At last, my wedding is far enough in the rearview mirror that I can talk about it with relatively low anxiety. It's going to be a few weeks before the digital proofs come in and I can post many of the amazing photos taken by Sweet Monday.
In the meantime, here are a few of my favorite Etsy wedding purchases. These merchants were all wonderful to buy from and get my highest recommendation!
1) Chiffon Clutch by Powder Blue Bijoux.
It's so pretty in person, I almost have to take a moment of silence. Okay. I'll be okay.
2) Swarovski comb, also by Powder Blue Bijoux.
My awesome hair stylist (Mitzi from LWB) placed the comb on top of and the veil below a little woven section of hair that went across the back of my head. It was a pretty effect and gave the illusion that the veil and comb were attached. Several people asked me how she was able to get the veil in there! It looks much more complicated than it was.
You may also notice that the little crystal balls on the comb coordinate with the ball at the clasp of the clutch.
3) Garter set by Garter Lady.
Also, as Jonathan's cousin Adam demonstrates in this photo, you can use it for just about anything:
4) Bridesmaid bracelets by Beazuness.
These had to be ordered in custom wrist sizes and they all turned out perfectly. I was very impressed.
This was one of the beautiful, thoughtful presents that Jonathan gave me for our wedding. An excerpt from one of our readings (Pablo Neruda's Sonnet XVII) is stamped inside.
This also fit perfectly based on custom sizing. I'm always impressed with the level of professionalism and craftsmanship shown by Etsy vendors. You would think there would be more room for mishaps with homemade goods, but I've had the opposite experience.
Do you have any Etsy favorites?

I love everything about Etsy. I was so sad when my wedding was over and I no longer had excuses to purchase things there... but I still look longingly at certain items!

I just figured out that you can add friends to your circles and see each other's wishlists!! Let's add each other! PS: Love your blog!!
It was wonderful and short-lived, having the excuse to buy this stuff. :)
Ooh, I love all of your links! Does Wilson have a donut???
I vote for you to buy the headband. Just my two cents.
Wilson has an orange ring that he's OBSESSED with, so I asked her to include it. Ben was so surprised.
Oh, and I love the leather cuff - so sweet and meaningful.
That's so sweet.
What a beautiful bride! Your husband is the luckiest man in the world.
I'm even luckier. :D
