The Fact Maker

Finding the right wedding gift

Anyone who has ever been invited to a wedding knows the difficulty of choosing a suitable present for the bride and groom. What kind of gift is not only beautiful but also fitting for the special occasion? What is useful and yet not mundane? Villeroy & Boch has the answers.

  Objects to remember

Whether you get married only once in your life or several times, every wedding is a day to remember. Gifts received on this important occasion contribute significantly to this. The artwork on the wall, the vase in the hallway or the silver cup on the shelf – all these objects accompany us in our daily lives. Whether we only catch a glimpse of them now and again or take them out of the cupboard after many years, they awaken memories in us.

Therefore, a wedding gift should first and foremost be an object that will last, that will see the light again and again, or even have a permanent place at home. Large statement pieces, i.e. eye-catching individual objects, are perfect for this. Like the Traverse Urban Nature or the Flow bowl with its striking handle, which can be used in a variety of ways; for example, as a fruit and vegetable bowl or simply as an eye-catching decoration on a chest of drawers. And a special porcelain vase like Manufacture Collier with its beautiful relief structure, which is available in different sizes and colours, will certainly find a place of honour in the newlyweds’ home.

Timeless classics

One of the most popular wedding gifts is undoubtedly a timeless and elegant dinner service. Fine porcelain is passed down from generation to generation in many families and is part of every lovingly decorated festive table.

Amazonia and Avarua made of Premium Bone Porcelain are particularly captivating with their exotic and colourful patterns, which transform any festive table setting into a decorative highlight with little effort. And a collection like MetroChic also makes an excellent wedding gift. The fine details in 20 carat real gold make this service an elegant choice for special occasions. Future brides and grooms who are still looking for ideas for their wedding list can complete their dinner service with the cutlery collection of the same name (in high-quality stainless steel with a gold finish) or the matching MetroChic glasses made of crystal glass, which, with their extra- fine stems and slightly angular goblets, echo the geometric lines of the dinnerware and thus create a harmonious ensemble.

Practical highlight

The ultimate wedding gift is one which is not only high quality, useful and timeless, but also original at the same time. La Boule from Villeroy & Boch ticks all these boxes. At first glance, it looks like a large porcelain ball that can be placed in the middle of the table or on sideboards like an extravagant sculpture. Look closer, however, and you will notice that this sphere consists of seven individual sections that can be taken apart. Piece by piece, it can be used to create a tableware set for two, including two bowls, two deep plates, two shallow plates and a serving plate. La Boule is therefore not only an eye- catching highlight, but also the perfect setting for romantic dinners for two.
