The family-run Waiheke vineyard, Poderi Crisci, was blessed with powdered blue skies and sunshine on the day of Carla and Nick's quintessential New Zealand wedding. The epitome of sophistication, the wedding was peppered with plenty of those endearing eccentricities that make a wedding truly memorable. Grapevines, lavender fields and manicured gardens served as the backdrop for the ceremony. Afterwards, cocktails and canapés were served, followed by a sit down dinner and dancing, Italian style.
As one of Mildred&Co's registered couples, Carla and Nick have been incredibly generous with their words, explaining their gift registry experience with us here:
“We decided upon Auckland-based registry Mildred&Co primarily for the diverse and superior selection of product available. It didn't matter that we were planning our wedding from Sydney, the smooth and professional service we received when dealing with the staff at M&Co make it irrelevant wherever you are based. We could not recommend this slick operation more.
A highlight of the experience for us was selecting our chosen gifts in owner Milly Nolan's stunning inner city showroom. We were treated like royalty and spent the good part of an afternoon with Milly working our way through the many beautiful items. Receiving our gifts (they very kindly and speedily delivered the stylishly wrapped gifts for us to open on Christmas Eve) literally was, and felt like Christmas.
We were so impressed to receive not only hand written notes, but a typed up reference document detailing who had purchased what, and their addresses! Genius. What I found particularly useful about using a registry, especially this one, was the ease in which you could navigate the website, track what gifts had been purchased and then top up through the e-store afterwards. We were able to complete crockery and glassware sets and add to a few of our gifts afterwards. A thoroughly enjoyable experience. Now for the baby registry please Mildred&Co!"
