The Best Wedding Gifts for Every Couple

You know you’re dealing with serious home cooks when their regular weeknight meals consist of homemade tortellini, Wagyu steaks and lobster bisque. And while they might have dinner in hand, you can be the one to complete their table with Villeroy & Boch’s Iconic La Boule set. The perfect meeting of classicism and modernity, the pristine porcelain set truly is made for two – it includes a pair of bowls, flat bowls, plates and a single serving plate to share. Here’s to a lifetime of chic dinners. 

One for sorrow, two for joy. Yes, it’s time to introduce the couple equivalent of magpies. With their shared expert eye, flare for antiques and penchant for all things shiny, this couple will be looking to mark their lives together with a new, joint obsession. Enter: Christofle.

For over a century, the famed French Maison of master silversmiths have used traditional techniques to craft prestigious creations that celebrate the ‘art of living’ – think elegant photo frames, showstopping silver centerpieces and dinnerware set for an innately fabulous feast. Of course, every collection must start somewhere, and the white matte-meets-glazed interior Babylone vase makes a particularly fitting gift for newlyweds. Plus, the intricate braided rope design of the base brings a whole new meaning to ‘tying the knot’ in style. 

To this couple, entertaining is more than serving a meal, it is about joie de vivre. A seasonal menu, exceptional wine pairings, an impeccable table curated for maximum enjoyment and style, but – most importantly – a gathering of friends and loved ones for unforgettable moments shared. To celebrate their love of hosting – and show your appreciation for their generosity – present them with a centerpiece that will shine day or night.

With geometric motifs evocative of ancient Egyptian pyramids, this Baccarat vase crafted from the purest crystal will catch the sun’s rays during one of their sophisticated Sunday lunches and set the tone for stylish soirées come evening. Filled with a bouquet or displayed alone, your favourite couple can expect plenty of compliments.

Bars, restaurants, theatres – none give this couple as much joy as relaxing à deux and snuggling up circa 10pm. Forget magnums and master plans of wild nights, these laidback lovebirds will be thrilled to receive a stylish R&R mascot in the form of Trudon’s Cyrnos candle. With its warm notes of lavender, black fig, citrus and cedarwood, the Cyrnos scent will allow them to experience a honeymoon aroma long after they’ve returned back to their shared sanctuary. Granted, this might mean they’ll rarely emerge, but when they do, you’ll be the first person they visit. 

How to spot the artistic couple? Well, the vast vinyl collection, near-encyclopedic knowledge of the local natural wine scene and scheduled honeymoon trip to Bilbao are certainly handy hints. Match their appreciation for bold prints and true originality with a colourful ceramic by Laetitia Rouget. A French artist living in Lisbon, her joyful homewares are handmade ‘with love and naughtiness’ and are the perfect match for the couple that want their home to be more Guggenheim than old-school glamour.
