WEDDING HEAD

Wedding head is like bed head. You feel kind of groggy and dreamy. Mainly, you just look groggy. We have been on deadline for more than a week for D Weddings, so I’m buried in brides. Still, I’m always thinking about the homefront, as are our brides (when they are not sorting out catering quotes and trying on gowns). Some of the newest wedding registries are: Napa Home which has one of the best dinnerware collections in town.

I love Marc Blackwell’s Robin’s egg blue china with silver trim and his rich, mahogany collection that looks like polished wood. I think I like them because they are blue and brown, two colors which continue to show up everywhere and always manage to look chic.

Speaking of pretty blues Peacock Alley’s brand new line, Vera Bradley is something I discovered while perusing their wedding registry. Vera Bradley’s claim to fame are her pretty cotton handbags and totes in pretty colors, that celebrity moms like Cindy Crawford carry. Bradley and Peacock Alley have teamed up on bedding, and since I’m a huge fan of blue and white, I love her blue and white paisley and blue and white coral patterns.David Feld says coral is out and he’s probably right, but nobody seems to be listening. Coral, like blue and brown — which has theoretically been out for several years– just keeps hanging in there.
