With wedding season well underway, here is a bride-to-be's own take on where to find the perfect bridal shower gifts in Toronto...

Pottery Barn

100 Bloor Street West, Toronto, ON, M5S 3L3

Picture frame: They have the nicest picture frames, and while it is 'Pottery Barn' and it seems so 'mass produced' I really can't find a better store that can deliver on my picture frame criteria than the 'barn

William Ashley China

55 Bloor St W (Manulife Centre), Toronto, ON, M4W1A5

What a girl (and guy?) wants!: Registering at Ashley's felt like a true a rite of passage. I went in a girl with mismatched glassware and came out a woman destined to have pinstripe crystal pitchers and elaborate pie servers. My bridal registry experience at Ashley's has been wonderful from the start - aside from having the best selection of formal china, kitchenware, and everything you can image in the world of home-decorating, the staff are friendly and knowledgeable. They want the process to be as smooth as possible for you (and them), and so far I have no complaints. I can easily track my registry online and can add any items I want to the list either online or at one of their stores. Top 3 bonus features: The truffles they feed you after you've registered, the little customized cards you get in the mail every time someone buys you a gift, and the free year-long parking at Manulife Centre for the bride and groom.

Liv by Au Lit

418 Eglinton W, Toronto, ON, M5N 1A2

A shopper's dream: Au Lit, the charming Toronto fine linen shop has taken a step out of the bedroom and created Liv, a beautiful midtown space devoted to trendy clothing, jewellery, unique gifts, furniture, and, of course, linens. Liv carries unique and affordable brands carefully selected from across North America and Europe - like my recently purchased Blank skinny jeans for less than $100! You can find Dogeared jewels and pricier bangles and necklaces in their jewellery display, and some dreamy framed art on the walls.

Chatelet

717 Queen Street West, Toronto, Ontario, M6J1E6

Rated this place:

Feminine Furnishings: If you're like me and have a penchant for feminine French decor then you're going to have a field day at Chatelet. I'm always sucked in by their endless selection of shabby chic and antique treasures, usually to surface with a new picture frame or a $2 fridge magnet that I just couldn't live without. Chatelet is home to mirrored accessories galore - you'll see your reflection in most furntiture pieces (dressers, night tables, vanities) and in the frames of their signature bird paintings. With such a wide range of pieces that can fit any home and taste, Chatelet is a great place to find gifts for bridal showers, birthdays, your mom, your grandmother, your children, and yourself.
