flowers, registering, and china patterns

Today, we had our floral consultation for the wedding. With a few bumps in the road, we decided on the bouquets, boutonnieres, corsages, and other misc. decorations handled by the floral department for our wedding day. I'm really excited for the way everything is going to look, and the way we're incorporating our colors into flowers and decorations. Simple and classic, just like I was hoping for. Plus we stayed close to budget, and I feel like we took a really big step in planning.

I have to say, I'm not sure what to do next though. I think finding out we couldn't register at one of the stores we had hoped to register at put a bummer on the situation for a couple days. We had hoped to register at World Market so that we could choose unique dishes and maybe get a couple bottles of wine as gifts from some of our friends... but alas, they don't have a registry. We still have 2 stores we're planning to register for gifts at, but should we pick another store? I realize that World Market is a little bit of a "novelty choice," but I felt like it was us. I wouldn't know where else to register even. Does anyone have any great wedding registry suggestions? I'm trying to keep in mind that some of our guests are on budgets, or live in smaller communities that don't have some of the larger stores we do in Independence/KC.

Registering kind of loops me back around to dishes again. Do people still register for china? I'm thinking Ben and I don't need to because I have a set that has been given to me from EACH of my grandmother's... so, technically we already have 2 sets, and I honestly don't envision myself using china very often. I don't know if it's our generation and if we're just less formal? Did any of my married friends register for (and actually receive or use) china when you made your lists??

I also got to walk down the aisle today to figure out how long my song needed to be for my processional. That was a little surreal. I'm getting married....
