I started shopping at Astier de Villatte, the Parisian company that manufactures milky ceramics by borrowing 18th-century techniques, after a couple I know who collects the stuff got engaged.
All are made in black terra cotta with a white enamel glaze; this season, the same bases are being incorporated into a new line of lamps (in case you want to buy something for yourself, too).
But whatever you choose, don’t forget to include some candles.
Or, if you prefer 100 percent beeswax, get the Taper Trio from Alysia Mazzella: With its upcycled fabric wrapping, you’ll have them thinking about “something new, something old, something borrowed, something blue” long before the wedding arrives.
