My smile gets a little wider any time we get to share some special tropical inspo, especially when it comes with an unexpected twist. Using lighter blush-tone pinks with lots of greenery in a warehouse-loft setting helped to balance a variety of styles. While the Pacific Northwest may be known for darker hues and natural rocky beauty, this team of vendors chose to inject some serious fun, color, and tropical influence for a look that leaves us totally inspired.
Photographer Kat Willson effortlessly balances this tropical theme with the deeper, dramatic hues of this warehouse venue in her artistic photography. Read more
Ahh few places come close to rivaling the stunning beaches of Australia. The inspiration today comes from Tweed River Ancora’s white walls, painted brick, and marble bar make it the perfect blank slate for a custom, modern affair. Natural components, such as woven basket lights, help bring the beachy breeze indoors. If contemporary and stylish beach weddings are your thing, this one is a can’t miss!
Well, we’ve just come up from the Crate and Barrel rabbit hole of wedding registry awesomeness. A household name for years, they just keep pushing the envelope when it comes to innovative houseware + visually striking furniture that hits our “Must-Have-This-Now!” sense tingling every time. We’ve divvied up a few of our favorite Crate and Barrel essentials by personality types + styles, so prepare to enter the wonderful world of wedding registries and get your bookmark button ready!
You may be thinking to yourself, “shopping for wedding registries will be so overwhelming.” But the plain truth of the matter is that it doesn’t have to be. It’s 2018, and modern homeware brands like Crate and Barrel have set the bar too high to ignore. We noticed when they connected with top designers + local artisans to build a curated collection of goods. We did a double take when they extended a 10% discount to couples using a Crate and Barrel registry to use on their site and in stores for 6 months after their wedding date (*restrictions may apply). And we stopped in our tracks when they optimized the registry experience with features like their comprehensive app and Thank You Manager tool to keep track of who gifts you what.
As if that’s not enough, they’re dishing up a whole host of exclusive new benefits for couples who register with Crate and Barrel (*restrictions may apply). Including:
Potential for bonus gifts from the best of the best (we know what you’re thinking, and yes, Le Creuset is on that list!)
$15 off a single tux rental at The Black Tux
15% off wedding invites from Paper Source
10% off a romantic 3+day stay at Couples Resort Jamaica
Woah. We’re always attentive to gifts that keep on giving. Who isn’t?! What we love about these products we’ve rounded up are just how diverse they are. It was quite a challenge to assign them to a single style because it only requires a tweak of combinations to give a home or interior a different vibe. From the art deco style fan to the copper beverage tub to the contemporary elevated terrariums, details like these have style (and function!) written all over them.
By now you’ve glimpsed the usefulness and beauty of all the intentionally gathered finds in Crate and Barrel‘s wedding registry. They’ve got cooking, comfort, organization, storage and not to mention interior design covered. And if there’s anything you want to “go big with” on your registry – say, a coffee table that can’t be beat for your cozy meets chic living room – your wedding guests have the option for group gifting, making these big ticket items even more giftable.
Yep, we had a feeling you’re itching to explore more. You can create your wedding registry account online or visit one of their private registry events at the store neighboring you to see the items in person, scan away using their app, mingle + nosh with a registry expert for advice over refreshments, and receive a special take-home treat for coming out to play. But we think the best part just might be the weekly and monthly giveaway drawings you’re automatically entered into for some pretty wonderful prizes.
You know what they say… “Happy guest, happy nest!” Okay fine, we coined that. But it’s totally true that if your guests are having an easy, convenient time with your registry, the better off you’ll be in the end. And the more peace of mind you’ll have with writing thank you notes, using that complimentary guest management tool to keep track of all the goodies and where they came from.
