Registry

Wedding registry

Registering for gifts is often the most fun part of wedding planning for couples. Tastes may change, but registry items remain timeless.

Shop local

Opt for classic pieces rather than trends, and shop local boutiques like Julep Home and Gift and Willow & Pine Market for quality items that will last a lifetime.

Practicality

Dinnerware, cookware and monogrammed towels will be used often in your new household. Be thoughtful when choosing what kinds of items to put on your registry to ensure that your gifts become a true part of your life.

For entertaining

Charcuterie boards have exploded in popularity in the last few years, as has at-home cocktail creation. Trays, boards, barware and accessories will bring you fond memories and joy when brought out for entertaining.

For the home

A fresh marriage means a fresh start, so consider adding some cleaning or organization products to your registry. Beautiful bins or clear containers help you organize your home in a way that makes you happy to look around.

Nontraditional

Many couples who are planning to get married have lived together during the engagement period or even longer. That means that couples may already own traditional wedding registry gifts like kitchen and bath items and accessories. Several honeymoon registries offer couples the chance to register for travel expenses. Honeyfund, Zola and Blueprint are a few well-reviewed options. Another option to consider is a charity registry, which has seen increasing popularity in recent years.
