The busy bride -to -he
hasan endlesslist of
things to do as she plans
for the big day. Many of
these arrangements are
to hell) : prepare , her, for
the —gimes after the
wedding when as a new
wife she must ' sdt up
housekeeping.One of her
important tasks is;
choosing china, .crystal,'
and! flatware, Whether
future plans include
many large dinner
Parties'or quiet suppers
for two, whatever is
decided upon will cer-
tainly get a great deal of
____use..so..hast eetsions are
definitely discouraged,
First of all, let the
groom share in these
decisions, since he must
also live with final
choices. First, visit
various stores and
—a.mine everything
_gyailable. Then • discuss
each other's preferences
and choose styles and
patterns that you- both
like and that look good
together. Decide if you
want one set of tableware
or two. If you plan on
entertaining a great deal,
a "formal" plus an
"everyday" set makes
good sense. With some
basic planning they can
be used together tb create
striking table set-
tings...and you'll be able
to serve twice as many
people at the same time.
When shopping, don't
be shy. Try out different
combinations on the
counter so you can see
how they'll actually400k
together. •Pick up each
piece and check out how
it feels in your hands. Be

ast
sure to ask to see'.all the
pieces in a pattern you
especially like such as
serving bowls and
creamer and sugarset.
It's important to
achieve', a good balance
with all your choees. A
good basic rule suggests
that one pattern (glasses,
.china or . • flatware),
should have a different
look from the other two.
For example, avoid any
all plain or all fancy
groupings, If you like the
elaborate china with
fluted edges and flowery
design, team it up with
crystal and-flatwth e-ufta
more simple design,
For a guaranteed "go
together"' look, match up
colors, shapes, motifs
and' metals. For instance,
if you've already picked
out gold -rimmed china,
you might cari°'ih"rough
with the gold rim on
glassware, too. However,
in such a scheme, your
flatware can still be
silver. Or look for colored
glassware to echo a
favorite color in your
patterned china.
For -an eye -pleasing
change of pace, use
different styles of
tableware in one setting
such as modern glasses
and old-fashioned
sterling or cut crystal
goblets and con-
temporary stoneware:
This type of arrangement
is especially nice if you
have some family.
heirloom pieces such as
your grandmother's
silver...or even a few cut
glass serving pieces:
