This modern and chic rehearsal dinner at the Wharf Dockmaster Building in DC set the tone for the couple’s wedding weekend! While most wedding planning is focused on the big day, events like the welcome party and rehearsal dinner play a big part in setting the stage for the celebrations to come. The rehearsal dinner is often the first formal event of a wedding weekend, and it’s an opportunity to establish the atmosphere and aesthetic of the wedding. By carefully selecting the venue, menu, and decor, you can create a cohesive theme that will carry through to the wedding day itself!

Our stunning Nemo Marble Dinner Plates simultaneously gave a nod to the event’s modern design and incorporated a natural element into the table settings. Their subtle green hue looked great alongside the neutral floral arrangements designed by Sophie Felts and their marble design felt super luxurious.

Paired with our chrome flatware, the result felt sophisticated, modern, and elegant.
