Doulton Plate

Doulton Plate

If you're getting married soon, you might want to start thinking about your china pattern. In addition to the millions of other things you have to do, it might seem a little trivial to worry about which china pattern you should select, but it's actually an important tradition for many brides-to-be. In order to help you and the groom choose the best china pattern, below is a guide to help you. Just keep in mind that fine china is a bit expensive and something that you probably won't purchase often, so when selecting a pattern, choose something that is timeless. Keep in mind your interior decor style while you're out choosing a pattern, so it coordinates well.

Tip 1: Your shopping should include the groom as well. Although his interest may not be as high as yours, you can still get his input on patterns and designs. Take notes on what you liked and what you didn't like.

Tip 2: Agree on a price range for your fine china. If you're not including on your registry, you will have to budget for it. Even if it's on your registry, it's not guaranteed that you'll get all of the pieces; guests might be turned off by their high price. Setting a budget and sticking to it is helpful when shopping for fine china.

Tip 3: Before you select your pattern you should think realistically about how you're going to use it. Is it going to be reserved for special occasions only or are you going to use it daily? If you're going to opt for daily use, you should be careful to choose china that has minimal or no metallic edging. China patterns like the Lenox McKinley or the Lenox Charleston aren't ideal if you're going to be using them heavily. They have beautiful, but delicate metallic detailing in nearly all aspects of the pattern. Instead a pattern like the Wedgwood Chinese Flowers could be ideal.

Tip 4: When in the store, try and visualize the china on your dining room table, or with food on it. Do you like what you're visualizing? Does it coordinate with the rest of your decor? Is its design classic or more modern and trendy? Will it stand the test of time or go out of style in a few years? These are all questions you should ask yourself when selecting the china of your dreams.

Tip 5: It also wouldn't hurt to register for a pattern that you know will be available in the store for years to come. If a plate break 10 or 20 years after your wedding, it's much easier to just go back to the store to find a replacement, than to hunt around for some obscure/out-of-commission pattern.

Tip 6: When placing items on your registry, give your guests the choice of gifts in different price ranges. Register for additional china pieces like gravy boats and sugar bowls, as well as complete five-piece place settings.
