Martha Stewart, the mother of hosting has incited the importance of having a beautiful tablescape even in a 20-something-year-old like me. The effect a little beautification does to your meal, particularly when you are hosting people feels thoroughly transformational— making you appear like a person who has it together. But, until and unless you have Martha-level money and storage in your home, this can feel like a far-fetched dream.
This is where Plate & Peonie, a luxury brand comes in. They offer customers exquisitely curated tableware on a rental basis in Mumbai. From table linens and placemats to crockery and barware to cutlery and decorative accents for the table— you can rent anything and everything you want to set up your dream table setting. They have hundreds of products in their rental catalogue that suit even the choicest of themes. Whether you are hosting a coquette-themed ladies' night or a jungle-themed brunch, just let their team know about your requirements and they will sort it out for you. Have no theme per se? Even better! Mix and match with different designs and patterns to set your vibe.
The rentals are based on a per-day charge and start as low as INR 54 for a placemat, INR 52 for a dinner plate, INR 77 for a tray and INR 60 for a pair of decor accents. The best part is that there's no pressure to grab each item, you simply pick what you like in the quantity that's required, post which their team shares a total cost including estimated shipping charges and GST. They take the headache of shipping and picking the products. All you have to be faithful about is keeping each of their offerings intact, and following the wash and care instructions they share with you once done using their beautiful pieces.
So, the next time you want to wear the hostess shoes and plan a Pinterest-inspired dinner at home, don't just save it to your overflowing folders; actually do it with Plate & Peonie's help!
