CURATING YOUR WEDDING REGISTRY WITH ARTISAN GOODS
As you envision your dream wedding, every detail holds significance, especially when it comes to curating the perfect registry. In a world filled with endless options, we believe in taking a step back and choosing these items intentionally. Beyond the allure of one-of-a-kind finds and personalized touches, supporting local artisans adds an extra layer of meaning to your celebration. Below weβve curated a short list of some of our favorite brands and items to consider adding to your registry. (And if youβre not getting married right now, file under gift ideas for the next lucky couple!)
Before you go running to a department store for ease, websites like Zola and MyRegistry allow you to add links from any store so you can curate the items that you specifically connect with.
Neutral tones are always a safe choice for matching different tablescapes and dΓ©cor in your home. This placemat features an embroidered scalloped edge in a brown hue and is made from 100% cotton. This placement from morrow soft goods is a great way to add interest to your tablescape while also matching seamlessly with the rest of your tabletop items.
Who doesnβt love a champagne coupe at a dinner party? The Grace Champagne Coupe is part of a collaboration between Belgian lifestyle and design label Serax and fashion label Ann Demeulemeester, available to shop at Atrio. A classic champagne coupe with a tulip edge is a beautiful addition to your bar cabinet and will be a fun way to serve cocktails, champagne, and other delicious drinks!
A statement serving tray adds class and versatility to any home, from serving drinks to bringing a touch of flare to your coffee table. As you may have seen, chrome is a top trend for 2024 and will add sophistication to your home. This silver-polished squiggle tray from Sophie Lou Jacobson features two wavy, ribbon-like handles ideal for multiple occasions for years to come.
A cutting board that doubles as a serving platter is a must-have for every host. For your charcuterie spreads, action station appetizers, and dips, this beautiful hand-carved platter is the perfect addition to your kitchen. The London Plane Serving Platter is made from tight-grained wood and finished with a natural blend of oils and waxes for a smooth and lustrous feel. Because each board is hand crafted and differs from the next, yours will be as unique as you.
When setting the table or providing ornamentation to your mantel, candle holders are our favorite decorative piece to add height and create an opulent atmosphere. The Helen Candle Holders from dumae are mindfully made from local Los Angeles-based ceramists and add a touch of elegance to your space with their beautiful and delicate petal openings.
Another beautifully handcrafted piece from dumae, is their Esme Bowl. A decorative bowl is a great way to add texture and depth to your space. It can be used as a catchall, placed atop a stack of books to create interest, or as a centerpiece to your table. This bowl would be a timeless and harmonious addition to any home.
Rather than taking a safe route with white dinner plates, look to neutrals with simple patterns and designs that bring beauty and taste to your dinner table. The Arlene plate by Aerin is a perfect way to style your table with artisanal dinnerware. The hand-painted flowers are unique to each piece and make any meal a lovely sight to behold.
When planning your wedding registry, donβt forget to look outside the kitchen and dining rooms. These beautiful antique French tapestry cushions would be a charming addition to any sitting room. The Provence Lumbar Cushions from Cien Interiors are a perfect way to bring art into your home.
Doesnβt everyone love entering a home that smells of delicious home-cooked meals? We love the idea of a candle with notes of ripe tomatoes that remind us of summer dinner parties in Italian gardens. Having this candle burning in your home will leave your guests with memories of good conversations, good food, and great memories.
A Pepper Mill is a kitchen staple for us, and this brass mill from Amber Interiors will look beautiful on your kitchen counter or shelves. We appreciate an item that is highly functional while also showcasing the splendor of good design.
Vases are a classic way to add height, texture, and color to empty spaces in your home. We admire this hand-built vase made from textured clay by Cour Studio, available at Panoplie. This vase would be a perfect addition to an entryway, dining table, or shelves.
We absolutely adore these water tumblers from Panoplie. The oblique lines around the glass create a textured feel that meets the delicate wavy rim on the glass. These glasses are made from 100% Borosilicate Glass by Ichendorf Milano and are dishwasher safe.
Gingham is commonly associated with a rustic or vintage aesthetic, evoking feelings of nostalgia and simplicity. This timeless gingham tablecloth from Panoplie, made from 100% linen, will bring a touch of whimsy and warmth to any setting.
In addition to your everyday linens and towels, this Italian-inspired hand towel from Nickey Kehoe is sure to be a stunning piece for any primary or guest bath. The intricate hand-crocheted macrame lace and fringed edge are truly remarkable and turn a hand towel into a work of art.
The Bistrot collection from Sabre Paris was inspired by restaurants, terraces, and cafes from around Paris. These utensils transport us back to a cafe in Paris in our own home. The utensils are made from stainless steel with acrylic handles that are durable for everyday use.
For every dinner party, small gathering, or date night, youβll want a versatile serving dish for your food to be displayed upon. We adore these one-of-a-kind ceramic serving dishes from Hotel Magique. A wall hook is included with each piece to showcase on your walls as a work of art. They are sure to catch the attention of your guests and showcase your taste for unique and fun serveware.
As you embark on this journey together, embrace the joy of curating unique treasures that resonate with your style and values, knowing that each item carries a piece of someone's dreams and dedication. By choosing to support global artisans, you're not just filling your home with beautiful items; you're nurturing communities, fostering creativity, and spreading love in its purest form.
