Wedding Wednesday: The Registry

I had to get my life together the last few weeks and get some wedding stuff done.  The florist has been paid in full, I finally got my last few Save the Date cards out, an address list out to my sister for our Friday night event pre-wedding, set a shower date, and I started our registry.  First -- let me say how much I love the age of the internet.  I set up a Macy's registry and linked it with the My Registry website without even getting up from the kitchen table. Amazing.  I think that it made it enjoyable.   I did decide to go with the "My Registry" website because I could pick and choose from a lot of different places and they all go to one main registry.  I like that a lot better than trying to find EVERYTHING at two stores.  

As far as the registry goes -- does anyone have any suggestions/things the wish they had registered for but they didn't? I am wanting to put some small home decor items on my list, fine china, and don't need a ton of kitchen/bar/glasses.  But then again maybe we should replace some things.  I'm just trying to really streamline this into stuff we really need and also want.  

I was agonizing over a china pattern for what seemed like forever but finally settled on Kate Spade Parker Place.  I really am into black and white and think it will allow me to just change out some salad and app plates later on if I feel bored with it or need a change. It's really hard to see in the pic but the accent color is mint for this set.    



We also made a cash fund because Matt cannot stop talking about wanting a Big Green Egg for the back yard to grill with.  

Even though our event is small it's exciting to think that people love you enough to get you a few nice things for the house.

Wedding Wednesday

I feel like after a month at the new job and coming up on our 6 month marker in June I should really get on top of some wedding items.  As small as our celebration is I am trying not to get behind on anything.  Again -- prior brides how did you do it all? 

Last weekend I finally reached out to a local florist recommended by a friend of mine that used her for her wedding.  I love how people are now requesting some Pinterest images for your inspiration. It's SO much easier for me to send a picture for an idea of what I want to visually guide her.  And then tell her to try to do a more cost effective version if she can.  I've been pleasantly surprised at all the winter wedding inspiration I have found -- even though I am hoping for one of those December days in the 60's...

As far as registering...we need to be thinking of that. I think I'm going to do that new-fangled online registry where you can link up a ton of stores so that I can have a more eccelctic and gathered collection of home items.  Have any of you used My Registry





As far as a honeymoon -- that's going to happen way later since we are paying for our own wedding. However, since we will be off to Scotland to celebrate with 3 Putt's family just after Christmas we will be taking about two days for ourselves and staying in London before heading up.   If any of you have any recommendations for the quickest trip ever please send them over! 

Love you. Mean it.
