Working with her to make custom Gerbera Daisy gum paste flwoers for my wedding cake. MUCH more affordable than getting them through the baker. I'll share pics when I get them!
The dresses on her shop aren't really my style. But. She recreated a flower girl dress that FI and I Love and I think she did a fantastic job on it!!!
Here's one of our girls in it:



The original:

LOVE!
wow thanks for posting that clutch! i just bought one from them for my wedding. i didn't splurge on anything for myself, except for this. it looks gorgeous!
i love the hair flowers from: http://www.etsy.com/listing/45473586/ivory-rose-large-hair-clip-or-brooch

these guest books from: http://www.etsy.com/listing/46392015/boulevard-paris-guestbook

I bought a pillow with a quote I love from Sense and Sensibility by Jane Austen with the intention of using it as a ring bearer pillow. I ended up using something else but still love the pillow. It was from the Etsy seller Anna's Trunk.
I also had custom cufflinks with my hometown and DH's hometown on them as a gift for him but her shop is closed I think. It was Etsy seller Bella Moda Artist but it doesn't seem to be linked anymore.
(On a sidenote I got my invites through Etsy from La Bella Couture and it was an absolute and total nightmare - I don't think she's selling on Etsy anymore - at least not by that seller name. Night. Mare.)
Most of my ETSY finds have been for gifts for the wedding party but here's what I've gotten.
Something Blue - Adorable pearl with cap stamped with our initials and wedding date. I'll be tying it to my flowers. Seller = SissyPretties
Bridal Party glasses - Handpainted to resemble your wedding party (you email her pictures). Got white wine for the girls and pilsner for the guys. Seller = FizzyArtist
Wristlets for my BMs - Wristlet purses in a different pattern for each girl. Seller = lireca
Personalized notecards - different pattern/colors for each for my BMs, personalized with their name (I got a set for me too!). Seller = ohlouisedesigns
Bath Bombs - Part of my gift for my guest book attendant, plus an addition to my MOH's gift (and a couple for me to relax and de-stress from wedding stuff). Seller = bathbombconfections
Cuff Links - Personalized with our wedding date - and they look beautiful! I'll be giving these to my FI the morning of our wedding. Seller = WaxwingJewelry
This is a great thread. I've found tons of great things, but I'll only post the things I've actually purchased.
I purchased these earrings from TZTUDIO. She was great to work with and helped me pick the perfect color pearl for my dress.
I had 10 custom ladies and mens hankies made by EmbroiderybyMelissa. She has been easy to work with and had the best prices I could find.
I am making wine charms to put on everyone's wine glasses, and some of the charms I got were these cute wedding-themed charms from birdysdesigngallery.
I love this thread!!
I bought a garter from JLWeddings:

And I've ordered jewelry rolls for my bridal lunch hostesses from Plethora (they haven't come in yet, but I can't wait to see them):

I'm dying to find an wesome veil. I want a modern day pillbox....
My girls will be sporting these little beauties with their gowns. I didn't want to do traditional bouquets but wanted an accessory with a flower component. Natalie is awesome to work with!
The flower will be in a wine color...
Here are there dresses (in the color shown)

I recommend anything by handwired. I messaged her about my jewelry emergency a week before my wedding and she handmade four pieces for me in two days and I received everything four days before my wedding! The pieces she makes are GORGEOUS. And very reasonably priced too.
@texas - I got those a while ago for my maids (the jewelry rolls) - they are BEAUTIFUL and well-made - you won't be dissapointed! (P.S. Good taste LOL)
I bought my wedding dress from CiciBridal:

I bought my matching earrings and necklace from LuLuSplendor and was gifted a matching haircomb:



I got Navy Blue, Red, and Black baker's twine from Annie42, I got a custom made anchor stamp (which has been used a million and one times already!) from Asspocket Productions, and I am contemplating getting my veil from XolBridalBoutique or VeilArtistry.

Here are some of my fave. finds for our wedding!:

cake topper from Melabo
Engagement ring from DRNDesigns

Invites from Ellothere
Necklace I'm planning on wearing with my dress from Wiyomu
Dior inspired wedding band from DavidAndrewDesign (sorry pic is blurry)
@steph_zeppa I could kiss you! That is a gorgeous hat. I just bought it. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
Good thing I'm not the only Etsy addict. I've mostly gotten items customized but here's some:
Odalisca Rehearsal earrings

Adzia (same place Miss Stripes got her wedding bands) I asker her to make earring studs that look lik the center of this ring for my MOH.

Blacksatinshoes: shoe clips using custom fabric (same as my runners)

creativewoodland - Custom mini wood hockey sticks for boutineers

I'm also having a custom reception dress made by: Shaunasworld
A wonderful custom stamp for OOT bags from here: Stampoutonline
@tweds: I'm so glad you loved them! I have a feeling I'll be ordering one for me too after they come in for my hostesses!
LOVE this dress!

Sigh. Would be so awesome as a reception dress but no way I'm paying $500 for a reception dress.
her boleros are super cute as well. Her shops changed quite a bit since I last looked at it!
@something.blue: I love Adzias' jewelry! Her work is so lovely!
Here are my Etsy finds!

@Jacqi: OH MY GOODNESS, I can't thank you enough for posting those earrings! Those are gorgeous and exactly what I've been looking for!
@Gerbera: Isn't that dress beautiful! She's fairly flexible, if you're having trouble getting it out of your head you could always ask if different fabric could be used, or what modifications could be made to decrease the cost. Just a thought! My custom dress is around $250 so there are cheaper options.
Our invitations by Arippke...
Something Blue charm by SissyPretties...

Custom peacock cake topper by Ivyndell...

Fascinator by Diabloangel...

I don't know who the original designer
is but that version is by Etsy Seller ShaunasWorld.
@Gerbera:Ok, thanks! I love the way she did your version of it, so that works too :)
@Monkeygirl: OMG the peaocks make me want to DIE they're so gorgeous!
@farfromordinarybride: Which etsy seller made that necklace? Love it!
I got my invitations from Invited Design.

(not my info, just the sample) I had her print them up for me but she also will send you digital downloads if you want to print them. Love my invites!
I got a bunch of cameos that I will use as part of centerpiece decorations from Viva Viviant. They have a bunch of reclaimed supplies from an abandoned glass factory they are rebuilding.
@punky_brewster: i LOVE those record invites. i wish i would have seen those before i ordered mine!
@alligatress- thanks girl! The seller was without a doubt one of the kindest people I've ever dealt with. I am so excited about my peacock themed wedding! :)
We ordered custom made table runners, squares, and ring bearer pillows from DarlingDamask. The products were eventually great but they were VERY difficult to work with.

Ivory birdcage veil and fascinator from PrimandPosies. Love. Love. Love.

Vintage rhinstone earrings from designer135.

Custom cake topper from mudcards. Over half of our guests and our wedding party all attended our same alma mater and everyone LOVED the cake topper.
