How to Create a Wedding Registry: The Bromberg’s Guide

Not Your Mother’s China: Dinnerware to Delight

With these dazzling designs from the world’s best dinnerware producers, you’ll be looking for any excuse to put together your favorite tablescape and bring your new family together.

Herend

Herend’s multitude of delightful patterns makes finding something new and something blue an easy choice. These patterns are endlessly mix-and-matchable, giving you so many ways to keep things fresh, exciting, and beautiful at any events to come.

Annieglass

We all know that our wedding isn’t the only day we’re going to want—no, need—cake. Chrissy, our very own advertising extraordinaire, was once a Bromberg’s Bride herself, and she highly recommends this must-have registry item: the Annieglass Ruffle Pedestal Cake Plate. 

Chrissy says: “It’s the prettiest cake stand I’ve ever seen, and I bake for absolutely no reason just so I can pull out my Annieglass cake stand.”

Vietri

We love dinnerware that goes the distance, from your first holiday as a married couple to celebrating major milestones with your kids. This must-have bridal registry item comes highly recommended by Julia, our giftware buyer here at Bromberg’s. 

She says, “The Vietri Gold Rufolo charger is elegant with formal, holiday, or even casual dinnerware and is only $49!”

A Toast to the Moment: Champagne Flutes & More

Your wedding marks the beginning of a lifetime of special moments. Now is the perfect time to start your collection of glassware to commemorate the big day—and toast the many great memories to come. Here are a few of our team’s favorite picks.

Juliska

Juliska Graham Toasting Flutes, Set of 2

This Juliska Graham Toasting Flute Set (also pictured in the Herend bridal tablescape above) is perfect for honoring a formal celebration or adding a little spark to a casual night with friends. The simple yet intricate thread is the perfect symbol of union—now and forever.

Waterford

Waterford is synonymous with quality, craftsmanship, and celebration. So when it’s time to toast your everlasting love, cut the cake, and begin your lives together, what could be a better choice? Cindy, our expert bridal consultant at the Mountain Brook location, picked these two celebratory and commemorative pieces, ideal for any registry.

Making Indelible Memories: Engraving

In addition to the Waterford pieces above, Cindy also encourages brides to consider registry items that will help them savor the moment for years to come. She recommends “a silver wedding cake knife and toasting flutes/champagne flutes—even better if they are engraved with the wedding date by our master hand engraver Harald Herglotz, Jr.”

Learn More About Our Master Engraver

Bromberg’s was honored to work alongside Harald Herglotz, Jr.’s father for more than 30 years before his passing. Now continuing his father’s legacy, our master engraver personalizes both crystal and precious metals with exquisite, museum-quality detail. 

Becoming a master engraver takes years of dedication, practice, and skill—and only a select few artisans in the U.S. have the ability to do this fine work by hand. There’s no more unique and special way to commemorate your union than with a handcrafted piece by Mr. Harald Herglotz, Jr.
