Miami's Best Wedding Registry Spots

Registering for your wedding gifts online makes sense, especially for those guests who won't be able to come or who are coming from out of town. They can order your gift and have it delivered to your home without ever once touching it themselves. Online wedding registries are also an ideal solution for those with butterfingers and a taste for crystal vases. But keep in mind that not everyone (your grandmother, by chance) uses a computer, so try to find online sources that also have brick-and-mortar stores in the city, which will work for last-minute attendees as well.

Cosabella

760 Ocean Drive
Miami Beach, FL 33139
(305) 534-4731
shop.cosabella.com

If you want to be a blushing bride or turn that groom into a hot mess, check out the Cosabella bridal registry. The shop's lingerie specialists will help you load up your list with all sorts of Italian lacy bits to cover up your bits, whatever ethnic origin they may be. This is one babydoll-and-teddy secret you may want to keep from your abuela, however.

Williams-Sonoma

www.williams-sonoma.com

Because you can't imagine what married life might be like without a Breville panini press or Michael Bras knives, registering here is your first thought after hmm, exactly how big is that carat? But, you don't have to be a certified foodie to long for the monogrammed bar ware you can find here - even if you don't change your name. Williams-Sonoma stores are on Lincoln Road and in Aventura.  They are also in some are malls; check the website for a location near you.

Swiss Sleep System

(866) 784-7799
www.swisssleepsystem.com

This innovative, double-mattress, slatted-board electric bed is designed to change your way of sleep, and thus your life. Why not invest in it together? Because it is pricey and a bit complicated - there are duvets and pillows to be purchased as well - setting up a bridal registry is a bit trickier than simply pointing and clicking. But it can be done. Call the Miami showroom for details.

Bloomingdale's

www.bloomingdales.com

Anchoring nearly every uber-mall in the country Bloomie's is one-stop shopping for all your new bride-and-groom needs: china, silver, crystal, linens - even garbage cans for your bathrooms. If you have the fortitude, you can register for everything here. But bring some protein bars if you plan on doing it all at once.
