Being engaged has been so much fun! However, one of the parts about it I dread is registering for wedding gifts. But it is a necessary step in the engagement process and the perfect opportunity to upgrade household essentials while adding a few special pieces to our china cabinet! I think it's important to update your home and kitchen essentials when you get married with items you picked out together... Sort-of a fresh start for your life together. Leif and I are in need of some classic, stylish pieces for hosting parties so we checked out Bloomingdale’s registry for top-notch server-ware!
