friday fabulousness…

closing out this week of great etsy finds are these cute clutches by emma england. they would make perfect gift for your bridesmaids…and since she has tons of fabric and color options, you can match to each girl’s personal style!

i received one of these adorable bags as a birthday gift from one of my sweet brides, and it’s a perfect size for a night out…or even just carrying around as an everyday bag! plus it is nice to not feel like a bag lady with all the huge purses we tend to buy nowadays, and small bag = easier to find stuff since you don’t have your whole life inside it!

wrap your head around these!

to continue on with some more etsy finds…how cute are these wrap around address labels from le petit paper? these would be so perfect for sending out your wedding invitations, christmas cards, valentine’s day cards, or just about anything you can imagine!

i am just adoring…

these soft and pretty dresses from etsy seller sarahseven! they make me want to put one on and do a “little girl twirl”. i just can’t get enough of their amazingness!

sarah’s pieces are perfect for a bride looking for something couture, feminine, with a splash of whismy. this is definitely not the traditional strapless ball gown! you can customize your dress length, color, add/remove sleeves…anything your heart desires!

i am also loving that 10% of every gown purchase goes towards various charities that she supports. which is so beautiful of her to do! her pricing is also something to put a smile on your face, as the gowns pictured range from $455 to $1210. these are custom dresses peeps…and not just for weddings either!

like seriously, why are you still reading this? go fall in love with her shop right now!

etsy lovin: save the dates

i just received a save the date for the wedding of my dear friends brian & helen…and it reminded me how exciting it is to be a guest and receive a really cool save the date. especially when it’s so well thought out and gives you a glimpse of what’s to come for their wedding day! your first correspondence to guests regarding the wedding should always convey some sort of “sneak peek” of what your wedding style will be. not only does it get them super excited…but it also helps pull together one cohesive flow of your wedding from start to finish!

of course you know of my obsession when it comes to etsy…but i also have a “not so secret” obsession with cool acrylic pieces to modernize a wedding up. and since “etsy has everything it’s no surprise that i found these ultra chic acrylic mini save the date calendars for such an awesome price! the seller, paperthickink also has acrylic wedding invites, menus, guest sign-ins…you just have to love them!

if i were to receive this save the date, it would convey a ultra chic, minimalist wedding for a couple that loves to do things a bit outside the box! or it could also be for a luxe holidays style wedding…icy cool! oh so fabulous!

what will your wedding correspondence say about you?
