Their wedding registry offers a thoughtful mix of timeless and practical pieces, from fine china and barware to kitchen favorites that make a house feel like home. And when it comes to wedding stationery, couples know they can count on Bering\u2019s for beautifully crafted invitations and personalized details that set the tone for their celebration.<\/p>\n<p>Eighty-five years later, Bering\u2019s continues to be more than a store. It is a Houston institution built on family, craftsmanship, and care. Here\u2019s to celebrating 85 years of history, tradition, and love stories that begin at Bering\u2019s, and to many more years ahead.<\/p>\n<p>Scroll on for a peek at Bering\u2019s early days and a few favorite throwbacks.<\/p>\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"660\" height=\"483\" src=\"https:\/\/www.weddingsinhouston.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Berings-Historic-Photo-2.png\" alt=\"A historic photo of a group of men standing in fornt of plaques of wood. \" class=\"wp-image-55139\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.weddingsinhouston.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Berings-Historic-Photo-2.png 660w, https:\/\/www.weddingsinhouston.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Berings-Historic-Photo-2-300x220.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 660px) 100vw, 660px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"660\" height=\"873\" src=\"https:\/\/www.weddingsinhouston.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Berings-Historic-Photo-3.png\" alt=\"A newspaper clipping of a Bering's ad. \" class=\"wp-image-55140\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.weddingsinhouston.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Berings-Historic-Photo-3.png 660w, https:\/\/www.weddingsinhouston.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Berings-Historic-Photo-3-227x300.png 227w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 660px) 100vw, 660px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"660\" height=\"422\" src=\"https:\/\/www.weddingsinhouston.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Berings-Historic-Photo-5.png\" alt=\"A historic photo of a group of people standing inside Bering's. \" class=\"wp-image-55142\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.weddingsinhouston.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Berings-Historic-Photo-5.png 660w, https:\/\/www.weddingsinhouston.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Berings-Historic-Photo-5-300x192.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 660px) 100vw, 660px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"660\" height=\"664\" src=\"https:\/\/www.weddingsinhouston.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Berings-Historic-Photo-4.png\" alt=\"A historic photo of two men sitting on the couch. \" class=\"wp-image-55141\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.weddingsinhouston.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Berings-Historic-Photo-4.png 660w, https:\/\/www.weddingsinhouston.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Berings-Historic-Photo-4-298x300.png 298w, https:\/\/www.weddingsinhouston.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Berings-Historic-Photo-4-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/www.weddingsinhouston.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Berings-Historic-Photo-4-32x32.png 32w, https:\/\/www.weddingsinhouston.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Berings-Historic-Photo-4-50x50.png 50w, https:\/\/www.weddingsinhouston.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Berings-Historic-Photo-4-64x64.png 64w, https:\/\/www.weddingsinhouston.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Berings-Historic-Photo-4-96x96.png 96w, https:\/\/www.weddingsinhouston.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Berings-Historic-Photo-4-128x128.png 128w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 660px) 100vw, 660px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n<h4>&#8220;Bering&#8217;s Celebrates 85 Years as a Houston Institution&#8221; Spotlight WiH Partner- <a href=\"https:\/\/www.weddingsinhouston.com\/vendor\/berings\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Bering&#8217;s<\/a><\/h4>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Today we\u2019re celebrating 85 years of Bering\u2019s, a true Houston favorite and family-owned gem that has been part of the city\u2019s story since 1940.
