Spring is coming and that means one thing, wedding season is upon us! At Kellie Burke Interiors we know that every modern bride has a lengthy to-do list, and one thing we’d be happy to help with is the bridal registry.
The first step with bridal registries is to sit down with your fiancé and talk about what kind of lifestyle you will have as a married couple? Will you be frequent entertainers, with your home always open to friends and family? Will you be casual or formal? Once you have determined the type of lifestyle you will have a good idea of what items and products you will want to register for. We recommend that, when registering, you focus on high quality basics. These kind of items will last you for years and will allow you to mix and match trends in as your tastes and styles change.
A great option for tableware is Vietri. Vietri is a fabulous line because it is versatile. It is suitable for everyday use, dishwasher and microwave safe. It also sets a beautiful table, perfect for large family dinners, as well as includes many, many serving pieces, all making it ideal for the entertaining couple. We love the Bianco and Incanto lines; Bianco is your classic white tableware. With simple, clean lines it is great for a couple with modern or classic style. It also allows for trendy colors or patterns to be mixed in, and of course, Vietri has both. Incanto, also white, is slightly more formal than Bianco, as each piece has a texture or surface pattern. Elegant details such as scalloped edges, fluted bowls, lace and baroque details make it perfect for a couple who loves design details or enjoys more formal entertaining.
In keeping with our love for basics in white, we recommend registering for white sheets and towels; we love the clean, fresh look that they give a space. For sheets suggest Legna classic sheets in cloud white (don’t forget, 2 sets!) and for towels we like to wrap ourselves in Abyss 100 percent cotton in white (also Oprah’s favorite).
A few more tips to keep in mind: Make sure to vary your price points to keep options available for all guests. And, your guests will want to give you something that you will remember them by (the vase from Aunt Sally, a beautiful monogrammed sheet set from your sister –in-law). A good way to do that is to register for unique items at a smaller boutique store with a personal service. In addition to giving you the attention that you deserve, it will also give your guests a pleasurable experience!
