Wrap It Up Pretty!

You know we like to wrap up the week in the biggest of ways here on SMP, so when the oh-so-fabulous team at Newlywish offered to liven up our Friday evening with some gorgeous tabletop inspiration, we literally jumped at the chance.  What's better than an evening spent with the gurus of all things dinnerware - and a sweet lesson in how to create a personalized collection for your registry?  Yep, Newlywish is here to assist you in finding just the right style that will truly express your personality - and whether you choose from one of their exclusive collections or mix and match yourself, there's something amazing for you at Newlywish.

Newlywish's exclusive collections were styled by a group of renowned wedding industry tastemakers (including our very own Abby Larson!) and are available to purchase, add directly to your registry or serve as gorgeous inspiration for you to build your own, totally unique collection.  Trust us, one look at these stellar settings and you'll be over the moon.

Totally obsessed?  Yep, us, too.  And, if you can believe it, it's about to get even more exciting.  To help you express your style through your dinnerware, NewlyWish is giving one lucky winner a $4,500 shopping spree toward chic china and crystal from Waterford Wedgwood on NewlyWish.com.
