In order to show off some of the most unique items from the Crate and Barrel registry, the houseware, furniture and decor retailer set up an exclusive blog collaboration with the 100 Layer Cake blog.
In order to kick off the partnership in an exciting way, Crate and Barrel and the ladies of 100 Layer Cake hosted an in-store gift registry event. The event involved three beautiful stations that would help couples pick out flowers, cocktails and cakes, while also exploring a few of the options that could be added to their registry wish lists. Those who had the chance to view each of the curated stations must have felt like they were able to browse Pinterest for inspiration, but in real life.
The collaboration between 100 Layer Cake and Crate and Barrel has now gone on to include a number of other seasonal projects that are suited to a range of life's special occasions.
