We are still in the last throes of wedding time, and let us be fair: Choosing a china pattern is a major perk of getting married! But picking a pattern can occasionally feel more difficult than picking your partner — especially if your taste extends beyond the typical metallic-rimmed plate.
Similar to marriage, registering for china is about commitment. Go daring and make a statement about your style using these patterned china settings. Do not be concerned about getting”tired” of a pattern; consider your choice a gorgeous representation of your taste at the time of your nuptials. Say no more to neutral and hello to tabletop sizzle! –Daniela from Aesthetic Oiseau
