It\u2019s easy to miss the must-have wedding registry items that you\u2019ll need to build a cohesive home for you and your partner when you\u2019re in the midst of wedding planning. After all, there\u2019s a lot to keep track of!<\/p>\n

When I first moved in with my husband, I realized it was going to take some work to get the place looking like a home. My husband wasn\u2019t a bachelor anymore, but his apartment sure was designed for one. Milk crate end tables and bean bag chairs didn\u2019t really feel like the design elements of mature, married people!<\/p>\n

So, I made a list of items we needed, broken down into four categories:<\/p>\n
