When faced with seemingly endless options of beautiful items, it can be difficult to narrow down your choice to form a well balanced registry – but we are here to help! It’s important to ensure that you have some essential core items that will be key in your home and life together.
Thinking long term is essential. While it is important to add the smaller gifts to your registry, your wedding gifts should be selected to last you years to come. This is also an occasion where people will be wanting to buy you something that will have longevity and will hold a sentimental place for you throughout your married life – so it’s important to put some thought into the larger items you add to your registry.
Here are our top ten essentials for your wedding registry:
Quality roasting, baking and cookware
Let’s start in the kitchen. It’s time to throw out any old pots and pans and kit out your kitchen with quality cookware that will stand the test of time.
Statement electronics
Give your guests the option of investing in a quality item for your kitchen. The KitchenAid Stand Mixer or Magimix Food Processor are a phenomenal addition to any kitchen!
Glassware
Crystal cut decanters and whiskey glasses or statement wine and champagne glasses make beautiful wedding gifts and are great for your future entertaining.
A quality dinner service
A fresh, quality dinner service that will last for years to come is a must-have addition to your registry. Our most popular dinner service is Mervyn’s Blue M range, which is exclusive to Bespoke.
Timeless crockery
Add to that complementary crockery and your entertaining needs will be sorted. We love everything from Spode in classic blue and white.
Special serveware
Platters and serveware are usually the first gifts to be bought as they are so practical and will always be used and displayed. We select our platters and bowls for versatility – they look beautiful when displayed but are also practical to use every day.
Beautiful bed linen
Is there anything better than crisp, quality bed linen? Start your married life fresh with everything from new linen to inners and throws.
Bathroom luxuries
Bathroom linen is important – go with soft fluffy towels for you and smarter flat weave hand towels for the guest bathroom.
Something sentimental
A beautiful print, painting or sculpture that will never date and always be a reminder of your special day.
Something for the groom
It’s great to add something to the registry that’s specially for him. A braai, pizza oven, sound system or knives make great gifts for the groom.
