I seriously don't know how women have planned weddings in the past without
Etsy. I didn't only order multiple items off of Etsy to add sweet details to my wedding, I also used this website for new, creative wedding concepts. For starters, here is a list of the many items I ordered from Etsy for my wedding:
- "Mr. and Mrs." signs that hung on the back of our chairs {TheBackPorchShoppe}
- Wedding programs fans {ABeautifulUnion}
- Thank you cards for our guests that were placed in the napkins at each table {same as #2}
- "Just Married" sign {CowCountryCreations}
- The bridesmaid's/house party's gifts, which were cute monogrammed towel wraps {TheFlowerFairyShop}
- My wedding garters, one to keep and one to throw {lolainlace}
- Our ring bearer's bow tie and suspenders {jbkids3}
- My "Mrs. Hinton" hanger, which was a bridal shower gift {DawnsCraftStore}
{I am so in love with this romantic garter set!}
I feel like I may even be missing an item or two! I also did a lot of research on both Etsy and my absolute favorite wedding blog,
Style Me Pretty, to come up with some creative ideas for the wedding that I didn't necessarily buy, but that I had a friend make. A few of these items were:
- Vintage chalk-spray-painted silver platters that listed our dinner menu
- A road sign with arrows pointing to the ceremony, reception, and all the cities we've lived in
- The adorable "here comes the bride" sign that our flower girl and ring bearer carried

See what I mean? I myself am not creative in an arty sense. I can write, sing, dance, etc., but when it comes to painting, drawing, and sewing, I've got nothing Etsy!! And some uber talented friends. :)
