Q: Would it be improper to mix in eight silver plated settings with twelve gold plated settings? – Julie L. A: Absolutely not! The more you mix, the better it is! Have fun, mix it up and let your personality shine though. Mix-and-match place settings allow you to set the table differently every time. I love to collect antique and vintage place settings and flatware—it adds fun and just the right amount of drama to the table. The only rule here is to go with what you like!
