / Paris

- Sarreguemines / France

Using Japanese antiques like Imari or Arita ware would certainly be lovely as well.

They can be purchased on Rakuten as well,

➡ Search for antique plates on Rakuten

There are various brands and a multitude of designs, so it seems better to check local flea markets for size and texture while searching for your favorite design ♡

A Treasure for a Lifetime ♡

The idea of having calligraphy on an antique plate as a marriage certificate or ring pillow is truly lovely ♡

Searching for the perfect plate, finding a preferred calligrapher, and coming up with the wording... It's not something that can be done at the push of a button; it takes time and effort, but the joy when it's completed is incomparable.

It is bound to be a treasure that colors the wedding and accompanies your newlywed life ♡
