Recently hitched? Congratulations on your newly married status!

As you embark upon this happy journey together, there are a few things you’ll likely want to do as a newlywed couple. Outfitting your home with a selection of special decor pieces is a great start! After all, your home should be a reflection of your love and shared taste, so now is the perfect time to turn it into a cozy haven that suits both of your styles.

When you marry, you are embarking upon a journey of building a life together, through all of life’s big and small moments. Shopping for the home essentials you’ll see daily for the next several decades can be a wonderful bonding experience for a new couple. This task not only symbolizes the beginning of the next chapter in your lives, it also creates a sense of anticipation and excitement for what lies ahead in your relationship. Another great bonus to designing a home to live and love in together? It requires communication, compromise, and swift decision-making as you navigate through various style and decor options. Working together as a team to create a home gives you a preview of what it will be like to face all of the things that will come your way over the course of your marriage.

Whether you’ve waited until you’ve wed to move in together, or you’ve been living together for several years, shopping for newlywed home decor pieces is a great way to commemorate this magical period of your lives. My partner company, Weddingstar Inc., has everything you’ll need for this undertaking! Think, ‘Mr. and Mrs.’ mugs to sip your morning coffee together, monogrammed throw pillows for your bed, heirloom quality serve-ware for your first married holidays, and more. Better still? You can shop together right from the comfort of your laptop, as Weddingstar is an online shop with free delivery over $99 in the USA, or $125 in Canada!

Imagine all the memories you’ll create in your new space, and how each item will contribute to those experiences. It’s time to build your newlywed nest!

For the bedroom…

Personalised 18” x 18” Square Throw Pillow Cover and Insert Set – Monogram Simplicity

Most newlywed couples spend a lot of time in the bedroom (yes, we said it!) – creating a peaceful and relaxing oasis in your bedroom allows you to leave the stressors of the day at the door, and unwind together in your own safe haven. Outfit this room with soft, luxurious bedding and linens. Treat yourselves to high-quality satin sheets, a plush duvet or comforter, and a few select decorative pillows in romantic prints (like the monogrammed varieties from Weddingstar pictured above and below). Choosing textiles in serene colours, as well as delicate patterns that evoke a sense of tranquility, will promote restful sleep for both of you.

They look just as good on your living room sofa or armchair!

The best part about Weddingstar’s line of ceramic and metal mugs is that they are sold separately, so you can each choose your favourite with the pronoun you best identify with. You can also choose initial or name mugs that will evoke the same sense of togetherness each time you use them.
