Thursday Trend Day | A Wedding Gift that keeps on giving | Anniversary wedding wine box

Hello Lovelies!

So I LOVE this gift! Wish someone gave it to me :\ I'm talking about this cool company called, Wine for a Wedding. No, it is not a wine club or anything like that. It's a unique gift that lets the bride and groom celebrate their special day for years to come with wines designed to be drunk on specific anniversaries. A gift that starts a new tradition at the same time. The custom engraved wooden three-panel box stores the wine perfectly on its side in a dark location and free from dust. And not only is Wine for a Wedding a gift that keeps on giving to the happy couple, it also gives back to the earth, planting a tree for every box ordered!
Cool huh?

The Coolest New Registry website ever! - Newly Wish

I wanted to share this new registry website made just for New York City Brides and grooms called Newly Wish. Not only do they have great registry favorites for your kitchen, bath and decor but they also have a registry for those who want a little something different. I'm talking about their cool "experience" registry where you can register for dance lessons, a wine tasting or even a spa day. How fab is that?! And all your registry info is on one neat and organized site where you can always view and manage it. Love that!
