While most of the wedding planning process is revolved around making every detail of your big day perfect, your wedding registry is about all the days spent together after you’ve said “I do.” The same way you want your wedding day to be quintessentially you, the pieces you choose for your home should emulate who you are.

Creating your first home is the first step in building your new life together. Pottery Barn’s Wedding + Gift Registry provides everything you need for your home, from the glasses to the pillows to the rugs you’ll use in your every day life, to those exceedingly precious gifts you will save for special occasions. Registering with Pottery Barn is about more than choosing wedding gifts; it’s about selecting the bowls you’ll eat cereal from on the weekends, the blankets you’ll snuggle up with on the couch, and accessories that my your first home your own.

If the fastest way to your heart is through your stomach, then the most important room in your house is the dining room. Whether you’re having the family over for dinner for the first time or sharing a homemade meal between the two of you, your dining set should feel like your own.

Your home is so much more than where you wake up and the place you come home to after work. Home is where you read in a cozy chair on a rainy day, invite friends over for drinks, marathon that new show everyone has been talking about, and make plans for the rest of your life together. The pieces you fill your space with should be pieces you find both beautiful and useful.

Timeless and Romantic Coworth Park Wedding

August 3, 2015 | Junebug Weddings

Timeless-Romantic-Coworth-Park-Wedding-Claire-Penn-Photography (24 of 36)

A meadow ceremony is just about the most romantic thing we can imagine, and these exceptionally lovely images from Claire Penn Photography perfectly capture the spirit of Sally and Scot’s sweet wedding in Coworth Park. The intimate English countryside wedding included thoughtfully handcrafted DIY elements to add a few personal touches to the already stunning venue.

The Couple:

Sally and Scot

The Wedding:

Coworth Park, Ascot, England

The Inspiration:

Scot and I are a pretty laid back, fun-loving couple, so we did our best to make our wedding reflect this side of us. Scot and I are very lucky in life and even though we did not want anything too over-the top, it was a big priority for us to give our close family the most memorable weekend that many of them would never be able experience. The venue was a very easy choice for us, we fell instantly in love with every single inch of the hotel, the timeless romance of the English countryside and the meadow which provided breathtaking backdrop for our ceremony. Our wedding was inspired completely by Coworth Park, the romance, the elegance, the flowers and the relaxed nature of the weekend.

My dress was a more complicated decision as I did not know what I wanted but needed it to fit all of the above in particular being elegant but softly romantic to fit our meadow ceremony. I found the perfect dress which, in my eyes, showed everything I wanted and fit beautifully with the inspiration for our day.

The Moments:

Hard to pick just one moment but I simply could not write everything here therefore I will pick another simple moment that meant everything to me.. In Scot’s speech he told our guests how during dinner the night before we were sat together on looking our family all enjoying the evening, we said to each other this is exactly what we wanted, ‘we did it’ and I must admit we even high five’d knowing that our wedding day the next day would be perfect. When our family looked back at us both with love and admiration and I looked up at Scot with the same feeling. this was the most perfect moment for me.

The Couple Recommends:

Claire Penn our beautiful photographer… when the wedding blues have taken full effect after your wedding what have you got left? A wedding dress sadly hidden in the wardrobe, accessories that may be brought out and worn on special occasions and memories. Sadly memories fade which is why in our thoughts a photographer is THE single most important element of your wedding day!

Claire Penn has a beautiful sense of style, all of her photographs tell a story in an elegant but relaxed and quirky way. She was much more than just our photographer, she became part of the family! Without being to obtrusive during our relaxed weekend she captured so many great shots that have made our memories so much more special, shots that without her amazing talent we would never have got to see. From the moment we first chatted and still to this day I feel like we are the only couple on earth Claire is looking after. She really does make the whole experience just perfect!

Vintage Chicago Wedding at Salvage One

August 2, 2015 | Junebug Weddings

Vintage-Chicago-Wedding-at-Salvage-One (31 of 31)

Kathryn and Marcus designed their wedding with minimal decor, which allowed their gorgeous venue to speak for itself. A perfect combination of rustic and industrial attributes, Salvage One‘s unique atmosphere was an amazing venue choice for this sweet, elegant wedding. Light florals and lavender bridesmaid gowns added a soft touch of color to the big day. Talented photographer Oriana Koren expertly captured Kathryn and Marcus’ special moments.

The Couple:

Kathryn and Marcus

The Wedding:

Salvage One, Chicago, Illinois

The Inspiration:

We went for a vintage theme to match the venue. We kept the flowers and additional decor to a minimum because the venue did the work for us. For the bride’s dress, she wanted something classic and elegant that matched the feel of the venue. For the bridesmaids dresses, she wanted something elegant and simple adding unique necklaces to make a statement.

The Moments:

The speeches. We loved hearing what our family and friends had to say about our relationship and their blessings for our future. The best man, Jeremy (Marcus‘ brother) surprised us all. Typically a man of few words, he impressed us with his thoughtfulness and humor.

The Couple Recommends:

Monica from Skinny Piggy who put together the candy bar with us was amazing. It was so easy from start to finish. She can get any candy or sweet that you desire. Her team sets it up, takes it down, and provides the jars.
