Parke Creative Director & Founder Chelsea Parke recently tied the knot with Nicholas Goles at her childhood home. The newlyweds first met at Dickinson College in Pennsylvania. “We were both college athletes—field hockey for me and lacrosse for Nick—and met in international dance class,” Chelsea smiles. After five years together, he got down on one knee by her parents’ home.
“I knew I wanted something different and unique that hasn’t been done before,” Chelsea says of her wedding wardrobe. Of course, she had to incorporate her own brand into her trousseau. On Friday, she wore a custom creation using Parke’s denim fabric. The next day, she exchanged vows in Danielle Frankel and celebrated in vintage Miu Miu.
Ahead of becoming a bride, Chelsea shared what she added to her Dream Registry—from kitchen essentials to fun decor. Aesthetically, the Miami–based founder describes her own style as “casual but elevated,” which is reflected in her curation.
Kitchen
Elevate yours with Zwilling essentials and Le Creuset cookware, trusted by chefs everywhere.
For my Dream Registry, I chose items that feel both practical for everyday life and special enough to mark such a meaningful season in our lives. The Dakota Collection feels like an important investment. Since rest and recharging is such a big part of our lives, I loved the idea of having something that makes our bedroom feel cozy yet elevated. Additionally, I chose the Dutch Oven because Nick and I love cooking so much. It is the center of our home and days! This is such a classic piece that will last a lifetime. It feels like something we’ll use often and treasure as a family heirloom.
Tabletop
Understated accents, whimsical plates, and artisan glassware effortlessly transform each place setting.
I think starting with items you’ll actually use and love, not just what looks nice or is the most expensive, is really important. I try to think about our daily life together, what kitchen tools and home essentials we use the most, and then add in some fun splurges that will make our life easier or more joyful. I think including a mix of price points so friends and family can contribute in a way that works for them is important, too.
