The Top 10 Wedding Registry Items Might Surprise You

"These Malta Lanterns ($34-$249) are classic and transitional. Whether on your porch or on a coffee table, mantel, or entryway, a trio of good lanterns is an easy way to make a statement," Tony says.

Pottery Barn is the go-to for high-quality frames, so it's not surprising that its collection of Modern Silver-Plated Frames ($20) is a top registry item. "In a time where social media is constant and seemingly inescapable, the comfort of the printed image feels welcome," Tony says. Plus, he notes that they look great as a one-off or grouped in a gallery wall.

Tony says he and the design team created the Harrison Wine Bottle Cooler With Stand ($149) and the entire Harrison collection to "be durable while being elegant with a touch of vintage flair," and that look is certainly resonating with couples. "You can collect fancy barware, but register for these pieces that will stand the test of time."

A lot of people aren't aware that Pottery Barn makes luggage, but the Saddle Leather Weekender Bag ($299) is a top registry item. "As with any well-made leather piece, the craftsmanship and finish get better over time," Tony explains.

A Vintage Wood Platter ($39) is a simply beautiful way to entertain, and everything looks elevated when served on it.

"Wine tastes better in better glassware," says Tony, who loves the Schott Zwiesel Stemware ($72, set of six) because they're durable and classic. "Couples will love that these glasses make all wine taste good and look good, no matter the price."

It's no accident that the Joshua Dinnerware Collection (from $28) is so popular with engaged couples. Tony says that it's extradurable, sized to fit in all cabinets and dishwashers, and can even go from the freezer to the oven without cracking. "If you register for one dinnerware pattern, this timeless design is the best."

Tony suggests registering for a handful of these cozy Faux Fur Throws ($129-$229) to have all over your home. "Use one to cozy up on the sofa for a rom-com Netflix night, lay one at the foot of your bed, drape one in the entryway, and keep one by the door to your backyard to wrap up by the fire pit."

Pottery Barn Luna Flatware ($45) is versatile and long lasting, making it an obvious choice for couples who love to entertain at all levels of formality. "The clean lines and in-house design of this beautiful set will never go out of style," Tony says.

"Bad towels should be a crime," says Tony, who loves registry favorite the 820-Gram Weight Bath Towels ($10) and the number one most-registered item as "a simple and sound investment in your daily happiness."
