Aspenhome sees increase in furniture on bridal registries

Wedding bells are ringing, but as couples are getting married they are not wishing for toasters, blenders and coffee makers. Since the average age of newlyweds today is in the late 20s, many already have fully stocked kitchens, own their homes and are merging two complete households together.

So instead of registering for typical wedding gifts, they are focusing on redecorating their homes and are registering for furniture at their favorite stores. At these stores, their guests can purchase a piece of furniture or make a donation toward the entire set so the bride and groom will have a head start as they begin their new life together.

Today’s couples have studied home-decorating shows and they have specific ideas about how to remake their homes into a welcome oasis from their harried worlds. In fact, nesting is the 21st-century wedding couples’ second favorite past time.

But just like their romance, their home’s décor needs to be timeless, chic and comfortable. Many start by making the bedroom their haven: a special place to wind down, relax and reunite.

Aspenhome’s Potomac bedroom collection is a popular timeless choice. Inspired by classic American silhouettes, the collection is highlighted with a soothing Mt. Vernon cherry finish and designed with signature neo-classical carvings.

Just as with all furnishings by aspenhome, pieces in the Potomac collection are created with thoughtfully designed features including felt-lined jewelry drawers and cedar-lined storage drawers in the dresser.

Aspenhome has evolved during the past 27 years from a small family-owned home-entertainment business based in Phoenix to a full-line furniture company specializing in innovative products for the way people work, play and relax at home. Its collections includes bedroom, dining, home office, home entertainment, stationary and motion leather seating, and occasional furnishings.

Aspenhome is distributed by Furniture Values International.
