Since bridal registries are primarily done in the big stores, and Carlinville doesn’t have those, we thought, ‘Why can’t we offer bridal registries right here in Carlinville?’ And so it began… All a bride has to do is come into MSF and tell us she wants to register. A design expert (most likely Sarah!) will grab a camera and walk around the store with her taking pictures of all items the bride would like to put on her registry. Of course, the design expert will be there to answer any questions about the products and to offer design ideas. Once the bride has went through the initial registry, we will then put all the pictures into a document with a short description of the item, the quantity wanted, and the price. We will make a printout of the registry so that any time a customer wants to shop from the registry, they can easily do so. Since we are continually getting in new product, the bride and groom are urged to come in regularly to add items to their registry.
Just in case you are wondering, 'what would I register for at Main Street Florist?', we've got a couple examples for you (we could go on all day)!
ALL items in this pic are perfect 'registry' items: Gorgeous mirror, candlesticks, candles, picture frames, and a silk tabletop arrangement.
Who doesn't want more modern vases in their home?! Such a simple way to bring in contemporary pieces, and depending on what you put in them, can match any home!
We have a fabulous array of artwork that you can't find just anywhere! This is just one example.
Not only is this amazingly convenient for brides and grooms, but also for their guests! How many times do you make a ‘quick’ trip to the city to make a purchase off a registry so that you have it in time for a shower/wedding? You don’t have to anymore! All you have to do is run up to MSF! And don’t forget, we wrap it for you too! Can you say, one stop shopping?!
We wanted to give a shout out to our first bridal registry participants – Katie Goodman and Chris Thomas! Katie has been an absolute blast to work with! She pops in every once in a while and adds a few items to her registry when we get in new product or when her registry starts to get slim. How convenient is that?! No trip to the city or an internet site where you are not quite sure of the quality of the item you are adding!
An added bonus: We offer 20% off all remaining items on a bridal registry to the bride and groom for 1 month after their wedding date!
Spread the word: REGISTER AT MAIN STREET FLORIST!
