celebrate wedding season with wendell august

I received a Wendell August product for the purpose of this review. This post was made possible by Mom Spark Media. Thoughts are my own.

It’s wedding season! I love wedding season! The dresses. The emotions. The CAKE!

What is it about wedding cake that makes it soooo good? It’s like a magical slice of yummy goodness! Mmmmm!!!

Cake aside, here is a wedding question I’ve debated for years :: Absolutely stick to the wedding registry OR go gift-rogue? 

I’m a rogue-gifter.

There, I said it! I hope that doesn’t affect you inviting me to your wedding because…cake!

I really do appreciate couples taking the time to do store registries and I actually do look at them. They give you a great idea of things  the couple might like or need. But I have some of my favorite gift ideas and places to shop. And one of my new favorites is Wendell August!

Go ahead and book mark WendellAugust.com because you’re going to want to visit there for your gifting needs this year!

Founded in the 1920s, Wendell August is America’s oldest and largest forge {the art of heating and hammering metal}. They specialize in hand-etched and hand-wrought pieces that you just won’t find elsewhere.

I had the opportunity to see their creative works first hand when they sent me their beautiful Waterfall Salad Bowl Set.

A twist on the traditional salad bowl, the Waterfall Salad Bowl has a fresh and sleek design that fits into most decors. Even the most boring salad will standout in this beauty! Or, in our case, strawberries!

The Waterfall Salad Bowl is completed with this stunning, removable aluminum base, a signature of Wendell August. Again, we’re talking hand-crafted and hand-wrought, so each Waterfall Salad Bowl set will be slightly different. Giving you a unique piece in your home!

And the set, of course, includes four matching salad bowls!

We truly use our Waterfall Salad Bowl set almost daily! For those every day fruit-salads with the kids, I’ll usually leave off the aluminum base {sorry kids!} but then, when we’re having guests for dinner or I just want to jazz things up a bit, then I’ll add the aluminum base. It’s amazing how that simple piece can transform the table! I love it!!

Now, while I would dare say every newlywed couple needs this set as a gift, I would be amiss if I didn’t tell you that Wendell August has an amazing variety of other gifts you’ll equally love. Personalized platters. Bowls. Frames. Even Christmas Ornaments!

And you’re not limited to weddings at Wendell August. They have adorable gifts for babies, anniversaries or just every-day gifts for yourself or someone else. I am in absolute love with their Flag Collection! How perfect would this Party Server be for your 4th of July BBQs!

    I really like that Flag Collection Party Server. I never look at registries when giving gifts. I give what I think the person will like.
