One of the best parts of my job (yes, I know there are many!) is meeting all of the fabulous vendors and behind the scenes wedding experts in the industry. A little while ago, I got to meet Kate Harrison, the founder of the Green Bride Guide, a site full of eco-friendly wedding ideas, products and services. Let me tell you something – this is one of those times when I thought, why didn’t I think of this idea – its genius!
The Green Bride Guide registry provides detailed information about each product, including how it is made, where it is made, and what materials were used in its production. With this information at your fingertips, you can make an informed decision so that the products you want are truly eco-friendly.

I know we often talk about what’s happening around town. I want to keep you in the loop on bridal events, trunk shows, special parties for brides-to-be, basically anything that is fun to attend during this great time of being engaged.
Remember the “Pre-Wedding” Wedding Party, sponsored by The Registry at Bloomingdale’s and GetMarried, that I was raving about? Well, MK McKenna, a very talented local photographer, shared these great photos with me — and I couldn’t wait to show you. Danielle and I had a blast meeting new brides and hearing about all of your fun wedding plans.
DeAnna Pappas, host of GetMarried TV (and former leading lady on “The Bachelorette”), hosted this ridiculously fun event. Brides competed to set a formal dining room table — something that is much harder than it seems!
A BIG thanks to the crew at Bloomingdale’s for inviting District Weddings to participate in this great event. We had a blast!
If I’ve said it once, I’ve said it a million times… If you haven’t yet registered and are planning to, you MUST, MUST, MUST make an appointment with Molly at Bloomingdale’s. It will be the BEST registering experience you will ever have. Period.

LOVE this idea! I wish I had known about this two months ago when we set up our registries!
In case you are just joining District Weddings for the first time, Sarah Christine is our Bride Blogger. She works in New York, but is planning an October D.C. wedding. She pops in every week or so to update us on her wedding plans.
From Sarah…
Have you dealt with the “how many places are too many places to register” conflict? There are just so many great stores and products to put on your registry, how to you contain yourself?
Etiquette states you shouldn’t register at more than three places. While three is a lot to choose from, each bride is different and may not succumb to the Crate and Barrel/ Pottery Barn/ Tiffany’s/ Bed, Bath and Beyond type.
Brides, have no fear, you know longer have to! Express the true style of you and your fiancée on your registry by using Myregistry.com.
Myregistry.com allows brides to add items from literally any store in the world regardless of whether it is an online store or your favorite around-the-corner boutique.
While you’ll be registering from multiple stores, it looks much neater when housed under one roof.
You can also add non traditional wedding gifts to your registry, such as airplane tickets, dinner at your favorite restaurant, or create a complete online Honeymoon Registry if you would like.
Sign on and take a tour to see everything they have to offer — it’s worth looking into their Cash Gift Service! You’ll only get to register for your wedding once. Instead of making it a chore, have fun and let your style shine!
