Creative garlands.

I've had French designer Anastasia Jamin bookmarked in my Etsy faves for some time now. She creates darling felt garland that can be customized to your preferred color palette. Wouldn't these add a fun touch at a reception, or as a background for posed photos?

Be sure to check out her Etsy shop for these pendants and many more swoon-worthy pieces.

Otherwise, I'm heading out for a long weekend in celebration of my Mom's 60th birthday. =) I hope you all have a wonderful weekend. I'll be back on Wednesday to announce the winner. Good luck!

A real life Etsy wedding.

When I was flipping through the current issue of Real Simple Weddings, I was excited to see the wedding of Cynthia + Les. Not only are they a gorgeous couple (look at those smiles!), but the colors and little details they incorporated are so stylish. Many items were created by either Etsy vendors (which you know I love!) or the happy couple, so their big day was a true handmade wedding. Links follow below. Enjoy!

The perfect wedding shoe?

The At Tiffany's shoe from Hey Lady might be the most perfect wedding shoe I've ever clapped eyes on. Sweet, scalloped and blue? I'm in love.



Hope you all have a great week?
