I'm not a bride, but I come here often to shop for EVERYTHING for the home.
Their prices are by far, the most reasonable and lowest for high-end culinary stuff, from any place I've found.
Other stores like Nella Cucina may sell more chef-y type industrial things, and Williams-Sonoma may have cuter things and more decoration, but even though this place is for brides, it rivals them in price.
Case in point: Pan set for $1500 at W-Sonoma, only cost $1050 at W-Ashley.. PLUS a 10% off!
This goes for almost everything -- wine glasses (Riedel), plates, picture frames, if you can find it in other cooking stores (higher-end stuff), you can probably find it here for cheaper.
It's a bit of a mess to look around, but it really has a good range of nice things for a decent price.
