The Registry

Gift giving has long been an element of wedding tradition . Originally more about financial gain for the bride ’ s or groom ’ s family , giving gifts evolved into a dowry , then a marriage chest of beautiful items the bride would need in her wedded life ( this later evolved into a hope chest ).

Today , gift giving is more complementary , a way of saying “ congratulations ” to the wedded couple . The wedding registry makes it easier for those looking for some to give — whether it ’ s something from the bride ’ s china , crystal and silver patterns , cookware or other kitchen items , linen and home decor or something more personal .
Following are wedding registry gifts from Dezignz by Nikki in Newton .
