Etsy

On my hunt for custom made things for a low price I found etsy. And I instantly fell in love with this site. I found etsy because of a forum which I am an active member on Best Destination Wedding . It is so great to find so much info all in one place. Thanks to this forum I haven't turned into a bridezilla or have decided to cancel my wedding all together.

But back to Etsy . I ordered my real touch flowers from Jdleggans . She was wonderful, responded to my messages with in a few hrs, and updated me with the process of my order. I ordered a bridesmaid bouquet, 2 hair flowers, 2 bouts, and a ladies corsage in all white roses with purple ribbon for $77 including shipping! The flowers are breath-taking, no one believes they're fake and they feel just like real flowers too.

I also ordered my garter for $7.00 including shipping from Birds of Paradise . She was a pleasure to work with and went out of her way to make it the perfect color for me. I received it less than a week after I ordered it.

I also recently ordered a custom hanger from Lilafrances with the words lucy (heart) emil. I am still waiting for it but I've seen pictures of many others she has done and they're great. This will be used for taking pictures of the dress. And then I will have it as a keepsake :)

Invitations

I do love how pretty the Pocketfold invitations look but I wanted something simple and I since I am going to also give a brochure about the wedding weekend and travel information etc,. I am not the most creative person either so I went on 123print.com and found these really pretty invitations that go with my color scheme. I ordered 50 invites and RSVPs with envelopes for the price of $57.00 including shipping (I upgraded to the better quality paper as well). I am very happy with the way they came out. The envelopes aren't the best quality but they'll do.
