Oh I was going to say corelle, sorry :-( Have you looked at all designs of corelle, they have some really pretty options and they are so lightweight and durable. Mine have held up so well, and I have to say I abuse them slightly.
Where are you registering, or will your dishes choice influence that? I got everday plates from Crate & Barrel and have been loving them. Another personal favorite is Pfaltzgraff. I'm sure you can find something you like if you take a look.
Unrelated, I saw them do Corelle on "How It's Made" and it was really cool to see the dishes being produced!
I was going to say Corelle too! This is the set we registered for http://media.photobucket.com/image/corelle%20enhancements/bargainsdelivered/Dinner%20Sets/1057421.jpg
It's called "Enhancements". It goes with EVERYTHING, holds up amazingly, is lightweight and we actually get a lot of compliments on them. I wouldn't rule out all Corelle - they have some really nice stuff and it's super durable.
Man...I thought corelle had some really cool new patterns. Have you seen the square dish sets?
The other options I liked at bed bath & beyond...
Love the Nautica line
I'm really glad we already have a ton of Corelle, so I don't have to choose, but I really like what BB&B has to offer, and personally, I haven't found anything as durable as Corelle but I like Mikasa.
Thanks guys! I'll take another look at Corelle. Yes, we'll register at a couple places, but I wanted to wait and see if I fell in love with dishes anywhere in particular first, so we can register there. There was a set at Crate and Barrel that I LOVED online, but when I went to see them in person I wasn't as impressed. Which is why I thought I'd check here for suggestions before getting too excited about another set. :)
My fiance and I bought ourselves Noritake Colorwave dishes and really like them. I wanted a set of everyday dishes that had coordinating pieces like sugar, creamer, platters, and vegetable bowls so this was perfect. That way we can use them for slightly more formal get-togethers too. I know they sell them at Macy's and Bed Bath & Beyond.
And I know you said you wanted white---most of these just have a colored rim (and the backs are that color too)
Me and my FH bought some corelle dishes for the new place. They are the square "simple lines" pattern and they are bulletproof and lightweight!
http://www.amazon.com/Corelle-Simple-Lines-Collection/dp/B001HOK9CW
They have been put in the dishwasher, in the oven to keep food warm, frozen, and dropped onto the granite without any ill effects.
We get a lot of compliments on the pattern and we will definitely be registering for more corelle pieces.
We registered for the Essential Dinnerware from Crate & Barrel. I really like the simple white sets.
I picked Nevaeh @ Bed Bath & Beyond because I wanted simple bone china (more durable). But there was a similar pattern at Macy's that was plain bone china. The ones @ Crate & Barrel had too big of a rim for my taste. What I dislike about Corelle is the lack of any rim and a base.
I'm not registering for everyday dishes just because I'm obsessed with my plain white Williams Sonoma dishes that I've had for years. They are pretty much indestructible and I'm just a big fan of classic white for every day.
I have the same square corelle set as Ms Mini...and I love them as well! So modern and virtually indestructable.
We have the square ones from Crate and Barrel ... forget what they're called and I got the bamboo silverware to match ...
I'd second the William's Sonoma dishes. We regigstered for ones that are a bit more of a cream-y white with a raised pattern to them. They're kind of in-between formal china and everyday china, but super classic, and nice and solid.
We bought the Fiesta ware from Macy's. We bought all of the dishes in white and then got the accents pieces and baking items in shamrock. They are simply beautiful and almost always on sale at Macy's. They are very durable and stay in great shape.
I'm obsessed with mine. They are Crate & Barrel's White Pearl collection. They are apparently not as likely to chip as the stoneware you find most places. They're really sleek and lightweight. They were pricier than your average casual dinnerware, and I felt guilty about it plus I didn't think we'd get it all, but I got some good advice from the ladies on here to register for it anyway and we got almost all of it!
We've got Vietri and they have some gorgeous white dishes that could also pass for formal china. Very flexible. Love them!
We registered for the Staccato dinnerware at Crate & Barrel. C & B has so many cute everyday sets!
We got Aspen by Crate & Barrel (link) and we love it! It's affordable and extremely durable (we've had a few pieces of it for years but just completed our set with the wedding registry) and I think it's beautiful. Very simple, but will go with everything. It's not as thin as Corelle (which my parents also have) and not as bulky as a lot of the other dishes you find at big-box stores -- just a happy medium. I also love that it's warm-oven safe, so you can keep pancakes or whatever warm until you finish cooking without worrying about busting the plate.
I purchased 2 sets of four dishes from West Elm - one set of round and one set of square. They are just simple and white, but are very well styled and weighted. Have held up very well so far, and are only $7-8 per dinner plate.

I worked at Williams-Sonoma for a long time for extra money... and I have to say that I absolutely LOVE my white Apilco dinnerware. It is pricey (luckily I got mine with my discount) but totally durable and dishwasher/oven safe. I have dropped some of mine over the years, and they survived! I even got my mother to switch out her Mikasa dishes for the Apilco Everyday Dinnerware... It IS heavy though... French Porceline, which is much stronger than earthenware which ends up crazing over time...
Just a suggestion :)
We registered for (and now have) Maison from Crate and Barrel. We love, love, love it and couldn't be happier with our decision. The reviews on C&B say that some people have had it for more than 10 years, and they love how durable and timeless it is. It's the perfect mix of modern and traditiona. I cannot recommend it enough!

Just wanted to follow up... we ended up registering for the Aspen dishes from Crate and Barrel, since they received good reviews, were really affordable (maybe that will make up for the $200 pillow I registered for?? yikes!! It is sooo comfy though...) and when I compared the Aspen and Maison sets in store, which are very very similar, the Aspen seemed to be a brighter white than the Maison. The Maison seemed slightly grey next to the Aspen. Crate and Barrel also has a lot of plain white separate dishes, so my gravy boat, cream and sugar bowls, and some other small bowls are also from there but not from the Aspen line.
We're going to use these plates as both our everyday dishes but also for entertaining and special occasions. (This will be our only set).
We have the "Wicker" pattern from Oneida. It's white with a basketweave rim. Koh;'s had it it but was discontining it so my MIL ordered ours online I think from Amazon.
We got the Madison set from Crate & Barrel. I've had on my favorites list for a couple of years now, and I was so excited when I got to add it to my registry!

For everyday, I actually like the white square dishes in the Food Network line at Kohl's.

Sorry, there are no users yet.
Does anyone have any recommendations for a lightweight yet durable set of everyday dishes to register for for our wedding? I'd like white, and not Corelle (my Mom has Corelle and I want something a little prettier).
