Wedding: The Registry - Top 10

Finally, it's here! I've been waiting to register for the past two years. I think it was right after Andy and I talked about moving in together that I started dreaming up my ideal home goods collection. Then when we did move in together my dreams came to a crashing halt; realizing that we had a long way to go with all of our miss-matched dinnerware, half broken Ikea kitchen gadgets and a slew of pint glasses (do I really need to drink juice out of the same glass I slurp beer from?).

In preparation for creating my (i mean "our") ideal registry I started out with some research. Lucky for me, Project Wedding had already defined the Top 10 Bridal Registry Items to get me started. Following their list, here's what I have my eye on:

1) Kitchen Appliances
KitchenAid Stand Mixer, although the Cuisinart Food Processor is up there too

2) Gourmet Coffee Maker
Nespresso Citiz & Milk Espresso Machine for at home lattes

3) Designer Luggage
I won't misplace this bright colored luggage by J.Crew

4) Table Setting
I love the earthy look of Heath Ceramics -- these would be great for everyday

OR a patterned set like these from Royal Copenhagen -- it would be fun to mix and match with the white plates I currently have

5) Cookware
A new set of pots and pans like these from Crate and Barrel would be nice

6) His/Hers Gifts

Not really sure what they mean by this one? Monogrammed bath towels? I think these coffee mugs are adorable! Wouldn't they make a sweet Valentine's Day gift?

7) Bedding
I heart this Draper Striped Ash Duvet Set from Dwell Studio

8) Vacuum
Really, a vacuum? What if we buy a house with hardwood floors? Then I will need a Swiffer Sweep Vac

9) Electronics
There is no doubt that some of our wedding money will be going towards electronics, my vote is for a desktop Mac

10) Wine Refrigerator
No complaints about this one -- The Wine Enthusiast 16-bottle Refrigerator via Target

Just some ideas to get me started on my registry. I'm curious, what are you must-have kitchen/home accessories?

  2. Aww, congrats! My husband was more excited than myself when it came to registering, but I know he couldn't live without our KitchenAid mixer, his All-Clad pots and pans, and this super awesome slow cooker from Williams Sonoma - it has a dish inside that you can take out and put on the stove!
