Dinnerware - Is it right for your Bridal Registry?
Fashion
or fad? In the past china or porcelain was selected on the
manufacturers brand name and was instantly recognizable to the
practiced diner. Indeed there was a time when Michelin stars
were awarded in part on the quality and providence of the
dinnerware manufacturer.
The
current generation are not familiar with the classic names in
French, German, Italian and English china manufacturers and like
so many facets of modern life are more aware of the cult of
personality. For example how many times do we watch a film based
on the stars rather than the review. Hence we now have fashion
designers working with leading brands such as
Waterford/Wedgewood creating lifestyle brands. They include
Versace, Jasper Conran, Vera Wang, Barbara Barry, Marc Jacobs
and now Monique Lhuillier (wedding dress designer).
If you
are choosing dinnerware for your bridal registry in the majority
of cases it is something that you will wish to use for the rest
of your life. In 10 years will it still be cool to name drop the
designer, will he or she still be in fashion? Of course the real
test is - do you like the design and believe you will enjoy it
for years to come. Do not buy on a fashion whim alone.
Now if
you want to buy a quality item that will be in fashion for many
years why not buy a Monet. Robert Haviland and C. Parlon have
been selling dinnerware originally designed by Monet for his own use for
many years. Dinnerware designed by the leading artist of his
generation - that's not a fad or fashion whim!
