registry a no-go

Ever wait until the last minute to purchase a gift from a wedding registry? Don’t panic, I can help. You can tell a lot from a registry. If they like a particular brand (i.e. Simon Pearce, Kate Spade), but nothing is left (either in inventory or in your budget), search the site for other items by the same brand. If the couple has registered for wine glasses, get the matching decanter or wine bottle coaster. If they registered for linens, purchase complementary monogrammed ones - the newlyweds will be thrilled (see Serena & Lily throw below). Another great option that I am obsessed with is the Celebration bowl from Simon Pearce. It’s a classic. You can personalize the bowl with the couple’s name and wedding date. Since you don’t need to give wedding gifts the day of, you have time to go the extra mile with the personalization (which is what makes it so great). If a couple is registered at Simon Pearce, shipping is free. Who wouldn’t love a little Simon Pearce New England charm?
