Our ultimate wedding gift guide — just in time for wedding season

Ding dong, ding dong — wedding bells are ringing all over the area. Even though this wedding season may feel much different from years past, these brides and grooms still deserve thoughtful yet practical gifts to start their new lives together. And with many couples spending more time at home than ever before, what better way to shower them with love than items that will make their home feel like a luxurious vacation?

Here are a few of our favorite wedding gift ideas:

Sheets

A soft yet durable set of sheets is the ultimate wedding gift — the bride and groom will use them every single night! And you can never have too many sets of sheets. Pick a set that's woven with long-staple cotton for ultimate softness like Sferra's Finna collection — this crisp, cool percale is perfect for couples sharing a bed. For color, stick to white or neutral colors (unless you know for a fact the couple prefers otherwise); it will match any decor and never go out of style.

Down Comforter

Give the happy couple the gift of a cozy night's sleep with a premium-quality down comforter that will last for years to come. Handmade in the United States, Scandia's Copenhagen comforter is filled with 600-fill power European white down wrapped in soft 100% cotton. Allergy-prone brides will appreciate that it's hypoallergenic, and cold-natured brides will love its 12-inch Baffle Box stitching that eliminates chilly spots and keeps down from shifting.

Pillows

Are the bride and groom still sleeping on the pillows from their college dorm room? What better time for an upgrade than their first home together. Down-filled pillows are the ultimate in luxury and longevity, and Scandia's Lucerne Pillows are filled with 650 fill-power Hungarian white goose down and finished in silky-soft cotton Damask stripe ticking.

Towel sets

Help the couple enhance their post-shower experience with decadent towels like Matouk's Milagro Collection. Made with luxurious Egyptian cotton, these towels are woven from “zero-twist” yarns, resulting in an incredibly lightweight towel that still feels thick and plush.. Add the bride and groom's new monogram for a personal touch.

Table linens

Every couple needs a good set of table linens for entertaining in their first home together. Choose a classic yet elegant set like Matouk's Lucerne collection, which features a playful pleated finish. Whether you choose napkins, placemats or a table cloth, you'll be helping the couple throw their next dinner party in style.

Once you've picked the perfect gift for the bride- and groom-to-be, let us add the finishing touch with complimentary gift wrapping. We also offer free shipping for wedding gifts (great for the bride and groom who are leaving for the honeymoon right away — their gift can be waiting for them at home when they return).

Or if you think you'd rather just let the couple pick something out on their own, give them a Bedside Manor gift card.
