Our Favorite Copper Housewares to Add to Your Wedding Registry

When it comes to unique materials to consider for your newlywed home, copper is at the very top of our list. Not only is it of-the-moment (the shiny metal has been trending in all categories as of late), it's also incredibly classic and has been used in home décor for years. One of the best things about copper is that it's extremely versatile: It can be minimalist when paired with marble and geometric lines, but it can feel more antique when it has a hammered finish. Copper pieces can also feel timeless, especially in the form of a classic registry item like a set of copper pots and pans. Simply put, it's a material that's both rustic and chic, classic and modern, and it pairs well with absolutely everything

On top of the aesthetically-pleasing nature of its shiny, rose gold-like finish, copper also has some has some practical merits. Specifically, it's a superior heat conductor, making it an extremely popular material for cookware. Copper is excellent at evenly distributing and holding consistent temperature while you cook, meaning that foods that would otherwise be sensitive to uneven heat distribution will be cooked perfectly using the metal in cookware (this also makes it a very popular choice among the best chefs in the world).
