THE Wedding Registry Trend Every Modern Couple Needs to Know About

One of the most fun parts of wedding planning is deciding what to put on your wedding registry for your new *married* home. But choosing items you’ll want forever can pile on the pressure, and you may find yourself feeling a little overwhelmed with trying to choose items that will look good and stand the test of time + trends. Creating the ultimate registry checklist really is a craft that involves sticking with materials and textures that have weathered the decades and still manage to look chic and effortless. Gleaming copper accessories add a luxe vibe while crisp marble decor feels airy and clean. Both go with pretty much everything, for a chic way to tie together eclectic decor. Scroll down to check out some of our favorite copper + marble pieces to help make registering a breeze!

1. Anthropologie Marble + Wood Serving Board ($68+): Whether you’re a serious chef or just getting started in the kitchen, you can never have too many cutting boards. A cute serving board that transitions seamlessly from the counter to the coffee table is ideal for serving cheese to guests or dressing up your dinner table. This whimsical one from Anthropologie comes in two cute shapes: a whale for the nautically inclined and a pineapple for a tropical touch.

2. West Elm Marble Pillar Table Lamp ($119): Decorators tend to eschew overhead lighting and favor table lamps for a reason — the light they give off is infinitely more flattering, and they provide a much greater ability to customize the feel of a space. This narrow lamp combines antique brass and crisp marble for a chic result. Consider registering for two, in case you want to have matching bedside lamps.

3. Kooks Unlimited Three Cup Copper French Press ($49): We’re all for the convenience of k-cup coffee makers, but coffee brewed from a French press just tastes better. Whether you’re total coffee aficionados or just love that morning buzz, you’ll definitely notice the difference. Plus there’s something so romantic about preparing coffee for two – just picture yourselves sharing a French press while enjoying breakfast in bed as newlyweds. This copper version is as pretty as it is functional, and makes just the right amount to share.

4. Deny Designs Marble Pillowcases ($49, set of two): Speaking of breakfast in bed, it’s tough to know what color scheme you’ll want in your bedroom forever, so pick pillowcases that can mix and match well with a variety of duvets and quilts. Stick to neutral tones and you’ll be in good shape to mix and match new colors along the way. This marble set will be sure to rock your first few years of marriage.

5. Anthropologie Aurora Copper String Lights ($16+): You’ll definitely want to entertain guests in your married home and having festive decor will seriously up your hosting game. String lights create a celebratory atmosphere and work double time as cute everyday decor. Save Christmas lights for the holidays and take a year-round approach to keep your home looking more intentional. These delicate copper strands and tiny lights give off a warm punctuated glow that’s perfect for mantles and dining tables. Consider weaving them amongst greens on a dining table for a chic centerpiece.

6. Williams-Sonoma Copper Vertical Wall Planter ($190): Whether you’ve got a yard for days, a balcony or no outdoor space at all, a creative indoor planter will help you get your garden growing. Plants are the perfect way to liven up your kitchen and ensure you’ll have fresh herbs all year long. Just picture yourselves whipping up a bowl of pasta together for dinner and trimming some basil to top it off. This copper planter has ten separate cells — plenty of space for different plants — and takes up zero counter space.

7. D.L. & Co Harvest Moon Candle ($50): There’s nothing more romantic than candlelight and nothing more annoying than a candle that burns out after just a few uses. Long-lasting candles with multiple wicks give off gorgeous light and are perfect for bubble baths and bedrooms. This one has a gorgeous marble-inspired exterior that will make a sweet ring holder when the candle’s finished.

8. Crate & Barrel Penelope Accent Table ($189): Small accent tables are perfect for resting your wine glasses, placing plants or housing snacks while you Netflix + chill your way through the next few months and date nights to come (because, let’s be honest, all that wedding planning is exhausting). Choose a shape that will work next to the couch or between chairs to optimize its potential for years to come.

9. West Elm Wire Mesh Baskets ($22+):Clutter is just a part of life, but it can be a total pain when it comes to cohabiting. Twice the mail and clothes can make your shared home feel crowded, quickly. Storage baskets are a home (and relationship) saver, since they provide an easy way to tidy up and keep things organized. These baskets are unobtrusive and have a charming French countryside appeal that makes going through that pile of bills or laundry feel a little bit more glam.

10. World Market Copper Colander ($10): A pretty colander is a must-have for washing fruits + vegetables and storing them attractively on your countertop. Make it a habit to wash fresh produce as soon as you get home so it’s ready to be eaten, and you’ll start your married life off on a healthy note.

11. Anthropologie Cleaved Totem Tieback ($25 each): Small details pack a big punch when it comes to decorating your home together. Brighten up every morning in your bedroom or living space with tiebacks that make letting the sunshine in a breeze. These tiebacks combine geometric copper with faceted marble for a look that achieves the perfect mix of boho and relaxed glam.

