Hadley  and Dale

September 24

Quincy, Washington

Hadley and Dale were married this fall at one of Washington’s most exquisite wineries, Cave B Estate and Winery in the Colombia River Valley of Quincy, Washington. With hints of summer still lingering in the cool Washington air, the couple settled on a bright color palette of reds, turquoise and lime greens, to hang onto the last bits of summer and so they could remember that exact feel of the air, forever. When using the stunning Washington mountains as décor, little else is needed, however the outdoorsy couple wanted to bring every element of their beloved state to the inside reception as well, and used succulents and mosses as centerpieces, and created a custom wedding cake with a woodsy feel, donned with a birdsnest, complete with a pair of lovebirds. The bridesmaids wore floor length red flowy dresses, accented with hints of turquoise and paired next to elegantly colorful groomsmen. No ceremony at a vineyard is complete without a salut to the winery, and Dale and Hadley’s wedding was just that, with a toast of Cave B’s very own before their first kiss as a married couple The guests then celebrated into the night under the crisp Washington sky, feeling like summer and this special night would never end. - Clane, Clane Gessel Photography

We are always improving our site to ensure that planning is made simple for you. We just launched a redesign of our Registry section that makes it easier than ever to create each of your wedding registries and add them seamlessly to your wedding website on WeddingWire.com!

We know a wedding registry is not just about gifts for the home anymore, so we’ve added tabs for Honeymoon, Cash, and “Green” registry options.

And, if the retailer or site you are using isn’t listed, you can add it!

Ready to get organized with your registries?

I am always looking for accessories for our home and decided to check out Kate Spade’s website over the weekend. Wedding guests take note: KateSpade.com = great wedding gifts! I really like the Pompano Point Double Invitation Frame for showcasing your wedding invitation along with a photo from the big day. I have a wedding to attend in August…..looks like I found their gift!

Green Weddings are becoming more and more popular lately.  Why not extend the eco-friendly mindset to your gift registry?  Branch is one of many online retailers providing “sustainable design for living.”  Now, you won’t feel as guilty accepting the many, many gifts!

In the face of a slowing economy, especially on the housing side, the Bridal Party Blog asks an interesting question as the National Hardware Show is boasting that more couples today are registering for more practical gifts such as home improvement gifts.  For instance, Home Depot is in the registry market with a bridal registry of their own.

So I’m curious, are you or people you know really branching out and registering at places like Home Depot?
