Vintage Tea Parties. Hire or buy debate.

Hire or buy? Well obviously im going to say hire, & hire from us, but let me tell you why... Collecting vintage China for an event seems like a great idea, it is soo pretty and looks fantastic . Other brides have done it, how hard can it be?... 'answer....Very!' What starts off as a lovely DIY project can soon turn into a nightmare leaving you £s out of pocket . You really do not need the added stress of searching/buying the amount you need, in time for your big day. Being a vintage hire company I always have my magpie goggles on and over the past two years I have seen China prices rocket with the popular vintage trend. Don't get me wrong there are still bargains to be had but probably not many in the time scale that is your wedding. Expect to pay around £15.00 for a vintage cup, saucer & tea plate, now times that by your guest list...alot isn't it?! and that's before you get started on teapots, sugar bowls & tongs,milk jugs, cake stands.... the list is endless. At Chintz 'n' China our antique China is stunning and in perfect condition . We provide a free washing up service, will deliver and collect from your venue and for a small fee lay the China on your tables. For stress free planning we also offer a full venue decoration service with fresh flowers straight out of the cottage garden. Instead of paying that £15.00 for a trio the cost to hire would be £2.50 We specialize in tiered cake stands (which as i wright this humble little blog are being hired and used by the Russian Olympic team for the London Olympics) they look absolutely stunning for afternoon tea or to place your canapes on. Of course the real beauty of hiring China from us is that we will look after you and when your finished using it we will come and clear it and take it back to its home, ready for the next happy couple Packages start from £50.00 please see our website for further details.www.chintznchinavintagehire.co.uk
