China has always been an essential item on a couple’s wedding registry. A china set will be used for hosting decades worth of holidays and celebrations among closest friends and family. In between uses, it is often kept on display in a couple’s home, a lifelong reminder of the couple’s marriage and those memories of hosting those near and dear to them. Due to the importance of a china set, one struggle that a couple may face is finding the right set for their personalities, hosting style, and home decor, all while having to stay timeless and last for years. Traditional china sets that your parents or grandparents may have gotten for their weddings were often elegant and elaborate. Some couples choose to stick with tradition and pick china patterns similar to those they have been in their mothers’ or grandmothers’ china cabinet, most commonly floral or filigree patterns, often with touches of gold silver.
