What’s Tops for the Table Place settings with personal style in mind 
When it comes to picking out fine china for their bridal registry, most couples have to figure out what design would best set off and frame that slab of turkey and mound of mashed potatoes at the annual Thanksgiving dinner. To simplify the decision-making, they often stick with mom’s tried-and-true suggestion of a gleaming stark white set. But, tabletop brands are rolling out fresher concepts as newlyweds buck tradition and infuse their own personalities into the wedding and the registry. Some may forego the fancy plates in favor of something more casual or they may choose to use their china on an everyday basis. “Designers are responding to who the bride is,” says Darcy Miller, editorial director of Martha Stewart Weddings. “The bride has a more modern sensibility. She doesn’t want what grandmother has, and she doesn’t want to feel old-fashioned.” One option manufacturers, such as the Martha Stewart Collection with Wedgwood, are giving brides is the ability to mix and match their tableware. Instead of registering for 10 settings of one pattern, a couple can register for five from one look and five from another from the same designer that can be easily interchanged. China color and shapes are also evolving. Royal Doulton and Noritake are injecting spring colors and art deco-inspired patterns on their settings. Like the changing look of the wedding cake, plates aren’t always round these days. Designers are adding more organic shapes like square and curved dishes and even integrating other materials in tabletop, like Dansk’s raised bands of bronze encircling the dinnerware. As the economy takes its toll on consumer spending, even besotted couples about to say “I do” are thinking of practicality and want to use their china more than twice a year. Companies are responding. Monique Lhuillier debuted a line of dinnerware with Royal Doulton and her “girls night in” ad showcases herself with three girlfriends surrounding a table filled with champagne and nibbles laid out on china. The tagline reads, “Why wait for a special occasion?... Life is short. Use the good china.” For those opting for more casual place settings, designers are creating looks that straddle the informal/formal divide. Vera Wang offers a “Naturals” stoneware collection. And, Kate Spade has introduced “Sag Harbor” dinnerware, a cheery, playful collection featuring polka dots and stripes in shades of green, navy or chocolate. Such china updates are a way for designers to tap into the consumer’s growing, cocooning needs. “With the tough economy, we think more people will be entertaining at home,” Miller says. |
