I want that!

July 24, 2009 in I want that! by Yadira | No comments

One of those traditional things you get to do when you’re getting married is your gift registry. Yup, this is your chance to get rid of whatever is left from your college years–no excuses! So from now on, I will also be sharing with you things I find that I would love to register for if I were to get married tomorrow. Hope you like it. And, if you have something super cool in your registry, please share the love…

My first find are a duvet cover, blankets, and sheets from West Elm.

Real Wedding, Namrita and Roman

Namrita and Roman’s Montecito wedding caught my eyes because of the vibrant colors, use of fresh fruits as part of decoration, and the multi-cultural aspect of it. I love how they were able to combine the pinks, yellows and oranges. Great eye candy!
