The Polin affair of Season 3 of Bridgerton isn't the only eagerly awaited romantic occasion this month because it's officially wedding season which can only mean one thing: you're looking for the wedding gift for someone and you just don't know what to get. It's certainly a daunting task but fear not, for we've curated a list of the seven best wedding gifts, each meticulously chosen to suit every wedding occasion. Whether you're attending an intimate gathering or a grand Bridgerton-style affair, these luxury homewares and gifts from Always Sunday are sure to delight the happy couple and become treasured mementos of their special day.
For the Newlywed Couple with a Newly Bought Home
It’s true that getting married is almost always about compromise. From where you spend the holidays (his mother’s.. again?), to what shade of green you paint the kitchen. When it comes to the couples’ cookware collection though, we don’t believe in compromise. After all these are the pots and pans they’ll be making dinner together and arguing over the washing up together for the rest of their lives. It might as well be something that brings them marital bliss.
Our enamel kitchenware collection is designed by a collective of artisans in Denizli, Turkey who have been making enamelware by hand for generations using the same traditional techniques used when they first began. We’ve worked with these same artisans to curate our own collection of enamel cookware in colours like Bath Blue (a dusky Georgian blue like the Bridgerton signature colour) and Primrose Pink and is designed to last years worth of recipes and arguments.
For the Not-So-Newlywed
This isn’t their first rodeo, they’ve been here before. They’ve got the T-shirt, the tux and the bumper sticker that says ‘Second marriage’ (or third or fourth) so they’ve probably got everything they need and won’t have a wedding list.
Our advice? Give them something that involves neither of them cooking and a hefty amount of wine with a prepaid booking for a homemade, and award winning, roast dinner at Town+House pub by Always Sunday.
For the Non-Traditional Couple
This couple probably loves a gift that comes with a story as unique as theirs. They likely have already amassed a handpicked collection of ceramics handmade by small makers and love to showcase their favourites. Choose an organically-shaped platter hand thrown by Slovenian artist Hana Karim in colours like Denim Blue, Sea Frost or Apricot, or pick out a matching set of egg cups, one for each of them, hand thrown by ceramicist HLW Ceramics for their Saturday morning breakfasts together.
For the Elopement
If the couple is taking their wedding on the go (or planning a destination wedding), we can’t think of anything better than our Fieldbar coolers which can keep two bottles of champagne inside and perfectly chilled for up to 50 hours, in five gorgeous Pantone hues. Perfect for the post-ceremony toast, just the two of them, while watching the sun go down. (Don’t forget to pair with a couple of our picnic flutes so they don’t have to sip out of plastic cups!)
For the Fairytale Wedding
You’re going to the wedding of the year (think the lavish ceremony in Crazy Rich Asians or the three-part extravaganza Priyanka Chopra and Nick Jonas planned for their union) so you need something as decadent and opulent as the occasion itself.
Our highly coveted Velvet Collection of perfectly plump velvet quilts and matching fringed cushions has just the right amount of timeless opulence for the couple who love the finer things in life. In colours like Bronze, Peacock Blue, Pearl and the bestselling Eucalyptus green, mix and match or choose one colour and gift a complete set.
For the Courthouse Wedding
These newly weds are going for effortless; an understated ceremony with a few chosen friends and family members and a candlelit dinner in their favourite restaurant afterwards. If you’re one of the lucky few to be invited to this intimate affair, choose a gift that is simple yet classic like our Georgian-inspired wine glassware with their finely tapered stems and timeless silhouette.
Getting married at the Guildhall in Bath? Pair a set of wine glasses with a handmade set of cheese knives and a wedge of Bath Blue, it’s a classic gift for a classic couple.
For the Honeymooners
For most couples, so much of the planning goes into the wedding that there’s barely any head space (or budget) left to consider the honeymoon. Tick one thing off their list and book them a mini-moon in one of our Always Sunday Boltholes. Our beautiful Georgian cottages are located in central Bath, right by the shop and Town+House pub, and harness all the original features with a stylish twist and packed with Always Sunday signatures like our enamel kitchenware, Divine Savages wallpaper, and gorgeous hand picked artwork. Each one is perfectly cosy; the ultimate romantic getaway spot in Bath. Pick up a vintage bookshelf board game and his and hers velvet dressing gowns and book them a stay for a dreamy honeymoon in Bath.
Shopping for the couple who loves to shop or can't decide which of the above to get them? Treat them to an Always Sunday Gift Card so they can pick their own present, on you!
Congratulations to the happy couple!
