With online access, you can manage your registry from wherever and whenever you want. Plus guests can purchase gifts for delivery anywhere in Australia. You can also enjoy the exclusive benefit of having an extended return date for exchanges, meaning there’s no need to rush back to the shops after you’ve tied the knot.

More so, and I think this is the most exciting part, West Elm’s free home stylist can meet you at your home or in the store, and help you pick items for your registry and to style your space.

You can also register with the rest of the Williams-Sonoma family: Pottery Barn, Pottery Barn Kids and Williams-Sonoma, with all of them having their own wedding and gift registries as well.

It really does make it more fun to set the table or have friends over when you have something a little more special than plain white plates (yes, like me, but I’m hoping to recitfy that thanks to my wedding registry, old school style). “White crockery will always have a place in the home, but our new collection of tabletop brings life to the dinner table. It bursts with colour and personality to make mealtime fun. With a nod to the 50s when bright colour shook up interiors, it’s playful , stylish and affordable,” said homewares buyer Vanessa Rothery.

Tips for combining his ‘n hers interior tastes for a happy home and a happy relationship

Or indeed his ‘n his or hers ‘n hers. We’re all inclusive here at Interiors Addict!

How to combine two people’s styles when moving in with your other half is something I’m often asked for advice on. I’m not sure I’m the best person to give it (or if my fiance would think so either). So I asked the girls at new Sydney wedding registry The Wedding Nest, for their top tips.

Their in-house interior stylist (former Belle interior design editor Imogen Naylor) works with their couples to collate a registry of gifts that will achieve a beautifully styled space true to both their individual styles.

Top tips

  1. Be involved together from the start! Even if one partner takes the lead, keep in mind that it’s best to consult the other partner regularly and ‘take them on the journey’ so they don’t block all the hard work by the time it’s well down the track.
  1. Plan! She might call this a mood board, he, a strategy, but either way the key here is agreeing on a vision. We invite couples to bring magazine cut-outs and to get pinning on Pinterest. Together they work through the collection to agree on a style or a selection of key pieces they both like that will suit their home.
