It's hitching season, y'all! Love is in the air and bridal showers and weddings are on the calendar. If you've got a bestie getting married soon, you're in for a treat! Wedding season is so much fun and a time for everyone to celebrate.

With engagement parties, showers, and teas coming up you might already be thinking of fun gifts to surprise the bride with. And while most couples are going to have an abundance of gift ideas on their registry, adding a personal touch to your gift is not only super common, but a super sweet addition! And if you're feeling indecisive, this list is compiled of the bestselling and most-loved registry picks to make it easy for you.

As a recent bride, there were some sweet sentiments friends and family surprised my husband I with that we absolutely love! Plus, there were a few items we received as gifts that we didn't think to put on our registry that we are now so thankful to have. Not only did I get married this year, but I've also been in eight weddings, and I've attended even more. That means I've seen my fair share of incredible wedding gifts, and some that may not be worth the trouble.

Whether they're moving in together for the first time, or they've been living in their fully furnished home for a while, chances are they could use a few upgrades on their homeware. I've gone through the registry dos and don'ts and searched for the best products on the market to help you find the ultimate gift for the ultimate bride. Whether it's a big-ticket registry item like the KitchenAid Mixer or an Always Pan, or a little something fun like a rhinestone claw clip or monogrammed tote, she is going to be incredibly touched by your sentiment.

And at the end of the day, what's going to make her feel most loved during this season is just showing her your love and support during such a special time in her life.

Always Pan® 2.0

This the best pan I've ever used! I have an older model and my husband and I are kicking ourselves for not adding another one to our registry. While she might already have some pots and pans in mind, we promise she'll reach for this one the most. Why? Because it's a 10-in-1 pan that braises, sears, steams, strains, sautes, fries, boils, bakes, serves, stores… it iterally does it all!

Bride Hair Claw Clip

How cute is this?! A bridal claw clip will make for the cutest accessory in all those getting ready pics! Plus, it will be super handy during late nights she's up planning and picking color schemes.

Kodak Half Frame Reusable Film Camera

This is such a sweet idea—help her capture all of the sweet moments throughout the wedding season with a reusable film camera! My husband and I bought a disposable camera we used to take fun photos throughout our wedding weekend and now I wish I got another one for showers, the bachelorette trip, and everything in-between! This camera is a step up from a regular disposable and takes great shots. After the wedding, she can get the film developed and look over all of the amazing moments.

KitchenAid Classic Stand Mixer

Perhaps the most popular item on every wedding registry is this KitchenAid mixer. This one comes with a 4.5 quart stainless steel bowl and has 10 different speeds. They'll be whipping up new recipes in no time with this bad boy on hand.

Monogrammed L.L. Boat and Tote Bag

Chances are, she's going to be obsessed with seeing her new last name and initials! Get her this iconic tote bag, but add a personal touch by adding her new monogram, or last name. I got one just like this and it was perfect for carrying to the venue on the day of!

Ceramic Jewelry Dish

After I got engaged one of my best friends gave me a small ring dish and I absolutely love it! Although I already have so many dishes like this laying around, I love the one I received as a gift because it reminds me of such a sweet season.

Custom Couple Portrait Poster

This one is always a hit! Find a photo of the couple, whether it be from their engagement, or another great pic of them, and get it made into a custom portrait! All you have to do is send in a photo, size, and any custom text you want. You also have the option to get the piece framed for an extra $20.

GE Profile - Opal 2.0 Portable Ice maker

These sheets made my bed softer than any luxury hotel bed. Cozy Earth's Bamboo Sheets are on Oprah's Favorite Thing's List almost every year and have won a ton of awards. These are made with 100% premium bamboo viscose which makes them incredibly soft and breathable. Not that it's about who gives the happy the couple the best gift... but this is the best gift.

She'll probably be writing a lot of letters, notes, and thank you cards during this season. Gift her a personalized set with her new name on it, or both of their names. Someone gave a set of notecards like this to me and they have come in handy multiple times!

Give her major heart eyes, literally! I got these custom sunglasses to wear during my beachy bachelorette weekend and loved them. I ended up wearing them on the dance floor at our wedding reception as well and I'm so glad I did! They were so fun in pictures and look so cute on my vanity now serving as a token from the super sweet season.

