10 Registry Items Past Brides Still Use ALL Of The Time
You've got the ring (and celebrated accordingly!) so now it's time to take the next step in your planning journey — assembling your wedding registry! With brands, products, and styles galore, the process is a fun one, but it can be overwhelming. So to clear the confusion on which items you should be scanning for, we tapped past brides for their best advice. From pots and pans that'll last the years, to linens that are extra luxe, here are 10 items they swear by years after saying "I do".
1. Quality Cookware Set
Your kitchen is the heart of your home. So whether you're whipping up a romantic din for hubby five years from now, or hosting for a crowd tomorrow, you'll be glad to have a set of quality cookware on hand to get the job done. (Oh, and did we mention they make cleanup easier too? Say goodbye to stubborn sticky messes... heck yes!)
2. KitchenAid Stand Mixer
Beyond this being one of the most classic appliances out there (you should see the spectrum of colors they now offer!) this mixer will stay with you through all of your baking projects to come.
3. Distinct Dinner Plates
Brides love having a stunning plate set on hand to pull out for everything from holidays with the in-laws to special occasions with friends. Plus, by investing in a durable, but beautiful set, you'll be all the more tempted to actually use it!
4. Premium Linen Sheet Set
Other than the obvious (like sinking into a bed of ultra-soft threads every night) you'll love the longevity of a premium sheet set. While splurging on luxe linens may normally feel like a burden, brides advise going for them now... when your friends are looking to treat you to something extra special.
5. Glass Food Storage Containers
Sometimes practical registry items are the best registry items. In this case, gals swore by glass Tupperware sets as something they were still reaching for ten years later. Leftovers, anyone?
6. Sturdy Wood Cutting Board
For cheeseboards, meal prep, and, hey, even a makeshift tray, there's nothing quite like having a sturdy wood cutting board in your kitchen. The best part? You won't have to worry about replacing it!
7. Dutch Oven
You'll thank us for this one 50 years from now when you're using it to cook mama's famous soup for your daughter's little crew. For reasons like this, dutch oven, we just cannot get enough of you!
8. Stylish Flatware
Buh-bye, IKEA set. Past brides highly recommend putting sleek flatware sets on your list (with some rave reviews behind 'em to boot) to get you through every dinner in your future.
9. Nice Wine Glasses
We hardly need to explain the reason behind this pick (girl, your wine game is on point!). Nice glasses to sip vino with your friends? Now we're talking.
10. Large Food Processor
Straight from the source, brides love their food processors. Their only regret? Not going for a bigger one. So this 14 cup model is a can't miss on your list.
