Gift Ideas
Select a few weddings gifts that you will cherish for a lifetime.
Consider Your Lifestyle
Your wedding gifts should reflect your personality and fit well into your lifestyle and home. This is your chance to start your own collections, create heirlooms and carry on family tradition so gifts that last a lifetime will carry the most weight.
Wedding gifts should be more about precious pieces that you’ll cherish rather than everyday items that will end up being thrown away.
Think about long term items such as dinnerware, crystal, cutlery, cookware, knives, carving sets, serving ware, linen and quality kitchen appliances.
Go for Quality
Look for brands that have stood the test of time. Fine bone
china stays in families for generations and will serve as a fond memory of your wedding day so look for enduring brands such as Royal Doulton, Wedgewood, and Villery and Boch. Waterford Crystal, Baccarat Crystal and Stuart Crystal are all go-to brands for fine crystal – just as Le Creuset, Chasseur and Esteele are the brands to seek for cookware. If you’re after enduring kitchen appliances look to Kitchen Aid, Kenwood and Dualit. For linen quality, brands such as Yves Delorme will last for decades. If you like a more contemporary feel seek out names like Georg Jensen, Kate Spade and Alessi or look for collaborations such as Jasper Conran for Waterford Wedgwood.
Start an Art Collection
An original artwork is a truly memorable gift. Whether you select an existing piece from one of your favourite artists or commission one especially for your wedding day, art will stay with you forever and serve as a tangible memory of your wedding day.
