Replacement fees vary by item and are dependent on the value of the item itself, shipping costs, and our ability to resource and restock it.

Please see below for general guidelines (subject to change) and check the product page for further details:

  • Flatware: sleeves of 10
  • Napkins: stacks of 10
  • Votives: boxes of 25
  • Napkin rings: increments of 5

Products are priced individually.

Do you sell any of your rental items?

None of our rental items are available for purchase.

Can I request a certain shade of color or size within mixed collections?

Unfortunately, we are unable to take requests about a specific shade of votive or pattern of the plate in the collections that contain a mix of colors or sizes—the beauty is in the variety!

Upholstered furniture, napkins, table linen, and runner fabrics may have subtle variations in color and size.
