What to Put On Your Wedding Registry
Aspen Tabletop Collection

I highly recommend setting up a wedding registry at Crate & Barrel for their Aspen collection, if nothing else. A durable, timeless collection of bowls, plates, mugs, glasses, and tabletop accouterment, this collection is reasonably priced and easy to customize to your own needs.
5-Piece Flatware Place Setting

Wedding registries are a great way to refresh your flatware collection. If you’re anything like me, you may have a mismatch of sets that have seen better days. This classic set is available in five finishes from Crate & Barrel.
Le Creuset Bakeware Essentials

Whether you’re super into home cooking or not, this 4-piece bakeware set from Le Creuset is super handy. As far as wedding registry ideas go, this is a must for any household and will cover pretty much anything you want to bake, from sweet to savory.
Breville Barista Touch Espresso Machine

While this espresso maker is definitely a bigger ticket item, it is a fantastic option for coffee lovers. This espresso maker is easy to use and care for, featuring pre-programmed drinks and space for your own recipes. I’ve had mine for a few years now and love it (more on that here!).
All-Clad Simply Strain Multipot

Whether you’re making family dinner or just a couple boxes of mac n cheese for a quiet night in, this pot and straining lid are super handy. It heats up rapidly and has a locking strainer lid that feels secure and is easy to maneuver. All around a great, multifunctional pasta pot.
KitchenAid Stand Mixer

No kitchen is complete without a good stand mixer. The KitchenAid Stand Mixer is a fan favorite for a reason. Hard working and durable, these mixers serve a multitude of uses, from the casual baker to the large-batch chef. This particular model features 10 speeds and can accommodate enough dough for 9 dozen cookies!
Thermo-Clad 3-Piece Fry Set

This 3-piece pan set has the perfect range of sizes for any kitchen. Durable and dishwasher safe, this set features a thoughtful design that both heats up and cools down fast. All three are designed so their handles stay cool to the touch, so they’re easy to maneuver on the stove, and all are oven safe.
KitchenAid Food Processor

A simple-yet-useful find for this wedding registry ideas guide, this 7-cup food processor is great for making salad dressings, pesto, and oil mixes for roasted vegetables. The ergonomic handle and feed tube make it easy to add ingredients of various shapes and sizes. It has three speeds (high, low, and pulse) and the removable parts are dishwasher safe.
Wustohf Gourmet 10-Piece Acacia Knife Block Set

Last but not least, this Wustohf knife block set is the perfect addition to any kitchen. We had this on our wedding registry at Crate & Barrel and were so excited to receive it. It’s a gorgeous color wood block and the knives have great weights to them. With the 10-piece set, there are extra spaces to add individual knives as you acquire them, as well.

Completion Discounts for Your Wedding Registry
It is worth noting that, when you start registries at the stores featured here (Crate & Barrel, Williams Sonoma, Pottery Barn, and Amazon specifically), they offer “completion discounts” following your wedding. This means that the stores offer savings for six months to a year after your wedding date to help you buy any items that aren’t purchased off your registry. For more information about these programs, check out the individual stores’ registry pages or stop by a store for more details!
