Ncarly one quarter of ail women get- ting married this year will be over 25. As a result, different faste trends in tabletop merchandise, specifically fine china patterns, are emerging at bridai registries across the country. According to Alice Kolator, Nation- al Tablefop Consultant for Lenox Chi- na and Lenox China Crystal, who conducts bridai events nationwide, -There is ccrtainly a différence, ac- cording f0 the age of the bride, in the types of fine china patterns selected. Very romantic floral patterns appeal fo a younger bride, whereas a bride in her late mwenties or thirties prefers a simpler banded look or sophisticat- cd asymimefric floral designs." A new fine china dinnerware col- lection from Lenox, "The*Mefropoli- tan Collection," was designed for the older bride with ifs very sophisticat- ed and fashion-oriented look that will appeal to an older eouple's fastes and lifestyle. When selecting fine crystal f0 coor- dinate with their fine china patterns, Ms. Kolator observes that older brides prefer a more fraditional look such as heavy cut designs or patterns banded in platinumn or 24-karat gold. Youn- ger brides often favor taller stems with frosted bases or colored bowls. Ms. Kolator also poinfs ouf that older couples usually have more es- tablished social circles and, fherefore, entertain more uffen than their youn- ger counterparts. "I always advise couples who entertain regularly not to be afraid of using their fine china.
