Etsy Weddings Rule

There are so many things one has to think about and plan when getting married. Between the kind of event you will have to all the many details that are involved, you could seriously drive yourself crazy! Its great there are so many resources out there for information and inspiration but sometimes that could make it more difficult. Too many choices can be overwhelming.

Well, since I am a big fan of Etsy and have a shop on there myself, I wanted to write a post about their Weddings and Registry section. I swear, this is one of the best things to come along since Martha Stewart Weddings! If you love unique handmade goods and live an indie lifestyle, than Etsy is right up your alley. Not only can you find amazing and beautiful items and accessories, you will be supporting artists who love what they do instead of large companies who certainly don’t need it.

Etsy Weddings has everything organized to perfection. From paper goods and decor to dresses, rings and accessories, you will find it all here with ease. Everything you need in one place! Even outfits and accessories for your wedding party. Just when you thought that was enough, there are plenty of blogs, stories, advice and real weddings you can read about. This is the placce to be when planning a wedding.

The Etsy Registry is so easy to navigate. All you have to do is sign up and pick the items you love. How much fun! I wanted to share some of my favorite finds from each of the categories. I hope you can all get some inspiration from them or even purchase a few for yourself or a friend. Here we go!

I came across this post on Etsy and had to share. How much fun is this theme for a wedding. That is one event I would love to go to for sure! From a custom illustrated invite gifted by a friend to the orchard inspired centerpieces, this wedding was packed with DIY goodness and indie flair.

The venue, Camrose Hill Farm, in Minnesota is simply gorgeous. Mother Earth surrounded these two awesome lovebirds and gave them a wedding they would never forget. They chose the eco-friendly route every chance they got and even had games to play. What fun!

The bride’s wedding ring was unique as ever and her custom dress was simply gorgeous.  How can you not love their dessert spread filled with candy favorites and an ice cream man.

Husband and wife, Meg and Thomas Suszynski, are great examples of staying true to who you are on the big day. I hope you all have a big smile on your faces when you look at these photos like I did. They made me so happy. Just a little reminder to not let the stress of planning a wedding get to you. Have fun, be yourself and enjoy every minute of it!

Justajar is a letterpress design shop in Ohio who’s work is hand cranked the old school way and all wood block prints are set by hand. One has to appreciate this fine craft and I must say Justajar pulls it off perfectly.

The work you will find in this shop is witty, clever and fun. Most have an organic feel and  the overall color scheme is inspired by nature. Lots of neutrals and muted tones. The perfect fit for engraved work. The artists behind all the items are talented, skilled and creative to say the least.

Look to their work for inspiration in the home. This one particular piece, sternwheel, is a favorite of mine. I imagine it hung above a fireplace looking grand and stately. The colors for this palette are mild and bright without being too much. It’s a nice mix of tone and value which allow a perfect scale of emotion to take place.

Check out their Etsy shop and show them some love!

Kate Durkin is an artist from New York who creates beautiful and childlike works of art. Painting and hand embroidery are her loves and any one of her pieces would be a perfect gift. She studied at The New School in NY and also received a certificate for painting from SACI in Italy. Her design skills and overall craftsmanship proves her an awesome artist.

With a number of solo and group exhibitions under her belt, she now works in Queens and has a shop on Etsy where she sells her paintings and pillows. Her palette is serene yet playful with a sophisticated touch. Her Owl print below is a great example of this. Look to her work for natural color schemes that are whimsical and fun.
