Wedding Registries
at Becca Van Fleet Pottery
Congratulations on your upcoming
wedding! At this stage, perhaps you've
begun perusing the many sites dedicated
to dish-buying for newlyweds.
And perhaps you're thinking to yourself, "wouldn't it be great to have dishes
with a little more personality?" Or maybe you'd simply like to add a few accent
pieces to a line of dinnerware from another company.
Whether you'd like to outfit your entire kitchen with "functional artwork," or
you'd just like a few special items, I'm happy to provide you with the
opportunity to register for truly unique handmade pottery.
Please have a look at examples of recent registries I've done to give you an idea
of what to expect:
Sam and Liz
Lindsay and Jon
A Few Things To Consider . . .
Types of pieces. Since the majority of what I make is one-of-a-kind (I have no
"line" per se), most couples have taken their cues from photos of my recent
designs, found in the shopping section of my website, as well as in the gallery of
images. These photos can give you a better idea of shapes, sizes, and colors of
pottery I am currently making. Choosing to register for items similar to these
will help us both communicate across the miles!
Number of pieces. Sets of bowls, mugs, and plates of varying sizes are often
popular, supplemented with larger serving/presentation pieces. Some couples
prefer to select just a few special items, while others may only be looking for a
couple of mugs to start their mornings. I am happy to design you a registry of
any size.
Costs. You can get the best idea of current pricing of my work from my online
shopping pages. While there is no charge for setting up your registry, there is a
one-time handling fee of $10 for placing an order. This helps me cover the
time that goes into designing your page, processing orders, and delivering the
pottery at wedding time. (On this note, please let me know where your
wedding will be held . . . if I can not personally deliver your new pottery to you,
shipping arrangements will be made and appropriate charges will apply.)
Ordering options for your guests. Most couples set up a wedding website for
their guests, providing links to registries and gift options. My website would be
added as a link to direct guests to your personal page. Once here, all orders for
my pottery are then conducted over the phone or through email. I wish it
could be otherwise . . . unfortunately, I am limited by both time and the
web-design talent that would enable me to set up an online store! It is my
experience that in the case of a wedding (where the purchase of a gift is more
thoughtful than spontaneous), this method of ordering does not provide too
much deterrence to your friends and family . . . after all, it's a pretty special
thing for them to have the option of giving a handmade gift you've already had
your eye on!
Timing/Date of Your Wedding. If you're not familiar with the process of
making ceramics, you may not know that the creation of a set of pieces can take
several months. Dinnerware orders with custom designs will take the longest,
while selecting pieces that are completed and on display in my gallery will be
much quicker. I will always be happy to consider orders with a quick
turn-around; please don't hesitate to make a proposal! We'll do our best to set
you up well. (Please understand that my ability to fill your request has a lot to do
with the time of year . . . I am most busy in the late-spring, summer, and
Christmas time, and most available in the early fall and mid-winter.)
What else am I forgetting? Probably plenty . . . please contact me with
questions and inquiries!
