You can book your bridal appointment online, or you may call our dedicated Bridal Team directly at 901-341-0368.
We block two hours of one-on-one time with you and your groom (plus a guest!) in our beautifully curated Bridal Shoppe. During this time, we get to know you, go over the whole registry process (perks, policies, and everything else!), and help curate a beautiful registry that speaks to your specific taste and personality.
Not local to Memphis or Nashville? No worries! With our virtual appointments, out-of-town brides can still enjoy all the perks of being a Bella Vita bride! Through a video call, we’ll guide you in building your registry with the same personalized attention and exclusive benefits, no matter where you're located.
One of the greatest advantages of registering at Bella Vita is our voluntary pre-order program. All of our brides have the choice to pre-order as many or as few items as they desire!
While this is not required, there are many benefits! This perk ensures that we have your items on hand, in stock, when your friends and family arrive to shop. It also helps navigate current stock shortages and ensures that all handmade items are made at the same time for as much cohesiveness as possible.
Most importantly, you will receive the items you love in real time to be able to start married life with a beautifully set table!
The experience! Bridal is not just an after-thought at Bella Vita. It is a core part of our business, and we are constantly investing in a better experience for our brides and also their loved ones. People and processes are in place to ensure we don't let you (or your wedding guests) down!
Absolutely! All registries are available online to shop, and during your appointment, our bridal team will create and enter your registry on our website and save you that hassle.
Purchases from your Bella Vita registry can be made online or in-store, making it easy to share your wedding registry with friends and family near and far. Registries are updated online immediately after purchases are made so that brides can stay up-to-date in real time.
Bella Vita offers shipping and local delivery, so no matter if you’re a local-based bride or live out of town, your family and friends will have a great experience shopping for you and your groom.
Anything! As the largest independent retailer for many of our vendors, we’re proud to offer an unmatched variety, including over 100 dinnerware options to help you create a place setting that’s uniquely yours.
Even better? At Bella Vita, we offer so much more than just dinnerware. From luxurious bedding to must-have kitchen essentials, we have the perfect pieces to start your new life together!
For our locally-based brides, we offer Local Delivery only. With 200+ brides at any given point in time, we unfortunately cannot offer local pickup for our brides anymore. Our brides can choose to have their gifts delivered to their home, or even to a family member's home!
If you are not local, your registry will be set up so that your guests select a shipping option to get your gifts to you.
Typically, all local bridal gifts are delivered on Fridays. You will get a text notification on Thursday if you have gifts to be delivered. On Friday, you will receive a text from our delivery service letting you know the delivery time frame, and after a Bella Vita van drops off your gifts, you will get a text notification with a photo of the delivery on your doorstep.
If you are out of town or cannot receive gifts on a particular Friday, you can reply to the delivery text on Thursday and let us know you want your gifts held for another week. No problem at all!
How about an update every few minutes? Any purchase made in-store or online will be automatically updated in your online registry within minutes. We have a dedicated developer and dedicated web team in Memphis to ensure that our store and online apps are syncing on a daily basis.
We'll take care of that for you! We will create and update your registry for you, so we can give you the best service possible.
As a Bella Vita bride, you'll have a dedicated Bridal Team to call or text with ANY questions you have! No need to call the store and speak to different sales associates who may or may not be familiar with your registry.
We do many out-of-town bridal appointments via video phone call, so you do not need to be present at your appointment if you do not live near our locations and want to get help building your registry.
As soon as possible! There are many occasions and showers before your wedding, and registering early helps your guests find the perfect gift for you. If you are local and choose to partake in our optional Save the Plate Program, it also gives us enough time to get your pre-ordered items in stock from the vendors.
Not to worry! We keep track of every single gift that is purchased from your registry, and more importantly, who gifted it to you. You are welcome to ask our bridal team for our registry log any time you wish.
If someone purchases an item we do not have on hand, we will issue a beautifully designed Merchandise Card. This card will serve as a temporary placeholder for the item they wanted to purchase for you!
At your Closeout Appointment (see below), you can redeem that Merchandise Card for the desired item, or you can use that value towards another item.
Our bridal team will schedule a Closeout Appointment within 30 days of your wedding date. This is where we will handle your exchanges and merchandise cards. Plus, you have the option to purchase any remaining items on your registry at 15% off! Purchasing the remaining items on your registry is not required if we did not special order items for your registry.
Your registry will remain active for 12 months after your wedding date. That way, your loved ones can continue to use your registry for other gifts, such as birthdays and holidays!
