There comes a time in a young couple’s life when the knick-knacks, milk crates used as end tables, and plastic dinner ware that served its purpose well back in the dorm room days have to go. It’s part of growing up, and the process of acquiring finer items starts with wedding gifts. After all, no one (to our knowledge) lists Tupperware on their bridal registry.

            For a room-by-room selection of items – both functional and fancy – Trisons Gifts in Owensboro offers the happy couple plenty to choose from, along with the expertise, customer service and personal touch so many new couples seek out when looking for the perfect items for their new household. And that personal touch is provided thanks to the dedication of owner, Jennie Clemens.

            Quality home décor is an expression of a couple’s collective personality. Whether formal, rustic, traditional or modern, the items that make up the ambiance in a home create what filmmakers call “Mise en scène,” French for “putting into the scene” or “setting in scene.” Just as in a movie, where items in the background of the actors elevate themes and moods, the items throughout your home help to set the theme, tell the story of your lives and, maybe most importantly, simply make the home more beautiful.

            Trisons deals directly with higher-end suppliers of home décor, such as the famous Irish company known around the world for their finer crystal items, Waterford. Pieces from Waterford available at Trisons include vases, pitchers, glasses, serving bowls and more.

            China is frequently included on the bride’s registry, and Clemens can easily guide soon-to-be wed couples in the right direction as to styles, durability and quality – whether it’s a set meant to be used regularly or for special occasions and as heirloom pieces. Lenox is one such producer of heirloom quality China offered at Trisons.

            Essentially everything you need to create a finer living space is available at Trisons, including frames and mirrors, flatware, furniture, art and metalwork.

            Trisons makes it easy to accommodate gift giving for out-of-town guests as well. They can contact Clemens, inquire about particular items and their price, and Trisons can beautifully swathe the gift and even deliver it to the happy couple.

            Gift certificates are a good idea as well, particularly for those who may not have made up their mind about a certain lamp or serving dish or linen. Keep that in mind, whether shopping from a registry or on your own.

            For finer items to replace those old, juvenile home furnishings, think of Jennie Clemens and Trisons Gifts. They’re located at 507 Frederica Street in Owensboro. Ring them at 270-683-2309 or toll free at 800-468-2305.
