Etsy Finds of the Week: Bridesmaids Gifts

Here are some fun gifts for your bridesmaids courtesy of one of my favorite online shops, Etsy!  Gifts for your bridesmaids don't have to big expensive, just a little something to let them know how much you appreciate them sticking by you throughout the past through months.  I love the idea of personalizing each gift for each bridesmaid.

Happy planning!

Wedding Day Idea: Bring a Pretty Hanger!

Your photo dress can make for a great photo op- but chances are it will come from the store with one of the cheap, plastic hangers.  We recommend purchasing a cute hanger for your dress to hang on so that your photographer can snap a few cute photos!  A quick Etsy search will yield you plenty of pretty finds!

Etsy Find of the Week: Striped Straws

I recently attended the wedding of a friend in Chicago and she had a fun "pop" bar where guests could mix their own sodas.  I loved the striped straws she had so I knew to find them I had to look no further than Etsy.  

Here are the straws from her wedding in her colors, coral and gray:

And here are a few shops that sell these festive straws on Etsy:
