Fina. They have a HUGE selection of tableware and everything is absolutely beautiful. My husband and I registered there when we got married two months ago and we LOVE everything we got. Michael C. Fina only has one store (located on Fifth Ave.), but you can purchase gifts off the registry if most of your guests live out-of-town and can't make the trip into the city. All the brides should definitely stop by the store and check it out. Definitely worth it. Congratulations to all the happy couples!

Our four current must-haves are: 1. The wine rack pictured above! One of our favorite date nights is just hanging out with the two of us and a bottle of wine, so a wine rack is necessary to make sure we have plenty of bottles stocked up for lots of date nights! 2. Wine glasses, to go with the date nights--and more than 2 would be great so we can invite friends and family to join in also! 3. Our Cuisinart Electric Fondue maker--because wine and cheese makes the perfect date night, making cheese (and of course chocolate!) fondue is a perfect addition--we LOVE it! 4. The rabbit corkscrew, to make sure we can break those bottles open! My fiance and I adore Crate & Barrell! Our four current must-haves are:

As for our registry, these are our top four must haves: 1. The wine rack you've featured: I didn't see this in the store when we were completing our registry, but it is gorgeous. Instead of having a guest book at our wedding, we're planning on having a different bottle of wine at each table that our guests can sign with a silver sharpie. Then we'll open one bottle on each of our wedding anniversaries. I can't think of a better way to display these bottles in our home than on this wine rack. 2. The Rabbit: No matter how many bottles of wine I open (and I've opened plenty in my day!), I always end up struggling with the cork in a very un-elegant fashion. A friend of ours has the Rabbit - it works wonderfully and breeds a lot more confidence from your guests. 3. The KitchenAid Mixer: Like almost every other girl, I've dreamed of having one of these FOREVER, and have always held off, telling myself that one day I'll be able to put it on my registry! 4. Cuisinart Coffee Maker: We're still using my very small coffee maker from college, which causes us to have to brew two or three pots before we're both satisfied. I can't wait to wake up to a nice big pot of coffee that has been digitally programmed to be ready exactly when we need it most!

With the economic downturn and belt-tightening lately, I fear they'll be too expensive for our guests, but the quality of design and craftsmanship is divine and their products fit right in with our well-established homey contemporary decorating style. I think it's worth it. Thus, here are my current 4 favorites: 1. Jura-Capressa Electric Kettle - We're loose tea and french pressed coffee junkies. Our stove top takes foreeeeever to boil water, and an electric kettle this beautiful would find its home on our counter, to be used with my double walled clear glass mugs I already own. 2. Wusthof Ikon 8-piece Knife Block Set - Our current knives are Terrible with a capital 'T'. The day approaches when one of us will cut ourselves with a dull blade as we try to saw through flank steak. 3. KitchenAid Artisan Stand Mixer in Onyx - I've been talking myself out of needing a mixer this fancy.. but y'know what? A fancy and beautiful mixer would be.. fancy! And lovely! 4. Cuisinart Food Processor - My favorite bean dip recipe just does not come out right at all from our shoddy little blender/food processor combo appliance. I need something with some real power under the hood. That's where my buddy Cuisinart comes in. I’ve been waffling back and forth on whether or not to register at Crate & Barrel.

I genuinely LOVE their products! I won't be putting on a fake smile and saying yes, I LOVE IT, when deep inside I cringe. 2. I can, and WILL, definitely use them again and again! 3. THIS TIME, I hopefully won't have to purchase the items I register for....because, THEY'LL BE FOR ME!!!!! YIPPEEE:::))) FINALLY, after the many times I've been a bridesmaid- college friends, best friends, older sister, and twin sister, IT'S MY TIME! After several trips to C&B to purchase the items I really like for others....I can NOW register MYSELF!!! Where do I start? 1. Wine Cooler- I'll need it for regulating my medicinal liquids. Planning goes well with cocktails! 2. Kitchenaid Mixer- A must have for the undomesticated...Although I watch the Food Network, I need all the help I can get! 3. Picnic table in a bag- I have purchased this for several other people. It's always a hit and a great item to keep in the trunk of your car...just in case, for those spur of the moment adventures!
