If you answered mostly As, your registry style is classic formal.
Honor your deep love for elegant traditions by registering for simple, classically-inspired china in white or ecru. Look for subtle, timeless patterns with black, gray, navy, or metallic accents that appeal to your refined sensibility and eye for enduring style. If you plan on hosting a large number of formal dinners, you'll find that china with an understated graphic or metallic band will be easy to accessorize. Combined with festive chargers, fine linens and beautiful accent pieces, these timeless designs will allow you to create a new look for every event you celebrate.
Your classic sense of style also extends to your choice of crystal patterns. Consider setting your table with superbly radiant heavy cut crystal in a complementary classic design. Cut in a tailored or heirloom pattern, your formal crystal will twinkle like diamonds against candlelight.
If you answered mostly Bs, your registry style is modern formal.
Out with the old, in with the You, that's your motto. While your appreciation for formal styling leads you to china with white or ecru backgrounds, your eye for eclectic style prompts you to choose off-beat combinations of graphics, colors, and metallics. Consider a banded china pattern with an unexpected faux finish of bamboo, marble or tortoise shell and look for unusual silhouettes, striking colors and out-of-the-ordinary shapes.
For your crystal, consider the of-the-moment style of an etched pattern. Create a stir by choosing elegant ornate or asymmetrical designs with artful details. Finely etched crystal will lend your table a modern edge that will complement even the most eclectic tabletop design.
If you answered mostly Cs, your registry style is classic casual.
Because your entertaining style is less about fuss and more about fun, you'll want to register for beautiful china that can take you from an intimate easy brunch to a boisterous traditional holiday dinner. Give in to your love for comfortable, casual gatherings by registering for a crowd-pleasing china pattern that features splashes of color and touches of whimsy. Choose a white or light colored background that features cheerful florals, bright fruits and vegetables, spirited ginghams or sunny pastels.
Light cut crystal is the ideal choice for your brand of easy elegance. The understated shimmer of a light cut offers versatility, beauty, and can easily be dressed up or down. Consider patterns with a bit of asymmetrical whimsy, or choose designs that feature a cluster of light cuts that give way to clear crystal.
If you answered mostly Ds, your registry style is modern casual.
For you, ease, comfort and style are words to live by. You love unexpected colors and patterns, and need pieces that can take you from a casual patio luncheon to a relaxed dinner in your elegant dining room. Consider Asian-inspired or architectural china with sleek silhouettes and neutral, natural tones and patterns. Or look for unusual shapes like elipses, ovals, and squares and spare or monochromatic patterns.
There couldn't be a better complement to your love for clean lines and uncomplicated elegance than clear crystal. Simple, enduring, and graceful, clear crystal designs feature both simple stems for the true minimalist and ornate stems for those looking for just a touch of sparkle. If you are pairing your crystal with unusually shaped china, choose a pattern that features a classic silhouette. If you are combining your crystal with clean-lined, minimalist china, you may want to select a pattern with strong architectural elements, like a chiseled or column-inspired stem.
