After considering many different options for our wedding registry – Zola, Williams Sonoma, Target, and everything in between – I ultimately ended up registering with Amazon. I was able to find all of my essentials for great prices, and the 20% off completion discount definitely comes in handy for purchasing any items left on your registry after your wedding!
When I was making my registry, I constantly searched for posts like this to find other people’s recommendations. I hope this post is helpful to anyone in the process of preparing for a wedding, looking for new home essentials, or simply searching for new things to buy on Amazon 🙂

What I love most of all about your registry is that you have stuck with the same brands, like Le Creuset and Lenox. When you love one place for glasses, dishes, or kitchenware, it is hard to argue with buying it all consistently.
The scrapbook sounds awesome! I have some refillable notebooks and they are among my favorite to continuously add to and use.
Thanks for sharing!
I completely agree! I love having trusted brands that can act as my go-to for household staples like kitchenware. Thanks for reading!
I like that this is organized under price ranges which can be good for almost everyone. The cookware sounds like so much fun!
So glad you enjoyed reading this! I hope it was helpful 🙂
Thank you for these suggestions. I want to buy some of them for home. Love the pasta bowls, we need some ATM, haha x
Yes, the pasta bowls are fantastic! I’d definitely recommend them 🙂
Having a registry like this must take some of the stress away from people guessing what you may want — and I love the fact there are different price points so that most people will be able to participate. I’d love the pasta bowls myself, haha so maybe I can do an anniversary request for those?! Thanks for sharing this!
