Wedding Registry Links

Ohh, we must be getting close if I am getting wedding registry questions. Happy to answer that one: Matt and I are registered at Crate and Barrel as well as Bloomindales. If you're of a more original gifting mindset, never underestimate the power of a great bottle of red wine.

We are so excited about spending October 17 with our family, friends and loved ones. The evening is going to be so special: mouthwatering food, an awesome live band, wondering peacocks and maybe even a cornhole tourney.

Our address:

Check out the status on a few of my wedding projects. Can't believe October 17 is only four months away. Wonder how dress design is coming along? Off to email Christian...

Charlottesville Day Trip

This past Saturday Matt and I were joined by Emily, Mom, Grandmom and Aunt Donna in Charlottesville for a round of catering tastings and to visit Ash-Lawn and the Colannade Club. What a wonderful afternoon! I can't wait for October.

Wedding Gown Value UP!

Saks Fifth Avenue announced it has picked up Christian Siriano's Fall 2009 RTW collection (the collection Jenny and I went to see during NYC fashion week last month - ahem;) as part of the retailer's new up and coming designer boutique initiative.

The news speaks volumes for the Christian V. Siriano brand, which, in a retail climate that has left many notable up and coming designers desperate for distribution, was able to score the golden ticket of luxury retail. Hopefully the venture is mutually advantageous; any one who follows fashion is well aware Saks needs the attention.

Mapp Girls Take Manhattan

The first wedding gown fitting with Mr. Christian Siriano has been confirmed for Friday, May 1. What I thought would be a low-key studio fitting/sketch session has evolved into a Mapp Ladies field trip. Good thing Christian brings the drama like my mamas! Hey, he's a short, brunette, mouthy Italian queen. We'll all get along just fine...

Can't wait to see what Grandmom thinks of Ellis Island, wish Birdie could come...
