We are MARRIED!!!!! Our wedding couldn't have been more perfect. It was the best weekend of my entire life. I worked hard thinking about all of the little details, and I am so glad that I did!
I was introduced to Etsy by a dear friend many years ago. I have always loved the site, and it made sense to use it to purchase and/or inspire most of my wedding decor.
I don't even want to know how many hundreds of dollars I have spent ordering beautiful Etsy items to make our day extra special. I wanted to share all of my fabulous Etsy finds to pay it forward, since I used many blogs to research reliable Etsy sellers/products when I was doing my searching.
The Stampin Place: First thing is (was) first, I purchased an address stamp for my sweetie and I's home. This was the best first decision I made. I have used this thing hundreds of times stamping thank you cards, invitations, save the dates, etc. I opted for a stamp without the ink pad, just in case I wanted to switch up ink colors. This is the exact stamp style we purchased, and I have been extremely happy with it.
PennelliBelle: I found this site on a blog (paying it forward), and love this bracelet. My sister ordered me matching earrings, and while I decided to go with some daintier jewelry for the wedding, both pieces are excellent quality. Also, the communication with the seller was amazing.
Pretty Paris: I ordered this vintage fork set to keep at our cake table for decor and also to use as our cake-tasting forks for the day of. I absolutely love this sweet set, and the quality is also excellent.
Florrie Mitton: Let me tell you the story of my garter. Yes, I later found out that your maid of honor is supposed to purchase your garter for you, but my MOH is a broke college student, and that's just not how I roll. I saw this garter, and I immediately swooned over it. It was everything I wanted in a garter, and not some cheese, satiny cheapo one. This, to me, was heirloom quality, and I had to have it. I was hesitant to pay this much for a garter, but after I saw this seller also selling items from BHLDN (my love Anthropologie's bridal equivalent), I had to have it. I purchased it, and this is probably my favorite wedding purchase I've made.
The Giggle Room: Since we're not having a flower girl, I was okay with spending a bit more on our ring bearer's pillow. I saw this originally on Style me Pretty and had to have it. Burlap is a running theme in my wedding, and the pillow fit in perfectly.
Original Findings
I wanted to make some picture pendants for my bouquet of my grandparents who have passed away. In searching for pendants, I was shocked to see how expensive some where! I even saw some for $30 PER PENDANT. No thank you. I purchased these and ended up mod-podging photos on them, and they turned out perfectly.
