A truth about Irish people and weddings I've noted over the past few years is how allergic people are to the idea of a wedding gift list. I think it's the idea of asking for things that goes against the grain, but the truth is some of your guests are definitely going to give you gifts (no matter how much you protest there's nothing you need). And not having one comes with its own issues - think how you're going to deal with 32 candlesticks and 3 toasters, 4 hoovers and 12 ironing boards? So in my experience, (and I say this one as who has learned the hard way), this is precisely why any couple getting married should organise a wedding gift list. If you're going to get wedding presents, you might as well receive things you actually want and need.

Home Decor to Brighten Up Married Life
So when Prezola got in touch with us we were impressed - finally a wedding gift service that provides cool homeware you would be delighted to have in your house: on-trend accessories and tableware, luxurious linen and beautifully designed furniture. Prezola works hard to curate a great selection of items from across a range of well-known and cult brands, including many brands that are hard to find in Ireland - Graham & Green, Bombay Duck and Tom Dixon for example. So rather than being faced with a collection of 11 photo frames, a random assortment of clocks, 62 wine glasses of varying sizes and a very expensive tealight holder (all true stories of One Fab Day team weddings) I'd suggest checking Prezola out and setting yourself up a list for those guests who genuinely just want to get you something you will treasure. It will make you both happy...
