World Class Manufacturer of Luxury Home Products Boasts Largest Wedding Product Guide
LOS ANGELES, June 25, 2001 - Engaged couples can now find all the information they need about registering for wedding gifts on WeddingChannel.com’s newly launched Registry Essentials guide, sponsored by Waterford Wedgwood U.S.A., Inc., which includes the following premium brands: Waterford Crystal, Wedgwood Fine China and All-Clad Metalcrafters cookware.
The new exclusive registry guide on WeddingChannel.com, the leading wedding planning resource and world’s largest bridal registry, educates engaged couples by showcasing hundreds of choices in tabletop, kitchenware and home decor products. The site also helps couples evaluate their style by providing a valuable profile of their buying choices.
Descriptions of “classic brides,” “romantic brides,” “hip brides,” “natural brides,” the “fashion plate bride” and the “diva bride” on WeddingChannel.com’s Registry Essentials enables brides to discover their own personal style. Once a bride determines that she falls into the “classic” category, for example, she learns that platinum-banded bone china is one of the best selections for her registry. Likewise, the “diva” will discover that a dramatic geometric dinnerware pattern is tailor made for her.
“We have been an important part of wedding traditions for over two centuries, and our luxury gifts of fine crystal, china and cookware are the cherished choice of many engaged couples as they celebrate their new life and first home,” said Chris McGillivary, president and CEO, Waterford Wedgwood, U.S.A. “Partnering with WeddingChannel.com and developing an informative Registry Essentials product guide together allows us to continue servicing bridal couples in a manner that is much more exciting, informative and immediate.”
“Today’s weds-to-be are choosing registry items that suit their individual needs and styles,” said Adam Berger, president and CEO of WeddingChannel.com. “By showcasing Waterford Wedgwood brands and products we are providing a valuable service to our 1,000,000 couples by assisting them in their registry decision making process as they formulate lifetime brand decisions.”
