Exquisite Bride, Plastic Flatware
We had a family wedding this weekend. The wedding was beautiful, the bride was exquisite and the flatware was plastic. Forget the clear stuff. This was shiny. I had no idea until I physically held the fork in my hand that it wasn’t stainless steel. And of course, I pulled out my camera and snapped a photo, verifying everyone’s suspicion at the table that I am in fact a freakazoid.
If I had not been at such a formal function, I might have tracked down the caterer and demanded to know the source of their cutlery. But I settled for a picture and later googled “plastic flatware that looks real”. The brand is called Reflections and is available at Amazon.com through a third-party seller, in large quantities. This product is geared towards caterers, unless of course you have room in your pantry for 600 forks. With that said, I won’t be purchasing any. However, if I am ever having an event catered, I would definitely ask about this new item. Below is a excerpt from the product description from Amazon.
Through the art of technological innovation, elegance and convenience unite. Reflections cutlery combines the radiant styling of fine flatware and the ease of single use. Upgrade your service with a product that offers the same shine and silver sparkle as real stainless steel. Reflections single use silverware is the only solution addressing both the need for a formal presentation and the high costs associated with renting or owning (cleaning, transporting and replacing) permanent flatware.
