One of the most fun aspects of wedding planning is creating your registry! And if you’re anything like me, kitchen items are always at the top of your gift wish list. Take it from someone who’s been married for (ahem…) we’ll just say a while, your kitchenware is somewhere not to skimp, as great kitchen appliances, gadgets, and instruments are built to last! So what’s the most important when figuring out which items to add to your registry? Choosing trusted brands, selecting items that will serve multiple purposes, and matching the finishes and colors of your appliances to the overall feel of your kitchen! For me, this means making sure that all of my appliances are stainless and white. This way, everything goes together and looks fab on my counter! I’ve been on the hunt for a new blender for a while, as my previous blender didn’t have a glass jug, so imagine my delight when I discovered the new silver and white Braun PureMix Power Blender at Bed Bath and Beyond! Featuring a modern glossy white and stainless design, the new Braun PureMix Power Blender is the first Braun appliance in the US with a white finish. White is super on-trend right now and the stainless accents are sleek and classic.

Taylor and Adam’s wedding is incredible from start to finish! The couple had a shared vision for their wedding: traditional romance shared with as many loved ones as possible, so they made the wonderful decision to incorporate friends and family into all aspects of their day. The historical First Universalist Unitarian Church in Wausau—the same church Taylor’s parents were married in 25 years prior—hosted their ceremony, which was officiated by a close friend. Guests then traveled to Taylor’s childhood home (also her mother’s childhood home!) for a spectacular reception set under three different tents festooned with string lights and decorated with gorgeous florals in crimson, pink, and white created by Evolutions in Design. The love simply radiates from this joyful couple (and their adorable pup!) and we are absolutely head over heels for each image captured on film by The McCartneys Photography!

Danielle and Patrick have friends and family all over the country, so they decided to marry in one of their favorite places, Sarasota, Florida, and make it a full weekend celebration for their guests! Sarasota and its beaches have a long history in Danielle’s family and she grew up visiting the Ringling Museum, so it was a dream setting for their celebration! NK Productions took the couple’s vision of a clean, romantic aesthetic with a pastel color palette of blues, pinks, and whites and brought it to life with chic modern touches. Botanica designed a stunning chuppah for their blended ceremony (Danielle is Jewish, Patrick Presbyterian), and worked with the NK Productions team to style a sophisticated reception with modern touches such as acrylics and a sea of candles for the reception. They say rain on your wedding day is good luck, and the best laid plans of a courtyard reception were quickly switched for plan B, a ceremony and reception setup on the dramatic loges overlooking the museum. This made for an intimate event that Danielle says “ultimately made for an even more memorable experience!” This elegant and timeless event is one for the books, beautifully captured by Hunter Ryan Photo!
