A Dream Wedding Registry Guide

At long last, let’s talk wedding registry!

We got engaged last year and I quickly realized that not everyone has a clear plan when registering for items on their wish list—I know we didn’t. Registries are tough… I’ve definitely struggled a bit, it’s hard to decide when it’s on the spot, scrolling through a few select registry sites. Wedding planning, in general, is a lot to take on, so I wanted to share some of my most loved/used items, as well as some of the things I recommend adding to your own registry. I hope you find this a helpful guide to those looking to build their dream list!

I receive so many questions about wedding advice- from dresses to planning, registry and everything in between. Everyone has their own motivations for the items they place on their registry based on the kind of lifestyle they live and what they already have.

Since we have a lot of basics already, I realized that I wanted to upgrade some items and find pieces that I could love and keep forever. Enter: Duralex and Emile Henry. They’re both heritage brands made in France, known for their quality and timelessness. I just knew they would have the perfect pieces to make our house feel more like a home! They have just about everything and anything you could want and need, making them ideal brands to ask for. And they’re stocked at so many major retailers: Amazon, Nordstrom, Williams Sonoma, Sur La Table.

 Being in our late 20s/early 30s we already have a home and have it filled with electronics, bedding, dishes and things we love. Usually these items make great wedding gifts, however since we didn’t need a lot of this stuff we tried getting creative with our wedding registry. Here are a few of the items we would love to receive for our wedding…

Duralex Picardie Glasses and Espresso Cups — We are big coffee drinkers! Even on a busy day, we take time to sit together with a cup of coffee and catch up or just chat. It’s become a daily ritual that I love. We love these classic Picardie glasses from Duralex for enjoying cappuccinos and lattes that feel cafe-worthy—all from the comfort of our own home. The other sizes are absolutely perfect for everyday use and they go with every decor style. Truly a classic!

Emile Henry Tangine — We both love to cook but sometimes there are nights where neither one of us want to. On these nights our go-to dinner is to throw our favorite ingredients in our Emile Henry Tagine and let it bubble away. I love the idea that you can create restaurant-worthy dishes at home with little prep-work. Plus, it looks absolutely stunning! They come in an array of gorgeous colors. Love!

J.K. Adams Wood Cutting/Serving Board — I’m so lucky to be marrying a man who not only enjoys cooking but is great at it! He makes wonderful pastas, steak, and even beautiful cheese plates. This gorgeous wood serving piece is beautiful and functional. We use one side for cutting smaller items and the other for displaying beautiful boards for guests. The quality of these boards is top-notch. I’ve been eye-ing some of the larger styles to keep on hand, as well.

 
Duralex Lys Mixing Bowl Set — There’s nothing better than homemade desserts! I love this Duralex mixing bowl set because it has every size I need to create delicious desserts at home without the mess. They’re sturdy and the minimal design is perfect for every kitchen. I love that cleanup is a breeze—I can pop them in the dishwasher without worrying about them breaking or cracking. They are that durable! Because of their simplistic design, they are also the perfect vessel for serving salads and sides at dinner. A must-have!

So, because I have more ideas that I think you’ll love… I’ve spent a lot of time creating this Registry Pinterest Board, where you can find all of these items and more. I’ve also added lots of pretty things we have and love to “My Apartment” board, as well.

I hope this is all helpful! x
