Wedding fabulous Etsy finds

I love Etsy, and every now and then I venture into Etsyland to see what is new in wedding products. I came across some very beautiful and useful wedding items.

I love to share with my readers different things that will help with their DIY weddings. I found a very interesting tool on Etsy that will leave your personal "stamp" on your wedding day.

Food Safe Acrylic Stamp - For Fondant, Cupcakes, Brides and Birthdays From Babyjewels. They are wonderful for making your cookies and fondant creations all your own. Brides love them for wedding cupcakes and they are great for birthdays, showers, bar mitzvahs and more. Measures 1.5" and has a wooden handle.

Fee free to change the wording on any stamp you see to make it fit your special occasion.


Jewelry with simple elegance is extremely attractive to me. Sometimes with the fanciness of your wedding hairdo and the bling of your tiara, simple elegant earrings will do just fine. That is what I thought of when I saw these Teardrop Pearl Earrings from CrystalAvenues. She has a host of other wedding stunning wedding pieces and also has a garters with a vintage look.




I gravitate towards anything with earthtones, so it is no surprise that I found this ringbearers pillow very attractive. I could actually see this on my bed or couch ( that's would be pre kids), which makes this a great keepsake that will add to your home decor. This Silk and Satin Floral Ring Pillow for your wedding is perfect for a wedding with chocolate tones. This pillow is from Jwrobelstudio.

So lovely and elegant for your wedding day and destined to become an heirloom that is treasured for years to come. This ring pillow is handcrafted with the utmost care to be the perfect accessory for your perfect day. Handmade rose with 23 satin petals that were sculpt with a bit of heat from a candle flame. The pillow is made from a beautiful coordinating silk dupioni and it is all accented with a chocolate satin ribbon. This pillow measures approx 6.5" wide, 9" long, and 2" tall, not including the additional depth of the rose.


Last but certainly not least , I have the pleasure of knowing some of Etsy's finest artisans. Trudy from Mommagoddess is makes awesome pieces, I have a few of them. This particular piece, the Pearl and Crystal Bridal Necklace made my list because of its wedding wow, it really is a stunning piece for any bride that wants a piece that says wow. It will look absolutely stunning with a strapless dress or one with a low cut back. The pearl and crystal jungle is attached to a sterling silver chain that trails down the back ending with a Swarovski crystal star. You will indeed be the star of the show whether you are entering or exiting the room.

Wedding Jewelry Treasure Chest

As part of an online sales group I have met alot of talented business women. One such woman is Trudy owner of MommaGoddess, an Etsy shop. I purchased one of her pieces for my daughter's 13th birthday. Her customer service made my shopping experience a great one. As a fan of Etsy and always in search of great finds to share with my readers I searched through her site in search of some unique wedding jewelry. I was pleasantly surprised by what I found to share (and add to my own wishlist).

This first item I actually had a chance to preview before the listing (perks of being in this group). I thought it was a beautiful piece and envisioned it as part of a beautiful bridal hair-do.



Aptly named "Here comes the Bride" this piece brings the traditional look to your wedding look. It's white pearls with crystal dividers. Matching earrings available.




Traditional with a twist, this gorgeous mix of cream freshwater pearls, wine glass pearls, ivory glass pearls, clear crystals, and delicate silver plate chain update the traditional pearl wedding jewelry. Great for mother of the bride, bridesmaids, or even the bride who likes to step out of the box.



This by far is my favorite piece and will probably be my next purchase from Trudy, it speaks to my love of earth tones. This necklace would be a lovely gift for your bridesmaids. Different colors for each one or made to match your wedding colors. Antique Bronze chain, organza ribbon, Swarovski crystals in smoked topaz, and bronze glass pearls.


Stop by Trudy's shop to view all of her beautiful and unique pieces.

Indian Theme Event: A Snapshot

As a planner I get involved with kinds of events. While weddings are my favorite I enjoy planning so much it does not really matter. I go around taking mental pictures of things, concepts, colors, ideas that I could use at my next event. I often joke that I have an extra pocket in my brain where I file all of these things. Well somehow my planning gene was passed down to my oldest daughter (no scientific proof) and she has been planning her Indian Sweet Sixteen for a year now. She still has three years to go, however as with any client when they begin to express their wishes and visions for their event, I begin to take those snapshots in my head. Snapshots of colors, saris, invitations and well so much more.

I came across a post highlighting Kemba Celebrations, an Etsy shop. Kemba Celebrations creates layered handmade wedding invitations and stationery inspired by world prints and themes. The wife and husband team are inspired by areas such as Asia, India, Africa and Europe.

I really was impressed with their intepretation of Indian architecture on paper (snapshot). When I showed the site to my daughter (client) she was overjoyed and decided that this would make it into her planning file.

Here are a few of my favorite:


Persian Tile Pattern

Indian Paisley



Lotus Floral Print
