I know I'm probably breaking some unspoken rule here, but I like them both for different reasons. My rule about this wedding is basically "waste not, want not"... if I can't repurpose it in some way, I don't want to waste $$ on it.

I know I'm probably breaking some unspoken rule here, but I like them both for different reasons. My rule about this wedding is basically "waste not, want not"... if I can't repurpose it in some way, I don't want to waste $$ on it. So for my flutes, I can totally envision them on display on top of my entertainment center in the corner, maybe with some candle in them (and if we ever need toasting glasses again, we have them), opposite corner is our heart sand unity thing we're doing with the kids, with a picture of the temple we are getting sealed in hung in the back on the wall. With the cake servers, I wanted them to have that timeless, heirloom feel to pass on and use for birthdays, my kids' weddings, etc... I am really sad I don't have my great grandmothers silver set. Anyway, this is is what I found Smiley smile They don't match, but I love 'em....

    I don't think it matters. Most people will never notice unless of course it bugs you. They are gorgeous by the way.

    Nobody... and I mean, NOBODY, will notice this. Who is going to be checking for that? And things don't have to be crazy matchy-matchy anyways. The both look silver.... what more should be matching?!

    Overthinking.. don't do it. Save your brain. Too many other things to worry about!

    We got a beautiful set of Waterford flutes from my mom and dad when we got engaged so we will use those. But our wedding is more rustic themed so we got a rustic twine set of cake cutter stuff

    We're planning to toast with a pair of goblets from the catering/rentals company we hired. I bought a Rada bread knife to cut the cake because it's all silver and very plain and then I can use my grandmother's frilly silver cake server with it.

    No one will even know. Our glasses are redneck wine glassessince they were a Xmas gift. For the cake knife and server I bought a cheap set on amazon.

    I honestly thought this was a joke until I saw all the earnest replies. NOBODY will notice the "mismatch" (and most people won't notice anything about either of these items or the fact that they existed). Use what you like and don't look back!

    They are both beautiful. I honestly have neither noticed either at a wedding either. Not sure if we plan on getting either...

    I want buying anything special for them much less making them match.

    I am not buying either. I have never even looked at either at any weddings I've been to. Essentially if you like them, want them, and can afford them that's all that matters.

    Sorry, I just got back. I had to run out to get supplies for tonight, I had to teach at my church. Then run to take my daughter to her dad, etc.. etc...

    My venue doesn't provide them because it's in our church cultural hall... lol

    Mrs.F2B, I just found them on David's Bridal, online only. But I know Michaels also has them. And Invitations by Dawn, as well.

    Honestly, you see them sold in sets, or "coordinating pieces", so I just thought it was a thing. I thought everyone bought them like that... lol
