Still in need of your something blue? These blue rhinestone “I Do” shoe stickers are so adorable and make for perfect photo props too! Alternative wording options could be the wedding date, couple’s initials, heart shapes, or the word “Mrs.” coupled with the groom’s last initial. Here are a few stores that sell these lovely blue rhinestone stickers:

1)      Etsy Seller – www.yourhappilyeverafter.etsy.com
2)      Etsy Seller – www.MonAmourBoutique.etsy.com
3)      Mindy Weiss – http://shop.mindyweiss.com

If you are a DIY bride or want to get more creative with the rhinestones, try a craft store like Michael’s. I have seen the blue rhinestone stickers sold individually and in the form of letters.

ArtFire...Have you heard of it? 08/21/2011

One of my Etsy pals introduced me to ArtFire this morning - I can't believe I haven't heard of it until now! During the tour of this interactive handmade market place and craft community, I found it to be very user friendly. Potential buyers are able to enter search strings in several different markets like handmade, vintage, and design. ArtFire also offers a listing of categories that one can search under such as free shipping, colors, and sales. 

Under the “ArtFire Trends and Ideas” section, there is a link to “Handmade Weddings” that features all things wedding. Perfect if you are looking for handcrafted bridal dresses/accessories and wedding décor. 

I have found the ArtFire community to be very similar to Etsy with a few differences here and there. If you can’t find what you are looking for on Etsy, I definitely suggest trying ArtFire as another outlet.

127-Year-Old Wedding Dress Worn Through Generations! 08/20/2011

127-Year-Old Wedding Gown!
This MSNBC feature story was so touching! Before her husband ever popped the question, Allison Rinaldi always knew that her “something old” would be the same wedding dress that her great-great grandmother wore down the aisle back in 1884. Since then, the gown has been worn by Allison’s grandmother, mother, and aunt at their weddings. On June 11, Allison had her chance to wear this 127 year old wedding gown as a tribute to family tradition. I am still in utter shock at the fact that this dress has remained in almost impeccable condition over so many years!

Handcrafted Couture Garters 08/19/2011

I was doing a bit of Etsy surfing and discovered a very talented French designer who specializes in handcrafted bridal accessories. I absolutely fell in love with the Lollie Couture custom garter line. The delicate rosettes, beading, lace, silk, and crystal accents are what make these custom made garters truly beautiful. So beautiful that you may not even want to part with the garter on your wedding day! Luckily, these handcrafted garters are offered in sets including one toss garter and one keepsake garter. As an added plus, the keepsake garter has a dainty blue bow affixed inside the garter for your something blue!

Lollie Couture is available in select Bridal Shops, Bridal Showrooms, Salons, Lingerie Shops, Adult Novelty Stores, Shopping Networks, and, of course, Etsy! I assembled the inspiration board below with some of my top favorite Lollie Couture garters. Check out the Lollie Couture Etsy Shop for additional garter styles.

Custom Bridal Hangers 08/16/2011
0 Comments
 
Personalized bridal hangers are not only lovely props for wedding photos, but also special keepsakes to be cherished after the wedding day. Etsy seller, Delfina4, offers these customized bridal hangers in a variety of beautiful designs! All hangers are attached to a brushed nickel wire custom shaped into the desired name.

First, there is the “Simple Hanger”, which is done in a dark cherry or maple wood finish with a tulle ribbon tied to the hanger for a soft touch.

Another option is the “Hand Painted Hanger”, which is exactly that! The hanger is hand painted to resemble a wedding dress with bits of the wedding theme displayed on the handles. Crystals are often added to the hanger to complete the look.

The last option is the “Decoupage Hanger”, which is created using a collage of photos that represent the couple and/or their wedding theme. These hangers are completely custom made and the possibilities are endless! Crystals are often added to the hanger to complete the look.

Check out some photos of this talented Etsy’s seller’s work below. You can view even more photos at her shop: www.etsy.com./shop/delfina4
