Judie Koploy, of Slades, shows Cherie Morgan-
roth stemware.
enables her to get anything a customer wants
even if it is not stocked at the store.
Randy Forester, owner of Studio 330 in
Bloomfield Hills, mentions that his store co-
ordinates the sterling, china, stemware and
linens. "We do the whole thing. The basics
are here, and we have a large variety," he says.
He adds that the gifts are specially wrapped,
all part of the personalized service.
Stacy Gold, manager of the five Drapery
Boutique stores, says that her company is
meeting the needs of the couples who are set-
ting up their first home by providing a bridal
registry. "We help them set up a home and
with the final touches," she says. Drapery Bou-
tique provides an interior decorating service
and helps the newlyweds with the windows,
wallpaper, linens, bath, kitchen items, bed-
ding and decorative pillows.
Ms. Gold notes that her West Bloomfield
customers usually choose a contemporary
theme, while the Troy store is more conser-
vative.
Even some gift stores that do not sell chi-
na, like Artloft in Birmingham, are beginning
to include a bridal registry. Owner Catherine
Glazer says she started a bridal registry be-
cause the customers requested it. She sells
unique and unusual items, including furniture,
lamps and picture frames rang-ing in price from
$25-$600. "It's not the usual china or flatware,
we sell art objects for the home."
