The wedding registry is the typical way for engaged couples to let friends and family know what they need to help set up house. But as with ceremonies, gowns, and more, the registry is undergoing some changes. Birkat Elyon has long provided couples with dazzling CZ wedding and engagement rings; here are the trends we’re seeing with the wedding registry.
THE ONLINE SHOP: Technology makes listing and organizing your desired items a snap. You can put things from different retailers all in one place, making it easier for guests to purchase and send them right to your door.
REVENGE TRAVEL: After all the time we spent confined over the last couple years, couples are itching to get out and travel – in a big way. There’s even a term for it: “revenge travel.” One registry trend is for guests to help fund a luxury honeymoon instead of “stuff.”
“SMART HOME” ITEMS: There are so many high-tech ways to control the modern home – even when you’re not home. One big “ask” now on wedding registries is for wireless devices to handle lights, climate, security, entertainment, appliances, and more.
PET STUFF: For many of us, our pets are an important part of our families. That love is being extended to wedding registries, with requests for “gifts” for an engaged couple’s fur kids.
BRANDS WITH A MISSION: Supporting brands that adhere to a couple’s values is a growing trend these days. On today’s wedding registries, you may find things like eco-friendly linens, decorative pieces that help indigenous communities, or items that give back a portion of their profits to good causes.
COLOR AND COMFORT: When it comes to homeware like plates, towels, pillows, and sheets, the trend is away from “fancy” and more towards cheery colors and comforting textures.
No matter how much things change, one thing that’s always in style is great value. Birkat Elyon offers gorgeous cubic zirconia jewelry (including wedding and engagement rings) that’s virtually indistinguishable from diamonds. It’s more affordable, allowing couples to spend their hard-earned money on more important things in their life together.
