What to put in a wedding trousseau?
The history of Alexandre Turpault is closely linked to that of the wedding trousseau, so much so that we work to create top-of-the-range linens that are as durable as they are pleasant.
While many couples today opt for the wedding list, remains this tradition still well anchored in the lovers of beautiful linen. Originally prepared from the birth of the girl, it is now composed shortly before the official union. Bed linen, embroidered robes, bath linen: here are our tips for making a complete trousseau.
A MATTER OF TRADITION
Originating from a 14th century tradition, the wedding trousseau constitutes the essential of what a young girl must have before getting married and starting a family. Dishes, cosmetics, lingerie, modern wedding trousseaux offer many gift ideas.
Nevertheless, if we go back to the original custom, the wedding trousseau is above all the assembly of textile pieces necessary for the future of the bride. Bed linen, household linen or bedding, these items were traditionally embroidered with the bride's initials.
This gift is a testimony of craftsmanship and is an opportunity for the family to pass on a quality linen, which the couple will be able to use for years before giving it to their children. A gift of great symbolic value that creates real family ties, generation after generation.
THE BRIDE'S TROUSSEAU, WHAT TO CHOOSE ?
Ode to the intimacy of the couple, to the comfort and traditions of yesteryear, the wedding trousseau is no longer, as in its early days, an indispensable household item. Most of the time, couples are already initiated to life together and have their own linen. However, offering a beautiful quality linen remains the best way to communicate your affection and best wishes to the newlyweds.
BED LINEN
When it comes to bedding, the key is to find the perfect match for the bedroom decor. If you don't know the couple's decorations or their taste in bedding, keep it simple. A chic and durable bedding set is self-sufficient. So opt for neutral colors or patterns that will always be very easy to integrate into an interior, regardless of its style.
Our recommendation? An elegant linen bedding set. Linen is a natural and authentic material that is also very durable. So you're not only giving the newlyweds comfortable linens that will make them feel good, but you're promising them happy nights, year after year.
BATH LINENS
Because choosing a bedding set can sometimes be tricky, opt for beautiful bath linens instead. Choice towels, absorbent, soft and cozy are the promise of delicious moments of relaxation for the couple.
Put together your own set of bathroom wellness items. Whether it's a wrap-around bath towel, a practical shower towel or a soft bath mat, choose products from the same color palette for greater harmony. Once again, choose neutral colors, which are easy to integrate into both contemporary and classic decors.
And why not add to that elegant bathrobes? The ultimate in relaxation, this accessory has nothing but advantages and allows lovers to be matched, right out of the shower!
