WISH LIST

Consider great registry advice from one recently married couple.

In the midst of enjoying their engagement, frolicking at pre-wedding festitivites, and making arrangements for their upcoming summer nuptials in Beverly Hills, California, Shayla (née Bloom) and Benjamin Gordon realized they also had to create a registry. Though many couples have a difficult time settling on what exactly to register for, Shayla and Benjamin had a fairly clear vision of their goals. First, they wanted to replace older items they had collected over the years with better quality pieces. They also chose to include products that they would never buy for themelves, but really desired, such as a designer garment bag and high-end coasters. Finally, they added china and silver to their wish list, as many of these luxury pieces are considered heirlooms to be passed from generation to generation.
