Our brilliant Showroom Manager (and highly experienced Wedding List Advisor), Emily, has joined us today to share her favourite wedding presents from our Online Showroom, and share her top tips for building a timeless wedding list that you and your guests will love. Emily was married 4 years ago and had her own wedding list with The Wedding Present Company. Having recently bought and refurbished a house in Earlsfield, she knows a thing or two about choosing presents that you will love and use forever, no matter where life takes you. Join us as we chat to Emily about her style, her go-to sources of inspiration and her expert advice on building a wedding list.
I would describe my style as classic with a love for pattern and colour. I love bright and colourful fabrics, block print, pretty florals, brass finishes and mostly traditional furniture.
Think of it as an opportunity to put together a list of all things you have ever wanted for your home, but wouldn’t necessarily buy for yourself. Choose presents which will last a lifetime, but don’t be afraid to put on items which will bring some colour, fun and enjoyment to your new life as a married couple.
The bedroom. You can fill it with so many memorable keepsakes and photo frames, making it really personal. I love using pretty bed linen and colourful fabrics and cushions in my bedroom, which makes me look forward to waking up every day!
I think the older generation would rather buy you something traditional, which will last forever. Good choices are Le Creuset cookware, China, or a good quality set of glassware.
Guests love to stand out with their choices, and they prefer to choose something that you will remember them by. I made sure I added lots of decorative serve-wear, from jugs, platters and bowls to more stand out pieces like a beautiful table lamp, and colourful vases.
