Did you ever hear the saying “You don’t know what you don’t know”? Well, I can assure you
this holds true for brides to be and mother of the brides who have never thrown a wedding.
Fortunately, fête has got all the answers when it comes to china, glassware, bridal registry, gift giving, and curating a beautiful home!
When the iconic Charles Willis Boutique closed its doors in 2020, Angie Evert and daughter
Maggie Jones decided to combine their style, passion for service, attention to detail and deliver
Atlanta an experience that would set any new bride on the right trajectory.
With conversations around lifestyle, taste, and budget we began the process of choosing what
might be considered items I would have for the “rest of my life”. Now those words might scare
some, but the way Angie and Maggie masterfully crafted china options, I was able to see that in
today’s world, china becomes an evolution of your life. By adding a piece of Ginori to a
“traditional” set of china or choosing a Hermes charger can transform your esthetic. I didn’t
even know I had an esthetic!
Once we had the “big” stuff accounted for we continued to review what I might need as a new
bride and how to create a beautiful home. Keep in mind we did take into consideration my
better half by including a few Baccarat tumblers for our bourbon drinking guests! Step by step
the fête team walked me through everything I might need or want as a newly married woman
and as a future seasoned host. Just amazing.
When it comes to gift giving the fête team is bar none. Challenged with giving to someone who
has “everything” was easy as Angie & Maggie knew the exact item that would deliver the WOW
factor. Imagine the phone call I got when my Aunt received a beautiful monogramed
champagne bucket with a handwritten thank you note etched on the bottom. Perfection!
Days have passed since my wedding yet I forsee a very long and inspired marriage with fête as
this will be my forever store.