12. Williams-Sonoma Copper Hammered Cocktail Shaker ($70): Deck out your bar with sleek pieces so you’ll always be ready to party. At the very minimum, you should have a martini in your cocktail arsenal, and a gleaming cocktail shaker will make you look like a pro. This shaker was designed to chill beverages to perfection and the hand-hammered copper exterior gives it a timeless appeal.

13. The White Company Marble Coasters ($35): Chances are you’re acquiring furniture that you’d like to keep around for a while, so stashing cute coasters on dining and coffee tables is a good way to hint to guests (and your newly betrothed) to slip a coaster under that cocktail or coffee cup. These coasters nest into each other for easy storage and look polished as a decorating element on their own when they’re not protecting surfaces.

14. CB2 Portal Brushed Copper Shelves ($30): Storage is an often overlooked registry item that makes a big difference in your home’s overall appearance — especially in smaller spaces. Cute shelving is the perfect place to display your wedding photos, plants or keys while keeping surfaces clear. These shelves were designed in sconce-like shapes and look particularly pleasing in odd numbers, staggered at differing heights.

15. Pier1 Imports Hammered Pitcher ($40): Whether you’re brewing iced tea to keep in the fridge or crafting a fresh batch of mojitos, a cute pitcher comes in handy for everyday use and entertaining. This pitcher pairs perfectly with the cocktail shaker above and positively begs you to whip up some sangria to enjoy with your new spouse.

16. Hawkins New York Marble & Copper Canisters ($50+): Besides the requisite appliances, the canisters on your counters are the most noticeable decor to grace your kitchen. Save valuable drawer space and put all the kitchen tools you use regularly in canisters close to the stove for easy access. Just because they’re utilitarian doesn’t mean they can’t be attractive, too.

17. West Elm Copper Oil + Vinegar Set ($39):Easy access to oil and vinegar makes cooking *so* much easier. Whipping up some salad dressing? Making eggs for breakfast? Just grab and pour. This set looks great on countertops (especially marble) and is also pretty enough to keep on your dining table.

18. Williams-Sonoma Hammered Copper Sleeves With Glasses ($24.95): The holidays may not be on your mind yet, but one of the best parts of getting married is spending that time together, as a family. Celebrate that fun fact with registry items that will make things feel merry and bright. Register for several of these mugs so you can stay cuddled up with your love, enjoying cider and cocoa when the temperatures turn chilly.

19. World Market Marble Cheese Slicer ($13): Looking to really impress your next dinner guests? A cheeseboard with a built-in slicer cuts cleanly through cheeses for the perfect slice every single time. If you’re a cheese-loving couple or you love to entertain, consider this slicer an investment in your dining future.

20. Williams-Sonoma Marble Wine Chiller ($60): Keep white wine and rosé nice and chilled during the summer months without having to add ice cubes. Pair a wine chiller with the cheese cutter above and you’ve got a seriously classy dining situation that any French woman would approve of. This versatile chiller is a classic piece that can be used in casual and formal dining situations alike.

The first few trailers for Zendaya's Challengers hooked me with the promise of a steamy love triangle and plenty of drama on and off the tennis court. I can now confidently say this is one of the best movies of the year — if not Zendaya's entire career. The film (which just nabbed a 100 percent Rotten Tomatoes score) explores love and passion in a totally different way than I expected. And while it engages your senses, more than anything, it makes you feel.

"Challengers" Is A Fully Emotional Experience

Image via Amazon MGM Studios

Challengers (directed by Luca Guadagnino) is a full experience thanks to the visuals, sound design, and score. The first 10 minutes alone will make you want to re-enter your tennis era, and the vibrant feel of Challengers makes everything from a American college campus to a backyard feel like the Italian coast.

This backyard is where we see Mike Faist's Art, Josh O'Connor's Patrick, and Zendaya's Tashi truly mesh for the first time. Both Art and Patrick want Tashi's number, but while she's curious, she's not so sure she should offer it up. They spend time talking about tennis and college, and later that night, Tashi promises her number to the one that wins their match, rather than the one that catches her eye or moves her. It's a telling choice that has major ramifications later on in the story. Tashi just wants to watch drama unfold, especially if it makes the boys' tennis more emotional (she, as the kids say, loves mess).

Image via Amazon MGM Studios

From this point on, Tashi, Patrick, and Art move as a unit, even when their relationships end. Tashi's at the helm, and while she's definitely the mastermind, she's more like their North Star than a leader giving them direct orders. Patrick and Art follow her light over the course of the next 13 years, to a Challengers tournament that pits the estranged friends against each other.

It's very clear what both men think about her, and the smallest details reinforce they are in love. (For instance, at one of Tashi's early matches, their eyes linger on her even after she's hit the ball, while she barely moves a muscle to keep up with their match later in the movie).

"Challengers" Is More About The Characters Than Tennis

Image via Amazon MGM Studios

Even though all three leads are fully-formed, individual characters (with wildly different personalities, might I add), they switch places at any given point in the story to fill each other's emotional shoes. One moment, Art is hopeful, Tashi is calculated, and Patrick is driven. The next Tashi is entirely focused on tennis, Art is willing to bend the rules of right and wrong to get what he wants, and Patrick is left in their wake. You can never truly root for one person before the tables are turned, but despite it all, the tension between them always leaves you wanting more.

