♥ Wedded Bliss in Etsyland ♥

The grumpy prince and I played hooky and unplugged yesterday to send a special day in each others arms and company.  We celebrated our 16th wedding anniversary and it was divine.  Of course, the return of the 'Vampire Diaries' was an added bonus for me.

Etsyland is awesome for planning a wedding, everything you need and some items totally unique in one place.  If you are planning a wedding run don't walk to Etsyland.  Here are some great finds with a search under handmade and 'wedding'.

Let's have a toast

and invite some friends and family

for your fave fragrance and lipstick touch ups

All eyes will be on you

How cool!

Forever and ever!

I love this

With this ring....



Hope you have a fairy-tale Friday!!

A Guilty Pleasure..

Last Sunday morning, my grumpy prince and I spent sometime in bed together (not doing that!), watching TLC's 'Four Weddings'; a guilty pleasure show (one of many) .  It's a wedding show where 4 brides compete against each other for an all expense paid dream honeymoon.  They judge each other on dresses, food, venue, etc. and the bride with the highest score wins a dream honeymoon.

One of the episodes last Sunday had a bride and groom (doctor/lawyer college students, so small budget)  who had a beautiful intimate evening soirée at a restaurant that thrilled me; it was so elegant and romantic.  They tied for 1st, but lost in the tie breaker :(

It made me think about how more and more brides/grooms are showcasing their individuality and personalizing their weddings.

So here's a glimpse of 'my' modern wedding, Etsy style.

1. invitations.
2. dress.
3. fab shoes.
4. her band.
5. vintage brooch bouquet.
6. his band.


For accessories I would choose something from twigs and honey (gorgeous blog).  Myra Callan from Etsy, designs some of the most beautiful bridal accessories I've ever seen.  Here are 4 of my faves (thank goodness I don't really have to choose).

1. rhinestone headband.
2. double feather flower.
3. creamy bouquet.
4. silk organza flower bomb .


For jewellery, uhm let's see, this is a tough one.  Oh, I know something from GRIMM & GRETE ;)

Hope your weekend is filled with bliss!
