Fancy Stores For Wedding Registries

Target, Best Buy, Bed Bath & Beyond: there are plenty of places you can create a registry for all the toasters and blenders you need. You can even go off-reservation and follow your interests as a couple with stores like REI or Games by James. But if you’re holding the wedding at your summer house because the chalet in Switzerland is getting remodeled, even Williams-Sonoma may seem positively pedestrian for a registration. If you’re a fancy couple (or just want to pretend to be for a little while), here are five upscale wedding registries to consider:

Restoration Hardware

From the perfect set of wrought-iron coat hooks to the rustic reclaimed-wood studded headboard of your dreams, Restoration Hardware has you covered. They specialize in rugged, understated pieces for a high-end homespun look. Because whose bedroom is complete without a 17th-centry Castillo cabinet?

Sur la Table

Do you like cooking and entertaining? I mean, really like cooking and entertaining? Are you not satisfied with your cooking unless you’re using pots and pans that each cost more than dinner at the most upscale restaurant imaginable? Then you should definitely register at Sur La Table. Sure, you could slice that filet mignon with something other than a $50 steak knife. But why on earth would you?

Baccarat

If you’re looking for the perfect crystal champagne flutes to drink your Dom Perignon out of, look no further than this store named after the most expensive (and confusing) game to ever grace the VIP rooms of Las Vegas. Forget the cheesy wedding favors and cheap wedding sparklers and opt for something that your wedding guests will absolutely love. After all, why shouldn’t your glassware cost more than the booze you’re drinking from them? If you’re not drinking your 20-year-old Scotch out of a $75 tumbler, you might as well be using a Styrofoam cup.

Luxe and Liberty

When you hold your next wine and cheese party, wow your guests by serving the brie on a $982 serving tray from Luxe and Liberty. How can you say you have a truly civilized household without those high-end touches to really add that bit of class? If you’re all set in the serving tray department, add the $400, 600-thread-count sheets to your registry to make sure your marriage bed will cradle you and your new spouse in luxury. The satin sheets in your honeymoon villa in Fiji will feel like burlap compared to what’s waiting at home.

Moma Design Store

If you must register for kitchen tools or lamps, bring some class to the proceedings by asking for these functional works of art from the Museum of Modern Art in New York City. The tempered glass pot will make boiling pasta a truly luxurious experience. After dinner, you and your new spouse can cuddle beneath the warm glow of a skull lamp. Show your transcendent taste by filling out your registry with these one-of-a-kind works.

Okay, so maybe after sampling how the 1% lives, you may be perfectly content to register at Target. But at least now that Kitchen Aid stand mixer won’t seem far too expensive to add to the registry.
