On the Homefront with: giraffe label designs

I am continually inspired and impressed by the creativity of my fellow team members of the Homefront Team on Etsy! Giraffe label designs offers these wonderfully unique custom wedding dress illustrations! It would be a great way to capture that special day and would also make a very special gift for the bride!

Tuesday Talk - Wedding Favors

 

For some time I have been thinking about what kind of wedding favors I could make to sell on Etsy. I love to do custom orders and then I got this inquiry that really got my wheels turning! How about wedding favor magnets they asked, and my response was yes! It was such a wonderful idea! The great thing about this gift is that it captures that special moment and the recipients of the magnets can use them to hang a wedding picture on the fridge! So, in the next few days I will be busy creating a variety of designs to offer on Etsy. Stay tuned for these and be sure to pass the word along!

Thursday and Undiscovered: With This Rose

With Spring around the corner and Summer weddings on their way, there is much planning to do for the bride. From the cake to the flowers every detail should be perfect on her wedding day, and With This Rose on Etsy can help with those flowers! The bouquets are beautiful and definitely affordable currently ranging from $17-$45. If you are looking for your flowers, or know someone who is swing by this shop and forward the link. Looking at these bouquets makes me want to marry my husband again!

Handmade Wedding

Last November I married my wonderful husband, and we had several pieces of our wedding that we made ourselves: the invitations, the floral arrangements (thanks to my generous mom), the wedding favors, and the thank you notes.

The wonderful thing about having a handmade wedding is that you can get exactly what you are looking for, have something unique, and create a memory people will love to think about.

If you want to make some of the items yourself you should consider visiting the following sites:
DIY Bride - All kinds of projects
DIY Weddings
DIY Life - Centerpieces

If you are not craft savvy, or are as busy as I was when I got married, you should consider shopping with Etsians to create your dream wedding. I have included some of my favorite shops below. If that is not your style click here to browse Etsy's wedding category. You are bound to find something great!

I hope that each of you getting married this year have a blessed marriage, full of joy, excitement and many years!
