Armstrong Ward: Wedding List Service
Jackie and Andrew Ward opened Armstrong Ward in Kendal’s Wainwrights Yard eight years ago, with a vision to sell goods and British brands that were under represented locally. They stock a mixture of design led gifts, homeware and furniture, displayed in an imaginative way with good customer service.
Their brands; Wesley Barrel, Emma Bridgewater, John Sankey Furniture, Moulin Roty, Maileg, Garden Trading have been popular since day one. Either Andrew or Jackie Ward has carefully selected every item in Armstrong Ward.
Following Armstrong Ward’s re-brand and new retail website, they are delighted to launch a personal wedding list service. This concierge style service allows couples and their guests to choose items from exclusive ranges from either their independent Lake District store or online at armstrongward.co.uk


Using Armstrong Ward’s gift list service couples can choose from its wide selection of carefully considered and well chosen ranges or pick one large item like a lovely new Wesley Barrel sofa that their guests contribute to. The service is ideal for couples looking to kit out their homes and new lives together with something extra special.
Owner Jacqueline Ward explains, "We are an independent store with some lovely and unique products, our service will be different to other department stores with personal advisors on hand to help with inspiration and give the attention to detail that other places lack. We are not run of the mill and don’t stock the same things as everyone else making our wedding lists unique."
Jacqueline explains how the service came about, "It has been due to popular demand. Brides-to-be actually started asking me for this service and we created our new website with the technology to turn the idea into a reality."
Armstrong Ward’s personal gift list service is not just for couples getting married, it can also be for celebrating a new arrival, a big birthday or any important occasion. Armstrong Ward can create a list for any kind of celebration.
