Wedding Gift Registry 101

So you have all the details planned for your big day. Have you given much thought to your gift registry?

Registering for gifts can be a daunting task! You and your fiance are given a price gun and set loose to choose the items that will make your house a home.

Here's the problem... you LOVE the dishes from Bed Bath & Beyond. You can't live without the towels from Kohl's. The pots and pans of you dreams come from Williams Sonoma. The vases at Pottery Barn belong in your living room, but the bookends at Sears will complete your home office.

We don't shop in one store for everything in our homes, so why should we feel pressured to register at just one or two stores??

We found a solution!



We are in love with this amazing website that is appropriately named AmazingRegistry.com.  You can create a single registry at this website from tons of different stores! You give your guests one website, for instance www.AmazingRegistry.com/YourName, and your guests can get you exactly what you need!

Stores included in AmazingRegistry.com:
Crate & Barrel
Amazon
Target
Wal-Mart
Bed Bath & Beyond
Kohl's

With This Ring... | Wedding Jewelry Trends 2011 | Daytona Beach Wedding Planner

There is nothing as simply beautiful as a perfect circle.

The true absence of a beginning or an end, to me, is the ultimate way to describe true love.  Wedding rings are a timeless symbol of love and fidelity, but not all rings are created equal- use yours as a way to express your own personal style.  After all, just like true love, your rings will last a lifetime!

Some trends to expect in 2011...

Framing Your Stone in Tiny Diamonds

Having your main stone surrounded in smaller diamonds gives your ring the illusion of a larger center stone, and definitely gives your ring added sparkle, brilliance and wow-factor!

Colored Stones

Using a colored center stone is a  trend that has been magnified by Price William's recent proposal to Kate Middleton with a  blue sapphire surrounded by diamonds.  Using gemstones like rubies, emeralds, sapphires, or colored diamonds surrounded by smaller diamonds is a trend perfect for nontraditional couples, or those who wish to use a family heirloom on their wedding day.



Vintage-Inspired

Vintage rings, specifically styles designed between 1930-1950, have been leading the wedding trends for the past decade.  Deeply embellished bands, intricate settings, and unique diamond cuts give these bridal sets a true sense of timeless style.


Whether you choose a timeless classic or a modern trend, just remember -- it's not the size of your diamond or the precious metal that makes your wedding rings valuable -- it's the promise of eternal love, friendship, and fidelity with your one and only.

Color Inspiration: Chocolate, Cream & Lavender | 2011 Wedding Colors | Daytona Beach Wedding Planner

We like to believe that there are no rules when it comes to planning your big day... especially when it comes to color.  Many couples worry if certain color combos are "spring enough" or "summery enough"... we say anything goes! If you are looking for a soft, romantic feel for your wedding day... these colors are a great place to start.  Chocolate, Cream and Lavender make for the perfect palette of romance and femininity. Whether you envision a modern event or a timeless traditional setting, this color combo will set the perfect tone for your wedding day.
