EMILY + JONATHAN | WHITE SPARROW BARN

Yay! It's #MarriedFaceMonday! We are so excited to share Emily + Jonathan's New Year's Day wedding with you today!

These two tied the knot at one of our favorite venues ever, The White Sparrow Barn! Emily wanted a simple, romantic event with lots of classic winter touches. For the ceremony, we created an altar to frame the couple with fresh garlands and wreaths of evergreens.

We used pops of cranberry red, blush, and grey in bouquets and centerpieces to capture that winter aesthetic without going into the traditional Christmas look. Her bouquet is one of my all time faves! So much texture! And the pops of red against the white barn and gray bridesmaid dresses really created the perfect winter wedding!

MEGHAN + MORGAN | HICKORY STREET ANNEX

Yay! It's #MarriedFaceMonday!

Today we're sharing the gorgeous, industrial winter wedding of Meghan + Morgan!

These two made it official in late January of this year. The weather was crisp and perfect and every detail reflected so much love. We had so much fun working with the couple to create simple but striking florals to compliment their own style!

There's so much pretty here, but if we had to pick a favorite moment it'd be Meghan's gorgeous dress from a&be bridal shop here in Dallas. Those long sleeves and illusion panels! So stunning!

TIPS | WEDDING REGISTRY

Creating the wedding registry seems like the best part of the wedding planning process - that and the food + cake tastings, but it can also be overwhelming if you don’t prepare in advance. Today, we are sharing 5 tips to enjoy creating your wedding registry.

1. Use a checklist. You can either download lists available online or you can create your own. Remember to only register for items you really need. Just because the list you downloaded included an ice cream maker, doesn’t mean you really need one. Having a registry checklist will help you keep track of your items in case you register at more than one store.

2. Give yourselves enough time. It can take a few hours to roam the entire store registering for items you need, especially if you two are getting a new place together and starting from scratch. You may spend several minutes discussing what color the bath towels should be and whether or not you really need a place setting for 10. Trying to do a whole registry in one day can be really exhausting so try breaking it into departments – kitchen, bedding, bath, etc.

3. Register for items in a variety of price points. Although it would be nice to have extremely fancy glassware, not everyone on your guest list will be able to afford luxury brands. You want to make sure your guests have a variety of different price ranges of items to choose from.

4. Register at 2-3 different stores. Yes, Bed Bath and Beyond is where everyone goes for their wedding registry, but there are also several different stores that offer nice perks to complete a registry. This also allows your guests to choose a store that is closest to them. Don’t forget to ask what their return policy is because I can guarantee you will receive more than 3 cutting boards.

5. Update your registry. Ensure that your registry is up-to-date. Depending on how far in advance you start the registry, some items may be discontinued or some are already purchased by guests. Maintaining your wedding registry also helps prevent receiving duplicate items.

Hopefully these tips help you have fun scanning your little hearts out. We’d love to hear what your favorite tips are to create a stress-free wedding registry!
