Wedding Wednesday: Registering For Dinnerware

Have you noticed? Couples rarely register for china anymore. I suggest, after years of entertaining, that a young couple selects two different types of dishes: 1) a casual set that works well with your kitchen colors and style, and 2) a more elevated style for entertaining. Something different from the everyday fare will be fun to own. It doesn't have to be china. Don't worry so much about the prices, your guests want to give you something nice. Here's inspiration!

CB2 Dinnerware

One set features a marble pattern in black and white. The other set is white trimmed in charcoal. Both are sophisticated, affordable, and pair well together. Don't be afraid to mix and match.

HERE: 17 Ways To Add Some Luxe 
To Your Registry

Lenox Prismatic Gold Dinnerware

Artful with playful dots, this dinnerware is modern table dressing. I am one who feels that a new couple actually does need at least two sets of dishes. One for every day, and one for special occasions. Even if you live a casual lifestyle, there will be the day when you find yourself hosting the holidays or entertaining the boss. This is fun! But if you want something a little more casual, scroll down.

Ricci Argentieri Place-Setting

Flatware that makes a bold statement, and pairs well with the above dishes.

 

Kiva Platters
Because presentation is key! Serve up cheese, charcuterie, or any time of appetizer on these Anna New York by Rablab pieces. See the entire collection HERE. 

Annieglass Serverware
Sustainably handcrafted in California, these pretty party pieces mix metals in the best ways. Most styles are available in both silver or gold gilt. 

Orrefors Ice Cube Votive

You'll have plenty of chances to set the mood in your new marriage. These gorgeous glass cubes are modern and blend perfectly into every decor. I'd request a dozen of  them for all of your parties to come.

Nambe Cabo Salad Set

You will use this artistic design for years to come. Perfect your Caesar Salad skills, and serve it in this.

SFERRA Festival Cocktail Linens
You may no think you need these, but think again. Paper is cute for kids parties, but you are grown up. Nothing beats linen. These are not expensive, especially if you aren't paying for them. There is a color for every decor. Ask for plenty, too. 

All-Clad Stainless Steel Fondue Set 
Fondue for two or twenty two is always a good time. The ceramic insert of this set is a good thing. If you want to throw a party and use one for cheese or oil and one for dessert sauces, you may want to register for more than one.

Lulu Assorted Champagne/Martini Glasses

Now this is a good idea. Loving the modern contemporary lines of this glassware. And because everyone drinks something different, you get four unique designs, for four different cocktails. I would request at least six sets of these, because glasses break! 

Luigi Bormioli Beer Glasses
Always keep a couple in the freezer to serve up a craft beer to your guests. These are an affordable "must have!"

Jars Plume Dinnerware
Who says your everyday dinnerware has to be boring? This hand crafted stoneware from France is anything but, and still nice enough to use for company. Loving the organic look.

Riedel Stemless Wine Glasses
Riedel O gives a modern take to the traditional wine tumbler. I love the idea of a wine glass without a stem, but I do think that you need both. These take up less room, and are the perfect weight for holding and sipping.

Wine Enthusiast Push Corkscrew
As entertaining to watch as it is easy to use! 

Magisso Champagne Cooler

The entertainer really needs two champagne coolers. One for casual events (think kitchen counter or poolside) and one for special occasions. This one is fun because Of the chalkboard fabrication. It also keeps your bottles cold for 2- 4 hours. 

Villeroy & Boch Octavie 

These fabulous glasses also have a matching wine, champagne and old fashioned styles. Aren't they wonderful?  They are a little more expensive than some, but remember, you aren't paying for them.

Michael Aram Driftwood Cake Stand

Made of marble and nickel. This stand will make any cake sweeter! There is also a matching
Cake Server. 

Juliska Carine Champagne Bucket
Clearly chic and works with any decor. This beautiful bucket adds a touch of glam 
to any party.
