FAQs
Creating Your List
Why should we have a gift list?
Your wedding guests will want to buy you a wedding present to celebrate your marriage. Creating a gift list gives your guests an easy and flexible way to choose wedding presents they know you will love and also need.
Even if you already have the basics for your life together, a gift list will enable you to build or upgrade your collection of homewares that you will love, and use, for a lifetime.
A gift list also avoids the risk of you ending up with multiples of the same present or things you simply don’t want.

When should we set up our gift list?
We would recommend having your gift list ready for when you send out your invitations, (traditionally about eight to ten weeks before your wedding).
Depending on how long you would like to take to create your list, we’d advise you to come to visit our London showroom four to six months before your wedding. However, we are completely flexible and we can help you build your list as quickly or slowly as you need.
You can add presents to your list right up until your wedding day.

How do we set up our gift list?
You can set up your gift list online or in our London Showroom. Here you'll meet your dedicated Wedding List Advisor who will make recommendations for your gift list that are tailored to your tastes and needs. They will curate a selection of your favourite brands to get you started, and introduce you to lesser-known designers we know you’ll love. You'll be able to see presents in person and start adding presents to your wedding list right away.
Once you have registered your list with us, it will be live for your guests to see. If you would prefer to build your list privately and set it live when you’ve finished creating your list, just let us know.

What if we can’t visit your showroom to choose our presents?
If you can’t make it to our showroom, don’t worry. We offer Virtual Appointments that are just as tailored and bespoke. You’ll meet your dedicated Wedding List Advisor via a Zoom video call and receive the same tailored experience and product knowledge, all from the comfort of your own home.
Simply request an appointment, and your Wedding List Advisor will reach out to you prior to the appointment to discuss your styles and personality. During the appointment, your advisor will share a personalised selection of gift ideas and brands, and you can create your wedding list together.

How much does creating a gift list cost?
Our service always has and always will be complimentary for our couples. We don’t charge for showroom appointments and the dedicated personal service you will experience having a list with us.
Delivery is complimentary for Guests who spend £75 or more. Presents costing less than this are subject to a delivery charge of £2.99. Please note delivery will be made directly to the couple and will not be sent to the guest. For guests contributing to any Cash Fund or Honeymoon Fund, there is a 1.9% handling fee. Unlike many other wedding registry services, we don't profit from these funds. We only charge this cost to cover the transaction costs charged by our payment gateway provider, Stripe.
Guests contributing to Charity Funds are not charged this fee. We pay the transaction costs on charitable donations as a gesture of goodwill for their generosity towards a good cause.
