Inside a Couple's Wedding Registry for Their Neutral Home

With this in mind, the affianced pair developed a simple strategy: to use their wish list to upgrade their most utilized pieces, from small appliances to dinnerware and glassware. “The main goal was for everything to have a cohesive look that we could use every day, now and in the future when we have a larger home,” details the bride.

The couple started with their favorite store to peruse: Crate and Barrel. “This was a great opportunity to add pieces that we had been eyeing over the years!” confides Kelcy. “We love how their neutral, modern style extends from kitchen items to home-décor accents and entertaining pieces.”

Williams Sonoma was their go-to for incorporating baking sets and kitchen tools. “The store just feels so homey,” Kelcy expresses. “Finally, we chose Zola because it was great for adding items that we wanted, yet weren’t available at Crate and Barrel or Williams Sonoma, such as a cooler by YETI.” The couple appreciated that Zola alerted them when guests purchased gifts, providing the option to ship when they were ready and avoid being surprised with a delivery while on their honeymoon, for example.

Heed pro advice. 

“Consider registry suggestions from esteemed wedding sources, as well as favorite food bloggers. You don’t have to add every single item on their lists, but it will give you a great base.”

Visualize your dream home. 

“Compile a list of the pieces that will help create your vision. Even if you don’t get the items you add, it shows what components are important to you.”
