wedding heirlooms to complete your wedding regsistry

Creating your wedding registry is a right of passage while planning your wedding. Carefully selecting items that you and your partner love, need and want. From cutlery to cups, you'll need it all and who doesn't love Crate and Barrel.

Beyond the dishes and mini muffin pans, we also strongly suggest adding a few heirloom items that can stand the test of time not only in style but also in quality. Choose pieces that will belong to your family for several generations to come. Yes, some of these items have a higher price point and will require group gifting – and that's okay.
