save the date ideas
Save the dates can be so much fun. Because they deliver just a little bit of information, as opposed to a wedding invitation, which has much more responsibility, you have the freedom to be just as creative as you want to be! The image above isn’t meant to be a save the date, but it could be — such a sweet + simple design. Below is a design by Cheree Berry. And, beneath it, two from the new Martha Stewart Weddings, which is full of fun save the date ideas.
registry style: whiteware
White dishes are to your pantry what the little black dress is to your closet. Don’t get me wrong, I bow at the altar of my china, but white dishes are the everyday, every dinner, every party workhorse. With a new napkin color, a new linen or different flatware, I have an entirely new table. It’s kind of like having neutral walls (big fan, by the way) – with little expense you can give a room (or table) new life with different accessories.

The brilliance of whiteware is that you can mix and match. Here are a few patterns that would be good starters for a collection…
Macy’s: scalloped edge, montmartre & kensington, all by Martha Stewart; antique whiteware by Mikasa; country heritage by Villeroy & Boch
Pottery Barn’s Great White
Queen Anne at Williams Sonoma
Match Pewter and Juliska’s “berry & thread” at Michael C. Fina. Both are also available locally for registry at Fraiche.
Anthropologie: paper pretender
Crate & Barrel: century (originally designed by Eva Zeisel)
