Florist? Photographer? Caterer? Check, check, check. Feel like you’re forgetting something in your wedding plans? Don’t neglect your registry! Your friends are dying to get you some memorable gifts to mark the occasion, so take a look at our list of the top ten gifts you might have forgotten to add:

Your wedding marks the first of many family celebrations you will share. Make future dinners and get-togethers just as special by including accessories that will adorn your table for years to come. These Simon Pearce candlesticks are stunning on any table.

 

 

Make your wedding-day memories last a lifetime by registering for a special frame. L’Objet frames make for luxurious keepsakes.

 

Include a splurge item. You may not end up finding every item on your gifts table, but this is a once-in-a-lifetime wishlist after all, so ask for something extraordinary like Flora Danica Dinnerware from Royal Copenhagen which has been adorning tables for over 200 years.

 

Most registries are full of delicate items to be kept on a display shelf, but how about throwing in something cozy and comfortable that you two will want to use every day, like a throw? These Alpaca throws from Alicia Adams are super soft.

 

Show off your favorite interests and hopes for the future by adding an inspiring book like 1,000 Places to See Before You Die and perhaps some other elegant leather-bound books from Graphic Image.

 

Travel accessories will come in handy on your honeymoon. Why not add a pair of fun beach towels to your registry, like these from Fresco?

 

Take the honeymoon retreat feeling home with you by registering for a great pair of lush and lavish pure cotton bath robes.

 

There’s nothing more exciting than scouring a website for lavish gifts that are all for you and your fiance, but don’t forget to include some practical items like wooden hangers, fine laundry soap, and laundry organizers, like these luxurious canvas totes from Dransfield and Ross.

Registries don’t have to be filled with just common items like dinnerware and glasses. Works of art are a wonderful addition to your list because they are always special. Our new pieces from Natural Curiosities, such as the Hubbard Flower Collection, will add a unique touch to your home.

 

 

While it is a bit uncouth to request monetary gifts, don’t be afraid to ask for a simple gift card. It can be overwhelming to decide on everything at once, so this is a perfect way to wait and see what you may want or need in the future.
