Put aside the wedding planner book and start shopping! With the holiday sales having come to an end, last year’s gifts have been cleared off the shelves to make way for what we expect to be the most popular trends in gift-giving for 2018.
We’ve put together an up-to-date trend report and a carefully curated list of items that you must include in your wedding registry with the assistance of our knowledgeable partner, The Wedding Shop. This fabulous UK gift registry website specializes in gifts available. Recently, they’ve assisted us in developing skills for those who like to stay in the comfort of their own homes and also helped our wedding Musing couples create their first home.
In the past year, we saw the copper reigning king and greenery invade our homes. But at the turning of the calendar, we are seeing bolder and more vibrant updates. What’s on our list of gifts? We’re hoping that the Wedding Shop will offer us their official trends report for 2018, and we’re prepared using our registry scanning app!
Statement Artwork
Artwork is rapidly becoming a top item on the wedding registry. Couples are looking to purchase artwork that lasts for a lifetime, and we find that people love buying this for their loved ones as well! Rise Art, the wedding shop’s companion company Rise Art has such a wide selection of artwork from hundreds of original artists that our customers have plenty to pick from.
Smart Home Technology
This Sonos Smart Speaker that comes with Amazon Alexa built-in is certain to be a popular gift for this year’s list. As 2018 begins, we expect that a variety of smart home gadgets will be appearing on a growing number of gift lists.
Statement Lighting
Floor lamps are a rage and also great at creating an atmosphere as well. The Wedding Shop has so many amazing lighting options made by the Graypants collection. Do you like the neon trend? Find personal neon heart signs made from bags and bones. We’re predicting that these signs will be appearing at wedding ceremonies and in-home wedding registries as well.
Classic Pieces Get An Update
Traditional dishes have been given a new look. The giant of the kitchen, Le Creuset, has always been at the forefront of staying on top of trends, making their classic casserole dishes as well as cookware that is updated with the latest colors. The most recent Rosemary Collection is very fresh and trendy for the year 2018. Brands such as Alessi and Barista & Co make classic kitchen and coffee accessories that are modern in design to let couples refresh their kitchen and dining room accessories with something they’re proud to put on their sideboards.
Subscriptions
The Wedding Shop now partners with several of the top monthly subscription services available, giving couples gifts that will keep giving. From weekly deliveries of flowers to monthly wine deliveries to their door, Subscriptions are quickly taking over the gifting world.
Gold & Brass Over Copper
Tables for the side, as well as lighting and home accessories, are all shifting away from copper and in favor of brass and gold finishes. They are timeless and go perfectly with other items in your home.
Concrete Accents
One of The Wedding Shop’s latest products, Lyon Beton, is a specialist in one of this year’s most fashionable design elements. Say hello to concrete accents! The most sought-after product? A stylish, cloud-shaped paper shelf. It’s an enjoyable and practical method to take advantage of this trend that is already stacked onto a myriad of couples’ lists of gifts.
Bar accessories
Cocktail Trollies in HTML0 and glasses that are the appropriate glass for the perfect mirror for the right drink were essentials in the summer of 2012, and as the holiday party season rolled in, we are seeing these as trendy items that are sure to remain. Shop for stylish bar trolleys at The House as well as One. World, and of course, LSA can be the popular brand to purchase beautiful glasses for your favorite drink.
