Where do upper-middle-class people buy wedding stuff?

Question

where do upper-middle-class people buy wedding stuff? where do they buy guestbooks and stuff llike that? is there a like a macy's of wedding essentials?

Answer 1

Most everyone I know is getting a lot of wedding stuff off of www.theknot.com.  I know a lot of upper-middle-class yuppie types who are getting married this year, and The Knot seems to be where most of them are getting their wedding favors, bridesmaid gifts, etc.  Also, Things Remembered seems to be a popular choice for things like engraved guestbooks, etc.

Personally I think it's silly- after all, you can find really nice guestbooks at Wal-Mart or Target, but some people are sort of snobbish about those stores.

Answer 6

Answer 7

Bahahaha please tell me this is a real question?

There's no Middle Class Wedding Store.  

Answer 8

Anywhere and everywhere. It's not like someone can look at a guestbook or decorations and be like, oh, those are some great upper middle class decorations. Look for quality, not the store they're at or price. Martha Stewart, who is about as upper middle class as a BMW Sedan just started a wedding line for WalMart. Happy shopping.  

Answer 9

yes, macys and dillards have wedding registries

Answer 10

Really, you can buy it from anywhere.  It's not so much the name, as it is the look.  I agree that a lot of people say "The Knot"   But, there are tons of websites that offer all kinds of wedding stuff.   If you are upper middle class, you know what's good quality vs. what's cheap.  So, you should be looking at how things are made, the materials, the colors, the designs; rather than the prices.  

Go to theknot.com and start there for ideas.    

Answer 11

what exactly are you trying to find? gifts for the bride and groom? or decorations for the wedding.

I consider my fiance and I upper middle class, and we shopped everywhere. we both were on the hunt for things that we wanted and liked, then came together to show what we found. I shopped at places such as The Williamsburg Pottery Factory (a huge warehouse of pottery items) and David's Bridal. I didn't buy items that were too expensive nor looked cheap.

So, you can shop anywhere.

Answer 12

As long as you love it I don't think it really matters...you could find wine glasses at the dollar store and a silk covered guest book on a trip to Europe...unless you are going to sit and chit chat about the price it's not going to really matter.  But if you need to just run out and get it done Hallmark might be a good place to start.

Answer 13

Well, socio-economics isn't the issue.  Some people splurge and some don't and it doesn't matter how much money they have.  It sounds like you're looking for quality and a more high-end look to your wedding.

The difference between those splurging on a wedding and those trying to save for a wedding is the amount of DIY that goes into it.  No matter what you spend, most items for a wedding are pretty but they are not made to last.  

If you find a good wedding planner with an eye for color and design, you can achieve a high-end look with inexpensive items. So, start with a planner and see examples of their work.

The Knot does have nice items.  For favors, Kate Aspen has very high-end-looking ones.  Below are links to The Knot and Wedding Favors Store Online (a Kate Aspen retailer).

Good Luck!
