So The E-Ring was on my 4th finger on my left hand… so the quest to cover His 4th left finger began! We first set off to Bailey, Banks, and Biddle to look at styles and get the Mister sized. We quickly discovered 2 things: he was a size 9 even, and he was also a picky Groom! So we were off… and we started our search at Etsy…  Etsy
If you have never taken a look at Etsy I encourage you to go immediately there and check it out after you finish reading my post. You will be forever addicted to it. So many of the things we have purchased for our wedding have been from this fabulous site full of handmade goods. I would love to share with you two of my most recent purchases.
Fiance’s Wedding Band – This ring was less than $50, at the time of purchase the seller with a fabulous 100% sales rating was offering free shipping. It took no time at all for them to make and ship this ring to our home. I am in the process of sending it back to have it engraved for an additional $7. We could not be more happier with this Etsy purchase.  Wedding Band from TitaniumKnights
I have mentioned this before, but as it turns out, my older sister is also engaged at the moment. Yes, things are hectic in our family with two weddings in 2010, but since I have so much time to spare in my planning, I’ve been lucky enough to be able to spend some QT working on events for my sister’s wedding. Currently, we are putting together her shower in March. The shower will take place at a hotel in D.C. for high tea.
Hi Friends, I thought I’d share with you my most recent Etsy finds! For those of you who don’t know – Etsy is THE place for DIY, vintage, and unique bridal accessories. This post could go on all day with the cool things you can find there (custom ties, monograms, hair accessories…) but today I’ll just tell you about the things I’ve recently purchased! Amazing vintage clip-on earrings from Belle’s Booty. I think they are perfect for the rehearsal dinner. It’s amazing what you can find for $10!  Vintage fun from Etsy shop Belle's Booty
Wahoo… another DIY item close to being checked!! OK, the only progress I have made is got the final image from one of my favorite wedding elves, SarahNWonderland (shout out to etsy!!)… but that is still progress. The DIY part will come next, but it should be simple!! OK, stop rambling, what is this all about you ask?!?! Well, remember a little while back I told you about my search for the fun, unique, mountain inspired seating chart?? And remember how I told you that Sarah agreed to do some more of her amazing work for us in the form of a seating chart?? Well, she has done it again!! Feast your eyes dear friends…
Does everyone know how easy it is to get a great designer to make up a monogram for you? Most are between $4-$10. When you find a designer to do something up for you, you can then use it on your invitations, thank you cards, favour tags, printed napkins, etc etc! Monograms help lend a ‘feel’ to your wedding, and help give a cohesive look to all of your stationary. Check these out:  Happy Betty Designs on Etsy
 From filebuzz.com The wedding is… wait for it… 68 days away!! YIKES!! That means the PhD defense is 58 days away… OMG!! Ya, some things have GOT to get done asap!! I have been feeling a bit like a drunk Santa these days… my thoughts about gifts are blurred by the intoxication that is finishing a thesis, planning a wedding, and oh ya, training for a marathon (honest, more to come on that soon!).
 from hereHelp!! I am worried I am turning into that bride!! Here’s the situation: I have been convo-ing a certain etsy seller for the past couple of weeks in regards to some custom attire pieces for our wedding party (I don’t want to throw this seller under the bus, as I am assuming it will all work out in the end), and she has been very good… timely responses, thorough answers to my questions, etc. etc. I have purchased from her in the past (non-wedding related), and have had no complaints… great product, quick shipping, overall I’ve been satisfied.
 From blueeyedfreckle.etsy.com I was in one of my favorite Atlanta boutiques over the weekend and saw the cutest handmade felt headbands by Blue Eyed Freckle. It’s too late (and thematically unsuitable) for my wedding, but I can picture an indie/crafty bride and her maids totally rocking them! Or even a funky lil’ flower girl.
 Where we'll be married I wish I could say that the path to our invitations was easy. Though I am convinced that the ones we finally chose were more perfect than I could have imagined, I do wish I hadn’t stressed myself out about them so much. It’s funny– finding the venue was tough, but in the grand scheme of things it only took about six weeks. And dress shopping? Piece of cake! Same with most of our vendors. But I’ve always been a big stationery person, and I knew that the invitations were something I did not want to settle for. At the same time, I didn’t want to break the bank on them either. That meant no letterpress for this Bud. I even investigated using a local press that teaches you how to DIY. But since we needed multiple pieces for our destination wedding, it still would’ve been too pricey. |
