Looking for the best places to register for a wedding? With so many options out there, it’s easy to get completely overwhelmed about where to go. Start by narrowing down what kinds of items you want and need to register for—do you need all of the basics? Or just a few specialty items?—and pick a store that aligns with both your aesthetic and your needs. (The foodie couple, for example, might want to restock their kitchen by registering at Williams-Sonoma).
Whether you’re ready to finally upgrade a few household essentials, add a few really special pieces to your china cabinet or are starting completely from scratch, these are the absolute best places to register for a wedding.
