Written in the Stars
For a love that’s out of this world, the Night Sky personalized star map print is a great gift from Just Artin’ Around. Richmonder Liz Rogala designs the heart-shaped prints, which depict the stars as they appeared at a specific location and date. Don’t want to wait until after the wedding?

Doing the Dishes
Bridget Schindel, manager of She Chester, says white pottery pieces by Nora Fleming are a “go-to” gift during wedding season. The dishware collection also includes attachable “minis,” or ornamental figurines, that can be changed out to match event themes or seasons. The Nora Fleming pieces cost about $25 to $60 each, and the “minis” are $12.95 each. Check out the shop at its new Chester location this summer. facebook.com/shechester
