A Marriage of Styles

Lots of local retailers, including some of the smaller boutiques, have registry services, so pluck a few favorites from various lines and come up with your own signature look.

January 2007

“Something old, something new” has become the modern-day mantra when it comes to registering. With today’s couples marrying at different stages, many have already made major investments for the home. When two people bring their prized possessions to the table—and the rest of the house—registering becomes an opportunity to accent those favorites with new collections, statement pieces, and little luxuries. In keeping with the trend of tasteful, eclectic home décor, registering is less about matching and more about mixing great design and function that’s not too feminine or too masculine. You needn’t register for twelve wine goblets in the same pattern and size. Mix it up. A pair here, a single there.
