Our Favorite Registry Items This Fall
When it comes to registry items, you want to ask for things that
align with who you and your spouse are as a couple. Since it’s 2019,
sites like Zola and Amazon Wedding are getting more and more creative
with the types of gifts you and your spouse can request. Only add items
to your registry that you and your spouse plan on using wholly and fully
for the long term. After all, you are committing to a person to love
forever, you should commit to gifts that will create wonderful and
beautiful experiences that make for a life well-lived, and products that
make your house a home. Here are some modern and high-quality registry
items you will want to put on your list this fall:

As
much as we love all things classic, nothing gets us going quite like a
fashion-forward bride who’s ready to treat the runway like her own
personal catwalk. But with photos and footage that will last a lifetime,
how do you strike that balance between on-trend chic and classically
timeless? Not to worry, engaged fashionistas—we’ve rounded up some of
our favorite bridal gown tips and trends for the fearless, but timeless, bride below.
Capes & Waist Coats
There’s
no more strategic way to chic up a classic look than with a waistcoat
or cape. They allow you to add something a little edgy to a classic,
streamlined gown—and the best part is you can have it both way for
photos, with and without the added playfulness. We’re obsessed with Bo & Luca’s Austin waistcoat—tiny beads of golden fringe take a gown from simple and classic to let’s-party-all-night-long in a millisecond (throw it over Unbridaled by Dan Jones’ stunningly simple Farrah Gown).
One
place a fearless bride can have some serious fun is in the detailing on
her gown. When it’s done right, wild, one-of-a-kind detailing on a gown
adds some edge to otherwise classic silhouettes—it’s all about opting
for the right designer. We love what A La Robe is doing with netted lace lately, and Bo & Luca
is also another one of our all-time favorite designers when it comes to
nailing unique detailing on their gowns. We’re obsessed with Bo & Luca’s Dalton Gown—it’s
covered in hand-sewn gold detailing that both your old-fashioned
grandma and your edgiest fashion-forward friends are sure to go weak in
the knees over. We’re also swooning over the detailing on their long-sleeved Manhattan gown and the vintage-inspired beaded tassel fringe on their Dakota gown.
Go Geometric
We
so often see floral-inspired lace and soft lines in bridal gowns, while
straight lines and sharp corners are much more rare. For brides looking
to rock something completely different but still super chic, then, we
love the idea of going geometric with your gown. We can’t get over the
stunning geometric lines on Mariana Hardwick’s Ingrid gown—imagine that beauty at an art gallery or city loft wedding. We’re also in love with Unbridaled by Dan Jones’ Mill Gown—the
top, which is made to resemble Rajasthani lattice work, is made from
claw-set swarovski stones and blown glass tubes (you read that right).
It's hours
before your wedding. You and your bridesmaids are relaxing, sipping on
something bubbly, and out comes a camera. Thankfully, you and your
maid-of-honor have thought through this exact moment! So instead of
donning your gray-tattered Saturday afternoon sweats, you and your
bridal crew are comfortably styled in matching monogrammed outfits.
While getting ready robes are the most popular option, it's fun to get
creative with what your squad’s wedding prep outfits may be.
Tapping
into a sleepover type vibe, matching or monogrammed pajamas are another
popular getting ready outfit option. From frilly rompers to cute
shorts-sets or long pajama shirts, you and your bridesmaids will kick
off your big day in style.
With
matching or monogrammed robes, you and your bride tribe don't have to
worry about getting any of your snacks or makeup on your actual wedding
day wear. Also, these cozy and luxurious garments are something you and
your girls can wrap up in for years to come.
Chilly
in the changing room? Want to stand out from your bridesmaids, but not
too much? Labeled t-shirts or sweaters can be a stylish way for you and
your girls to stand out in your photos—they also clear up any confusion
as to who the main players of this big day are.
Maybe
it's best to leave those tattered gray sweats by the wayside and throw
on a cute zip up hoodie and leggings. The great thing about this comfy
outfit is that you can throw it on and run errands anytime post-wedding
too!
Looking
for something tropical or springtime chic to match the theme of your
destination wedding or abundant floral decor? Dresses or rompers can be a
cute wear for you and your crew to pose for all the photos in. Just
make sure that the outfits are easy to get off so you can easily change
into your elegant wedding wear.
