Wedding Registry Tips from Chicago Couple, Jenna and Jeremy

They decided to register together in-store at their chosen retailers: Bloomingdale’s and Crate and Barrel. At Bloomingdale’s, Jenna and Jeremy searched for a variety of items – from cool kitchen tools to home-accent components. “Our recently married friends recommended we register there because they have a wonderful range to choose from,” explains the bride. They selected a gorgeous torched serving set by Michael Aram, an elegant glass pitcher by Nambé, and handy cooking equipment. 

Crate and Barrel was the perfect place to decide on products like tongs, spatulas, storage sets, and measuring cups. It was also where Jeremy was most excited because he planned to add bar items. He elected for a handsome decanter, sleek stainless-steel barware, and cocktail glassware. Meanwhile, Jenna settled on entertaining pieces, cookware and bakeware, as well as a stunning “Tate” centerpiece bowl. 

Jenna and Jeremy confirm they couldn’t be happier with all that they received from their registries. “The entire process was fun!” reminisces the groom. “It was so nice to help shape our new home with gifts from our favorite people.” Jenna encourages others to select pieces that work well for their own unique preferences. “Some of my favorite gifts are quirky ones from our list! Add what makes you happy, so you’ll receive items you truly love.”

Registry Tips from Jenna & Jeremy

Consider the future. “Though we sought out items for our present home, we also wanted long-lasting pieces we could use in a larger house in the future.”

Update often. “We were surprised with several wedding showers and were blessed to receive many registry gifts. We found it was best to monitor and add to the lists frequently, so guests had options in various price points.”
