Etsy is a wonderful place to purchase unique and/or custom items for your wedding. Especially if you're looking to add extra personal touches to your day. From wedding gowns to invitations you can find almost anything wedding-related on Etsy.
our guest book tree with some placed leaves... it filled up well in the end |
I wanted to be able to display our guest book instead of putting it in a box and never looking at it again. However, I didn't feel comfortable doing the thumbprint guest book tree because I didn't want to creep out my guests by asking for their finger print so this was my compromise.
The leaves are self-adhesive. Guests sign the leaves and stick them onto the tree. I highly recommend having guest book attendants to aid guests in the process. You are going to be hanging this on your wall and you don't want a wonky looking tree.

I wanted to have a custom wedding gown label because I thought it was a fun tradition. I purchased a quatrefoil label with my initials and our wedding date. I went with the quatrefoil because it's the symbol of my college sorority. My seamstress sewed it into the bottom side seam of my dress in case I wanted to show it to someone at the wedding.

I always wanted to wear a flower in my hair. Choosing the right flower was the hardest decision for me-- the right color, size, look... I finally went with a 4" peony (my favorite flower) made of white silk and white sheer with a rhinestone center.
The hair flower I purchased is made by Silver Pencils.
I wanted a customized topper that looked like Brad and me. And I couldn't forget Jack. After searching for a while I stumbled upon Lynn's Little Creations.
Lynn makes custom toppers starting at $65 for the couple (add $5-$10 per pet, depending on size). Most custom toppers I've seen are easily $100-$500+.

I wanted to get our program and guestbook attendants a little something to say thanks for being part of our special day. I decided on rose resin earrings because I think they're cute and fun.
I purchased their earrings from Once Upon A Peony.

For our favors, we gave our guests sugar cookies from Brad's favorite hometown bakery. They had our college Alma mater's symbol airbrushed onto them. To seal the bags, I purchased these custom stickers from MAU Promos.
I also purchased our cookies bags from an Etsy seller. I mostly bought them because I didn't have to buy 1,000 and they are BOPP (biodegradable, FDA approved for packaging food items; oil and grease resistant; water vapor, gas, and aroma barriers).
To see what size bag would work best for the cookies I was able to order a sampler package of bags from the same seller for less than $3, which was great.
I purchased my resealable BOPP flat cello bags from Artistic Ephemera.
