For those of you currently adding items to your wedding gift registries, here are some tips and insight as to why registering for items that you can get use out of on your wedding day (ie. cocktail hour serving pieces, reception decor) and can also be enjoyed in your future home can be more beneficial to you in the long run...
Often times you will end up receiving many of your wedding gifts prior to your actual big day and if you register for items used for entertaining, it could be a great DIY money saver to you if some of the items used on your big day happen to be gifted from your guests (and of course they'll be thrilled to see you getting great use out of the gift they purchased for you with love).
Items such as Beverage Servers, Beverage Ice Tubs, Cake Plates, Serving Platters, Glass Vases, and Decorative Candle Holders are just a few items that can be used during your Wedding Reception and enjoyed while entertaining in your home post-wedding.
Always remember to have fun while registering and be sure to select items with a variety of price ranges to give guests options! Enjoy~

I had the honor of throwing my mom a surprise 50th party, along with the help of some amazing friends and family {my mom is a Valentine baby}! Here are some of the detail photos from the amazing event. The decor was in pinks, whites, and silvers, with hints of feathers and bling. The harbor view was a perfect compliment to the early evening party, pink champagne and lava watermelon martini's (they were smoky with dry ice affect that was so fun), a risotto bar, and a red carpet entrance to boot, so happy it was a hit! Enjoy the photos from the fun filled event~
