I hope everyone had a great weekend!
I have been really excited to tell you guys about the brilliant new registry feature at Bodanna Studio and Gallery…a non-profit organization that provides at-risk young adults with a place to thrive creatively and gain workplace skills through a handcrafted ceramics business. The talented artists at Bodanna put together this beautiful inspiration board for us, all inspired by their gorgeous ceramic pieces…
Ceramics by Bodanna, Necklace by Carrie D. Mader Jewelry, Wedding Dress by Nicole Miller, Ceramics by Bodanna, Flower by Rebecca Thuss, Bridesmaid Dress by RC Bridal, Stationery featured on Rebecca Thuss, Cake featured on Rebecca Thuss
All of the products in the new Bodanna Registry are hand-made locally in New York City by artisans, including graduates of their programs, and 100% of proceeds from each sale go towards developing and sustaining their program for at-risk young adults.
The best part? The ceramics are ABSOLUTELY beautiful…
Spend some time today looking over the Bodanna Studio and Gallery…it’s a wonderful way to give back while choosing unique, creative registry items that you will use for years to come.

YES! I love these ceramics. I just found them last week, and am so excited to add them to my registry (my fiance and I are both teachers, and he teaches in NY public schools, so it’s even more lovely that we’ll have these dishes for the rest of our lives.) Great post, as always!

I love Bodanna! The only slightly irritating thing is that some of their more beautiful (and affordable) gift items- like the dipping set, jewelry, and mugs- you can’t put on your registry! I hope they fix this feature soon because this is an awesome site and an even better cause.

I too love all the items you are sharing with us. I would also like to suggest that brides add a Bridal Mini garment to their wish list. It basically looks like the top half of a wedding gown, and is a bachelorette party top that is also worn when testing hair, makeup and jewelry. It really helps a bride prepare and have fun.
