Bridal Registry

In North Carolina we enjoyed a very active wedding registry service for porcelain hand made dinnerware. Here in Costa Rica, it is not typically the custom to register, but a very popular wedding & honeymoon location. I can't find an appropriate arena to promote my dinnerware for wedding registry. Is this handled by planners at all?

Registries make sense and offer a great opportunity to have what you really want in this economy. Friends and relatives have perfect avenue to assure their offerings are actually used and appreciated.

What beautiful work! Do you have an online catalog? I'm still trying to find my way around this site, and have not been able to find a link to your homepage. I'm making an assumption you are willing to ship internationally?

I'd love to share your work with others in my circle here in Toronto...My best advice to you is to take it online (which I'm sure you're probably already doing, and therefore this won't necessarily answer your first question, but - if you're willing to sell them via the internet, and ship internationally, you might find a huge market that's more than just bridal registry. Also, have you considered approaching some of the specialty shops in the US to see if they do consignment, or are will to take you on as an exclusive brand?

Honestly (I love dishes and pottery), and if the photos you shared are indeed your own work, I haven't seen anything quite so nice in a very, very, very long time.

Extremely honored by your comments. Would love to work with you, just give directions. New to the internet, realized after moving to Costa Rica, the day has arrived to get on line. I worked with galleries for many years in the US both as artist and with wedding registry, but they are limiting their representation to US artists. I no longer qualify in that regard. Finding that here in Costa Rica, there is little or no association between tableware and weddings, and porcelain is not expected. I have found no sign of registry for tableware, and I have to explain it in detail when offering it in my gallery.
Hence, the reality of internet marketing has hit me. Any advise would be appreciated.
