Sometimes, we like to think about the Strategist as a “department store.” There’s the bedding and linens department, where you’ll find crisp percale sheets, already-broken-in-feeling linen duvets, and pillows for all kinds of sleepers. There’s the kitchen department, stocked with everyday items like Pyrex measuring cups and sturdy box graters alongside handy appliances like rice cookers and stand mixers. Then there’s the tabletop department, where La Soufflerie glassware and East Fork mugs sit on the same shelf. When you visit, you can find a non-boring bedside lamp, striped beach towels, and an extra-large picnic blanket all on the same shopping trip.
When putting together our Strategist Wedding Registry 100, we asked ourselves: What would we register for at our department store? The items here pull from almost every “department” and, as always, are expertly vetted and stood behind by our team. To select the items on this list, we combed through our archives and imagined what would suit couples of all kinds. There are products from our Best in Class series that have been tested and retested by our writers and pieces from our Steal My Registry series, where we hear from people with good taste about what they registered for their weddings. Then, to round out the list, we snooped around our friends’ registries for inspiration and added in any items we might’ve missed — but that are in demand by those actually getting ready for their weddings.
Here, you’ll find items both practical and delightful to fill your home — whether it’s one you’ve been living in together for a decade or just starting to set up. Welcome to the Strategist Wedding Registry.
