About this vendor
Luxury Italian Wedding Registry & Bespoke Honeymoons | Lusso e Gusto
Create your first table together. Then experience Italy together.
A wedding registry is more than a list of gifts. It is an opportunity to choose beautiful, meaningful pieces that become part of your life together—objects you will use when you gather around the table, entertain friends and family, and create traditions of your own.
Based in San Diego, California, Lusso e Gusto brings the beauty and art of Italian living to couples through two highly personal experiences: an artisanal Italian wedding registry and bespoke honeymoon planning throughout Italy.
A Wedding Registry Made in Italy
At the heart of the Lusso e Gusto registry is the extraordinary ceramic dinnerware of internationally renowned Italian artist Rina Menardi.
Handcrafted in Italy, every plate, bowl, platter, and serving piece is individually formed and finished by hand. Subtle variations are part of their beauty—no two pieces are exactly alike.
Minimalist, tactile, and quietly sophisticated, Rina Menardi's collection offers an alternative to traditional department-store wedding china. Couples can select their own combination of forms and colors, creating a table that feels personal and collected rather than prescribed.
Begin with a complete dinnerware collection or choose special serving pieces to build upon over time. Your registry becomes more than something you receive for your wedding—it becomes part of the way you live, entertain, and gather for years to come.
To complete the table, Lusso e Gusto also offers custom handwritten menus and place cards by Bilancia Designs, adding an intimate finishing touch to celebrations and entertaining at home.
Your Honeymoon, Curated in Italy
Italy may also become part of your story in another way.
Lusso e Gusto creates bespoke Italian honeymoons and private journeys, personally designed around each couple rather than assembled from a standard itinerary.
Drawing on founder Marie B. Giordano's background in luxury hospitality in France, Italy, and the United States, each journey brings together thoughtfully selected accommodations, exceptional food and wine, local discoveries, and memorable experiences that reveal a more intimate side of Italy.
Whether you dream of lingering over dinner in a tiny village, discovering a remarkable family-run winery, retreating to a beautiful countryside property, or combining several regions into one unforgettable journey, your honeymoon is created around how you want to experience Italy.
Begin Your Life Together with a Touch of Italy
From the pieces you gather around at home to the places you discover together in Italy, Lusso e Gusto creates experiences intended to remain with you long after the wedding day.
