Now that the summer issue is out, I can finally post the behind the scenes photos from our registry story. I've been waiting to share them with you since February. Hope you like them! And don't forget to check out our online registry center for even more great ideas!
1 Here is a portion of a table of floral patterned plates.
2 We went for the gold! These are the "hungry bowls" from Clio-Home. We loved the super glossy interiors.
3 Here's a portion of the metallic dinnerware we had on hand.
4 This is the "gold aves" pattern from Royal Crown Derby. It's actually trimmed in 22K gold.
5 This is one of my favorites. I think it has a bit of a magical feeling to it. It's the "feux d'or" by royal limoges, which is available at Michael C. Fina.
6 This Pickard design by Kelly Wearstler reminds me of falling confetti. It made me want to celebrate.
7 Some Mikasa Color Studio plates in orange, navy, blue, brown, and grey. We loved the geometric pattern.
8 The smaller pattern is the new "black diamond" pattern from Royal Limoges. And the larger stripe is the "stripes" plate from Jonathan Adler.
9 So many good colors on one plate! Well two, actually. The larger, striped one is by Missoni and it's called "tropical". The smaller one in the middle is called "provo prima" and it's by Richard Ginori.
10 These are by Legle. The company offers so many colors, it's amazing!
11 This is the "kyoto" by L'Objet dessert plate. We liked its interesting shape.
12 Here are some of our whites and patternless plates.
13 On registry stories we usually have enough boxes to build a fort if we wanted to. Here they are all tucked under the tables.
14 Here's a plate by Match. It's pewter rim adds a really nice weight to the plate and an interesting take on the metallic border.
15 This is Callie, who helped us pull this story together. She has great taste and brought a lot of great ideas to this registry piece. When she's not working with us, she's running her interior design business, called Scout Designs.
16 That's Callie again on the right, arranging the shot. And our awesome intern Stephanie helping her. We used lucite cubes under some of the plates to give some dimension to the shot.

The items on your registry are FABULOUS!! I love all of the bold patterns and metallics! I am about to start my registry for my wedding next April…and this gave me some great ideas. Question for you: where is your favorite place to register? My best friend used MyRegistry.com for her wedding last year, and I liked that all of her items were listed on one registry even though they were from a lot of different stores. I’m probably going to be in the same boat as her, so I wanted to get some more suggestions before I start mine.

thanks adrianna! so glad you liked our latest registry story and that you got some good ideas for your own.
we definitely have lots of favorites, as i'm sure you can tell by the number of places we list in this story. myregistry.com is great because it lets you list items from all over in one central location. aside from the big stores (macy's, bloomingdales, crate & barrel, michael c. fina, williams sonoma, pottery barn, jc penney, bed bath & beyond), you might want to check out places like fishs eddy, heath ceramics, tableart, tabulatua, lekker home, fitzsu society, the conran shop, abc home, cb2, west elm, sur la table, and restoration hardware.
have a fun time putting your registry together!

I am registered at Bloomingdales and MyRegistry.com but I am loving the bright splash of color plates in the first image (center of photo). Do you know where they are from and what their sku number is? Thanks so much!

sure tori, those floral plates are from anthropologie.
they're called the Verdant Acres Dinnerware, and the sku is 973001. enjoy!