Magnasonic Professional Ultrasonic Jewelry Cleaner

Both the bride and groom will be sporting some new jewelry, so help them keep it clean!

It's effective, yet gentle, so no need to worry about it damaging their rings.

This 3-in-1 machine makes drip coffee, espresso, rapid cold brew, and it has an interior bean grinder. Basically, it's the dream coffee maker. Skip on buying them multiple different appliances and get them the one that does it all. If I could do it over again, this would have been on the top of our registry.

Someone surprised my now husband and I with a custom charcuterie board at one of our wedding showers and we absolutely love it. That was one thing we didn't have on our registry that we are so thankful to have now. It serves a great purpose, but will also be beautiful to display in their kitchen.

Even if it's not on their registry, I assure they would love to receive one.

Bridal pajamas are a must. This is such a special season in her life, make sure she's in bridal bliss as much as possible.

It's the scent of the season! Burning a specific candle or having a certain scent during wedding season is the perfect way to savor this time in her life.

The day I finally got one of these truly made me feel like an adult.

Ninja Professional 72 Oz Countertop Blender

I'm a big smoothie girl, so having a good blender was a must for our registry. I have a single serve blender that works in a pinch, but I've noticed a huge difference in the taste and texture of my smoothies and shakes when I use an actual blender with better quality blades.

Initial Heart Locket Necklace

She'll probably be getting so many big gifts, but don't forget about the little ones that can mean so much, too. If she's about to change her last name, get her an initial necklace that either has the initial from her new name, or her partners name — so cute!

Wifey Juicy Couture Tracksuit

Is she a '90s baby? If so, she will absolutely love the nostalgia of having her own Juicy tracksuit with "Wifey" rhinestoned on the back. Britney Spears wore a white Juicy tracksuit on her wedding day and she's giving us all the inspo. You can also get one that says "Bride" is you prefer.

Double-Sided Laundry Hamper

This laundry hamper has changed my life! Seriously, getting a double-sided laundry hamper has made our space so much more organized. This one in particular also has easily removable bags to make toting our laundry to the washing machine so much easier. This is something we didn't put on our registry that I wish we had.

Don't forget her something blue! It's no secret she might shed a few tears on the big day. Instead of sneaking a noticeable package of tissues somewhere, gift her a beautiful handkerchief to use throughout the weekend.

If the happy couple likes to cook, they need this! While we had a basic cheese grater on our registry, someone showed up with this and said it's so much better — and they were right. This thing can grate a whole cup of cheese in seconds, and also works for vegetables like zucchini, squash, and even slice potatoes! We use it on a weekly basis.

Wine Glasses

If she loves to relax with a good glass of wine or make fun cocktails, a nice set of wine glasses is a must! I love this shape from Crate & Barrel, and while this is technically a red wine glass, she can use it for whatever she pleases!

Skinny Engraved Name Ring

Changing your last name can be bittersweet. If she's changing hers, gift her a special ring engraved with her maiden name on it as a symbol of her family! Or, if she's super excited about her new last name, get that engraved on the ring. Either way, she's going to treasure this gift.

This set is stainless steel, with a sleek, rounded design that is sure to be a keepsake. But the best part is you can get their names, monogram, wedding date, or special message etched on to it.

Waterproof Phone Pouch, Set of 2

If she's headed to a tropical location for her bachelorette party or honeymoon, a waterproof phone pouch is a must. Another couple had these on our honeymoon and took the best underwater photos while snorkeling. Pool and beach pics are going to have a fun upgrade with these.

YETI Tundra 35 Cooler

A durable cooler makes for a super fun and useful gift. Whether the happy couple loves to host, hit the tailgate, go camping, or what have you, a cooler is a must. This bestseller from Yeti can carry up to 20 cans with a recommended 2:1 ice-to-contents ratio. And although it's pretty big, it's still portable enough for one person to carry.

Bride Sweatshirt

Give her something to cozy up in. This bride sweatshirt is subtle, but super cute. Other brides love how soft and comfortable it is, many of them getting one for bachelorette trips. I love the look of this black one for the brides who love to wear darker colors, but of course there's a classic white one as well.
