Registry Suggestions

Deciding to register for the big day is not only exciting for the bride and groom but also the guest list as well. Registering for special items helps guests know exactly which gifts to choose, making the selection as simple as possible. The most popular items on registries include glassware, bed linens, cookware, and everyday home necessities. Here are 5 suggestions that might help steer away from the common items to choose from and add even more excitement to your big day.

Registry Suggestions

1- www.simpleregistry.com 
this website lets you choose anything and everything
and makes it easy for guests to shop in the comfort of their
own home rather than heading to the store

2- A Personal Cookbook
put together by the guest showing off their favorite
 recipes to go along with the 400 cookware items that
 you might have already put on your registry

3- www.honeyfund.com
allows guests to contribute to fun under the sun
 all the way to the honeymoon including excursions or
 dinner dates while on the vacation

4- Donation to a Charitable Fund
in honor of your new marriage

5- www.cardavenue.com
is a way for guests to purchase giftcards that do not expire giving
 the bride and groom extra time to decide on what they might need

Julia and Dan

Last weekend The Grand Ballroom had the lovely pleasure of hosting Julia and Dan share their big day. With hints of pink and green floral arrangements, the room lit up compliments of Dogwood Tree Floral Designs. The ivory linens and navy napkins that complimented these vibrant colors were provided by CE Rental.  

After the guests arrived, they enjoyed a delicious cocktail hour followed by a buffet style dinner prepared by Caffé Luna. Dinner included a creamy pasta, shrimp cocktail, fresh fruit, various fine meat choices, and even small dessert options such as homemade cream puffs.

Thanks to Levi of Anything DJ's guests were able to dance the night away and enjoy the views of the light fixtures over downtown Raleigh. While the bride and groom shared their first dance, Glee and Bliss Photography made sure to capture the special moment along with all of the other contagious smiles the entire night.

Once the speeches were made and dinner was enjoyed, everyone grabbed a slice of chocolate Sugarland wedding cake with details of pink roses made of buttercream icing.
