We are so excited to be offering gift and wedding registry items to our store! Here is a easy way to look at our brides items online and pick something out. We currently do not have a credit card system set up with this site so when you place your order we will have to call you and get your credit card information over the phone. From there we will let the bride know you have left a gift or make sure it gets to a certain shower date that you specify.
