What excited you most about starting your wedding registry at Bloomingdale's?
I was most excited that the registry felt like the fun part of wedding planning. I was also so excited to see and explore brands I hadn't heard of.
How did you approach curating your registry? What was most important to you?
We went in with a short list of must-haves, like new dishes and wine glasses, but the second we walked into Bloomingdale's, that plan went out the window in the best way. Seeing everything in person made it so easy to imagine items in our home, and I loved getting to mix and match pieces that weren't even on my radar.
Which unexpected items did you add to your registry once you saw Bloomingdale's selection?
Before going in, I thought I wanted simple and classic items, and then I found the Bernardaud Tout Paris Plates and absolutely fell in love. It was the first thing I added to the registry.
What advice would you give someone who's starting to build their registry?
A friend who recently got married told me to put one thing on my registry that I looked at and immediately thought, I want to pass that down one day, and I thought that was such unique and cool advice. It helped me branch outside the usual items I would gravitate toward and focus more on forever pieces that I could see myself passing down to a future kid, niece, godchild, etc.
Which piece from your registry are you most excited to use right away? Which piece feels like a forever investment?
I'm most excited for the KitchenAid stand mixer. I've already been saving countless recipes that I can't wait to make. In terms of a forever piece, definitely the Baccarat vases. They're a timeless piece that we'll keep forever.
How did Bloomingdale's in-store registry services help make the process seamless?
I literally can't say enough good things about the in-store experience. My mind was blown by the expertise that the concierge team was able to provide. I don't think I even realized how much goes into matching napkins with plates with cups with silverware with table runners, and the Bloomingdale's team did all the heavy lifting and left Landon and me with the fun parts, like voting on our favorites.
How do the products you chose reflect your style and the life you're building together?
We tried to balance fun, unique pieces with everyday essentials. We focused on items that not only felt special to commemorate our wedding but were also practical for daily life.
