Introducing Our Registry Style Profiles: Preppy
17 Oct 2012
Today we’re excited to introduce our Registry Style Profiles, our newest way to help couples create a gift registry that reflects their personal style. We’ve drawn from our collection of more than 50 chic and unique boutiques, brands and artisans to create our first set of six styles: Modern, Retro, Classic, Eclectic, Preppy and Green Style. Couples can simply choose the style they connect with, browse our curated selection of gifts and accessories, and fill their registry with gifts they’ll love. You can check out these styles on NewlyWish right now, and we’ll also be highlighting each one on the blog over the next few weeks, coupled with advice from our favorite bloggers and designers from around the country.
So let’s get started with our preppy picks and some great advice from Ritzy Bee, Danielle Colding Design, and Merci New York!

Preppy homes are inspired by the interiors of private school lounges, hunting lodges and country clubs. The formula is simple: combine classic forms, like Chesterfield Sofas and club chairs, with traditional patterns, like plaids and ginghams, with a palette of navy and white and pops of vibrant pink, lime or yellow. Use our Preppy Style Collection to turn your house into a colorful, charming home and let weekends in the Hamptons, gin & tonics at the club, class rings, canvas totes and monograms inspire you!

Words of Wisdom from the Experts
We asked some of our in-the-know friends from the wedding and interior design worlds to pick the style they like best. Here are some words of advice and handy tips from our Preppy Style profile lovers – Ritzy Bee, Danielle Colding Design, and Merci New York!
Ritzy Bee: “As born and raised East Coasters, we always have a little prep in our step when it comes to things we select for our home and in the weddings we produce. There can never be enough nautical navy, plaid and monogrammed items in our life and we think this collection is prep-fection!” – Maria & Kelly, Co-founders
Danielle Colding Design (HGTV Design Star Winner): “Preppy Style is all about sticking to the classics – crisp color palettes and furniture and accessories with clean lines and elegant details. Here’s how to take this classic style and give it some new life.” – Danielle Colding
When we think of preppy style there are some very classic color palettes that come to mind- many times centered around Navy blue. Now don’t get me wrong I love my Navy as much as the next girl, but for the modern preppy couple I like to think of pairing it in a different way. It is the ultimate classic color and the perfect starting point but think about pairing it with hot pink or orange for updated appeal.
Jackie’s picks for some preppy accessories to complete your wedding day look:

What a fun way to register! Like your product selection as well – diverse and unique. My style is a cross b/w classic and preppy so im looking forward to next week’s post so that I can find a way to blend the two.
Love love love this preppy style! The items are absolutely amazing! What a wonderful way to classify items to simplify the registering process
