So the proposal is over, the date has been set and you’ll soon be (or already are) running around like a headless chicken searching for the perfect outfit. Well, while you’re at it, here are the 4 trousseau essentials I think every new bride should invest in for her new home. 1. 1000 thread count satin bedsheets and duvet covers. The luxurious cotton won’t let you get out of bed (which isn’t necessarily a bad thing!) 😉 2. A glamorous yet practical everyday bedspread option – I mention the word ‘practical’ because everyone is coaxed into buying bulky silk bedspreads which they immediately regret once they actually move in and start using the room. Instead, opting for something equally lux like microfiber will means you can home wash without the dry cleaning hassle every couple of weeks. And I promise you wont be compromising. 3. A full length mirror – sometimes boys think a 10 inch mirror cuts it…so you’ll need to step in! 4. Turkish Towel Bales. Invest in coordinated bath towels, hand towels and face towels. I’m also a sucker for His & Hers towel sets with your new initials embroidered / monogrammed on there! Hope it helps! Happy shopping! The best kind of throwbacks – i.e – wedding photos 🙂 🙂 image 1000 thread count sheets at AA Living Monogrammed Towel bales at AA Living
