~Registry Lust: Kate Spade China~

Wedding Registry.

One of the many exciting things you and your groom will do together for your wedding . . . and stress free (usually).

Make a date of it

. . . go get coffee and a treat, OR go grab a glass of champagne or happy hour and then set out shopping and scanning your new life together!

This is a good test of compromising and agreeing!

Enjoy it, and don't take it too seriously where it effects your mood . . .

because guess what?!

You can always change it online after:-)

~Save the Date Trends~

A few noteworthy trends for

 Save the Dates:

~1~

Back to the classics

Letterpress

We've been seeing more and more back to the elegant classic Letterpress . . .

Believe it or not letterpress invitations are extremely popular these days. Over the course of the last ten years the interest in engraved invitations has waned and the popularity of letterpress printed invitations began to take hold. Why? Partially because of the influence of Martha Stewart and her wedding magazine, Martha Stewart Weddings. The magazine routinely featured letterpress wedding invitations by hot new designers who were eager to hop on this trend.

What a personalized way to show your friends and family the love you two share . . . recorded! (AND save on paper: how eco-friendly!)

How fun!:

"Eco- Friendly Papers

Eco-chic is cool, not to mention it fits perfectly with the "Anthropologie-esque" wedding craze. The wide range of available eco-friendly papers makes having wedding invitations that are lovely AND earth friendly easier than ever before. As always, our standard printing paper 100% cotton that is made from the by products of textile mills in a wind powered factory, but the options don't stop there"

Suuuper cute, and functional!

The AMAZING wall in this pic! Seriously!

Talk about trendy geometric patterns . . . bringing interior design style into a wedding, love!

All the dresses are adorable! Love the champagne color. 

So fun and colorful . . . This beats bubbles and rice any day!

More geometric patterns . . . and how retro is the groomsmen pic?!

What a fun location.

Love the color combos, and the flowers are stunning.

Lovely!
