This Wedding Wednesday is brought to you by a team up between us and our favourite creative and vintage marketplace (and arguably top 10 favourite brand of all time), Etsy.
Having poured over the wedding pages of Etsy in secret for years, there really is no better place to discover gorgeous vintage, stunning handmade and quirky and unique pieces to make your day just that little bit different.
L: One of the things I've checked off the list is asking my special squad of Bridesmaids to do the honours on the day. These gorgeous little pencils are perfect to gift your gals (and to encourage them to get organising!)
The Bridesmaid on Duty design from
Posh Girl Prints is perfect for me (I like to run things like a military operation), and I can't wait to gift my girls with these beauties! They are top quality, with the gorgeous gold embossing imprinted into the wood, and with the Kate Spade-esque design, I know my girls are going to LOVE them!
L: How pretty are these? Anything pink and sparkly is perfect for me, and whilst I haven't set a colour scheme just yet, I know this gorgeous garland
decoration will be perfect for hens, night before wedding and also perfect for decorating the edge of the table for little guests.
The seller,
Pink Milk Creative sell all colours and lengths of tassel garlands, so you are guaranteed to find one which suits your wedding needs- big or small. Plus, when handled with care, these can be reused again for parties/future hens/weddings!
F: I'm putting something together gift-wise for the Groom and was actually thinking of doing this with a pair of vintage cufflinks, so I was thrilled to stumble upon
Suzy Q.
You can have anything engraved on these cufflinks - a special date or name, or go for map coordinates of places that are special to you both. I chose a different place for each cufflink - one in the past and one in the future. I think they're a perfect gift for grooms, the best man or father of the bride!
F: We both chose two different mother of the bride hangers, but as Lauren's hasn't arrived yet I'm showing you a sneak preview of mine from
Two Stories Gifts. How gorgeous?!
You can customise the ribbon colour and the words on the hanger - I just customised what the listing recommended - a name at the top with a role in the wedding, with a date and place on either end of the hanger.
I know my Mum reads the blog fairly religiously, so I'll just have to ask her to skip this post and save the surprise! I'm going to go back and get a few more for me and my three bridesmaids too...
F: Finally, a card. I always spend that little more time and money finding beautiful cards for very special occasions - weddings, new babies, etc - as these tend to be the cards people keep. I wanted to give my Dad a card on the morning of my wedding to thank him for his never ending support and love for me... I'm getting a bit teary just thinking about it!
This design from
London Wedding Invites is exactly what I've been looking for - it's beautiful quality, yet not too girly and perfectly fitting for the occasion.
For brides-to-be and bridal parties looking for inspiration, take a mosey on over to the
Etsy Wedding section for lots of beautiful pieces,
heirlooms and
gifts to make your big day sparkle - we honestly could not recommend the experience enough! Just keep an eye on delivery times to make sure your special extras arrive in time for the big day...!
Felicity and Lauren
