Arguably the most rewarding part of wedding planning is creating your registry. After chasing down vendors who don’t return calls and fielding endless questions from relatives who somehow missed all the answers on your website, the registry becomes a rare moment of clarity—where you get to tell your guests, plainly and unapologetically, exactly what you want.

Selecting your fine china pattern is not a formality; it's a rite of passage. Finding your pattern should be a deliberate, thoughtful decision. Think of it this way: you're starting the collection of a lifetime. From here on out, this is the pattern that will follow you from home to home and meal to meal over the decades. You'll add to this assortment as your family or dinner party guest list grows in the years to come.

So, allow us to introduce you to Ginori 1735, the luxury Italian label and one of Over The Moon's top registry bestsellers.

About The Brand

Ginori 1735 is the homeware brand that every couple aspiring to curate the life well lived should know. (Have you seen the campaign imagery with brand ambassador Jake Gyllenhaal?) Based just outside Florence, Ginori 1735 is beloved for its rich heritage and beautiful dinnerware. For nearly 300 years, the same centuries-old traditions and techniques have shaped each piece, resulting in handcrafted designs that feel less like table settings and more like heirlooms in the making.

Introducing Florenza

Bring the wildflowers of Florence to your tablescape with the latest pattern from the storied brand. These blooms are untamed, free, and grown without structure or reason. The Florenza design does not merely imitate nature, it artfully captures its essence in pure porcelain. Find fragments of florals across an assortment of plates, trinket boxes, vases, and more.

An Ode to Oriente Italiano

With a kaleidoscopic array of hues, Oriente Italiano has swiftly become a top registry item on Over The Moon. It's at once timeless and of the moment. Milanese designer and architect Gio Ponti created this design, an homage to the popular floral motif in Faenza ceramics. Easily one of the most recognizable patterns, it seamlessly combines traditional Florentine motifs with chinoiserie-inspired details. Upon closer inspection, you'll notice the "garafano," the Italian carnation, interspersed throughout.

Truthfully, one of the most difficult decisions you can make when creating your registry is choosing which Oriente Italiano pattern you'll add. Bachelorette star Hannah Brown loves Bario. OTM Founder Alexandra Macon collects Pervinca. TikTok sensation Becca Bloom wants more Porpora. Everyone has a favorite color way, but we always advocate for mixing and matching. (The author currently types this as she sips from her Oriente Italiano mug in Malachite and looks at her Oriente Oriente Italiano vase in Iris.) There is a color for everyone!