Image via Amazon MGM Studios

While the movie has a number of tennis matches (which means an endless amount of tennis grunts), the most impactful moments for me are the quiet ones. We know Art and Patrick are in love with Tashi, but we're never quite sure what Tashi thinks about herself.

The Spider-Man actress brings a nuance to the character we haven't seen from her before, and there's a cautious tenderness to the moments where Tashi's back is facing another character, or where she's standing alone. You can almost see the gears turning in her head. "Almost" is the most important word because Challengers is full of "almosts": Tashi almost apologizes, Art almost chooses himself over everyone.

Image via Amazon MGM Studios

Challengers is full of open-ended emotions that serve as an exploration of human nature in all its complicated, manipulative, dreamy glory. It's a movie about passion and love and desire — and it's one that leaves you wondering who, or what, the object of that desire is.

While things seemed to quiet down, Ashlyn Harris soon filed for divorce from Ali Krieger after getting married towards the end of 2019. What's interesting is that a source told Peoplethis decision wasn't surprising. "Although it’s new information to the public, Ashlyn and Ali’s divorce began months ago and they have been living apart since the summer,” the source said.

This is also around the time it was speculated Sophia Bush and Ashlyn Harris had their first official date. A rep told People, "Grant will always want the best for Sophia, and is supportive of all that makes her happy and fulfilled." We guess it helps he and Sophia had a solid friendship before getting married!

As for Ali Krieger, she basically let the world know things were business as usual with an Instagrampost. She captioned a pic of her playing soccer with, "Preparing for playoffs while in my Beyoncé lemonade era." A comment from user @lgbtlfg said, "the fact that a lot of players in these comment’s usually mind their business and stay out of drama but are supporting ali should tell everyone all they need to know."

The only thing Ashlyn said about it on Instagramis that she never intended for her and Ali's divorce to be made a public matter. A portion of her note says, "This process is never easy, but we were making our way through."

Have Sophia Bush and Ashlyn Harris publicly talked about their relationship?

Besides showing up to Elton John's Oscars afterparty together, Sophia Bush and Ashlyn Harris were previously tight-lipped about their relationship. The only hint Sophia offered was much more of a reflective post about 2023 on Instagramat the beginning of January. She said, "This year taught me to listen to myself and no one else. To let go of expectation that wounds and grasp possibility that frees. To not care about optics and instead invest in honesty."

But, she's since chosen to own where she is in life.

Sophia Bush has now reached a point where she's publicly ready to stand in her truth regarding her life and her relationship status so much that she penned her own cover story for Glamour. The first thing she did was open up about how she really felt about her marriage and fertility struggles.

She wrote, "But after the wedding I found myself in the depths and heartbreak of the fertility process, which was the most clarifying experience of my life. It feels like society is finally making space for brutally honest conversations about how hard and painful any fertility journey is, but I kept mine private. I was trying to get through months of endless ultrasounds, hormone shots, so many blood draws that I have scar tissue in my veins, and retrieval after retrieval, while simultaneously realizing the person I had chosen to be my partner didn’t necessarily speak the same emotional language I did.”

As far as her relationship with Ashlyn Harris is concerned, the star is enjoying the love that exists between them. Contrary to alleged rumors, their initial relationship was a platonic one that stemmed from a place of understanding and support.

She told Glamour,I didn’t expect to find love in this support system. I don’t know how else to say it other than: I didn’t see it until I saw it. And I think it’s very easy not to see something that’s been in front of your face for a long time when you’d never looked at it as an option and you had never been looked at as an option. What I saw was a friend with her big, happy life. And now I know she thought the same thing about me.”

She also added, "A lot of effort was made to be graceful with other people’s processing, their time and obligations, and their feelings. What felt like seconds after I started to see what was in front of me, the online rumor mill began to spit in the ugliest ways. There were blatant lies. Violent threats. There were the accusations of being a home-wrecker. The ones who said I’d left my ex because I suddenly realized I wanted to be with women—my partners have known what I’m into for as long as I have (so that’s not it, y’all, sorry!).”

It's safe to say that Sophia Bush is thoroughly comfortable with her love life and identity as a queer woman. She said, "I’ve experienced so much safety, respect, and love in the queer community, as an ally all of my life, that, as I came into myself, I already felt it was my home. I think I’ve always known that my sexuality exists on a spectrum. Right now I think the word that best defines it is queer. I can’t say it without smiling, actually. And that feels pretty great.”

And this is what it looks like to reclaim your narrative when so many people are looking at a brief glimpse of the lives of celebrities. We love that Sophia Bush and Ashlyn Harris are loving each other on their terms without feeling pressured to share anything before they were ready to. Our hope is that their love story continues to unfold beautifully.
