The Handmade Wedding: An Etsy Roundup
Handmade items, especially for weddings, seem to be more appreciated than ever these days. Knowing that it was made specifically for you or that there are very few of them around – it is very attractive. Enter Etsy. This lovely site has become the go-to spot to find original items from individuals who make these items simply because they love what they are doing. The variety and amount of things to find is amazing. I always keep this site handy for my client’s either for specific items or simple inspiration.
I’ve been browsing Etsy quite a bit recently. The weddings I have coming up this season are just screaming for those personal touches. I have stumbled across a few things that I think are super fun and I thought I would share a few here. I totally recommend that you take your own trip through Etsy. It’s one of my faves! Until next time… XOXO, Julie
Clutches from Yensew – I always love a stylish clutch to complete an outfit. And, your wedding day should be no exception. This one caught my eye because it is the perfect blend of glamorous and simple. And, a little something blue in the lining! And take a look at the other options for bridesmaid gifts.
Ring bearer Birds Nest from Rachel Walter – I have never been a big fan of the ring bearer pillow. Anything else that a little boy can carry would be fine. And these little nests are so cute. And so perfect for an outdoor ceremony. Just something a little different.
Love Birds Cake Topper from Lollie Blossom Studio – To keep with the nest theme, I saw these birds and thought they were so wonderful. Not cheesy. Simple. Understated. Really cute!
Seersucker Ties from Divine Domestication – Remember the inspiration board I posted a few weeks ago that featured a preppy design? Here’s is a perfect variation on the navy and white: seersucker! I love these ties so much! And, please take a look at the awesome bow ties too. I would die to see a ring bearer in these.
Hand painted Floral Silk Dress by Tanja Design – Something about this dress hits me just right. Bridesmaids dresses have a really bad reputation. I don’t know that these dresses are for everyone’s wedding party. But, I really like them. Heck. I might buy one to wear on Easter…
Something Blue Statement Necklace from RiRi Jewelry by Naoko – One of my very favorite things to find on Etsy is handmade jewelry. I love that perfect piece that completes an outfit. And statement pieces for weddings have been more and more popular. Being a lover of the color blue and knowing that every bride needs her blue, I am going to go with this piece. Amazing!
I hope you enjoyed this little round up! Keep in mind that amazing pieces aren’t only found online. Etsy is just one of the fastest and most extensive showing of artists’ handmade items. But, browse your local boutiques. There are always amazing pieces to be found. As always, your wedding should reflect you and your style. I wish you a wonderful time completing your look with any and all little touches you find!
