For the boyz....

It has been a long time since I have talked about the boyz who are involved in weddings so I think it is about time I get to talking. Once again I am looking to Etsy to provide lots of awesome ideas for the guys in your wedding party as well as the main boy, the groom.
You know me, always looking for something different. Something I have not seen in one of my weddings. So lets start with some cuff links. I will say that  95% of the guys will be wearing them. So you can either use the ones they give you when you rent the tuxes or you can get something that is a bit cooler. These little motorcycle cuff links are pretty darn cute. You can find them right here.

Then I also found these nautical stars by the same seller and I love these also! Want them? Click here.

Ok I am a sucker for cassette tapes. I was a child of the 80's so what.. These are totally rad and if you like you should click here.

Ok enough on the cuff links I could find a thousand more. How about some cool ties? Even if you are a more traditional bride, these can work. When they guys have their jackets buttoned no one will see the silk screening but once they are off you have a pretty awesome tie. They may even wear it after the wedding? Yes! Do you love? Then click here girl!

I also love boutonnieres that are fun and different. These little feather numbers are super cute and I think this would be a simple DIY project if you are in to the do it yourself thing. If not you can always just click here to buy them.

So those are a few little things that you can give to your guys that maybe they will actually like. Also don't forget when shopping on Etsy that almost every seller on there is willing to create custom orders for you. If you see a style you love never hesitate to convo the seller and ask for it the way you want it to be.

DIY'er gets Married!!!

What do you get when you take Etsy store owner Bianca and her wedding and mix them together? Well you get a mad dose of awesomeness, that's what.

Now Bianca has not just one but two Etsy stores. The first one is called Alter-Eco Clothing where you will find a seriously awesome line of handmade clothing. All crafted from organic fabrics, recycled materials and non-toxic fabric paints. Her second store is Black Widow DIY where you will find tons of reconstructed band shirts as well as loads of really cool street wear.
Now back to this wedding... Bianca is a special kind of bride because not only is she super creative but she has mad sewing skills as well. So naturally one would expect someone with these talents to create her own wedding wear by hand and that is just what she did. She made her wedding dress and it is AMAZING!!! She did not stop there though she also made her bridesmaids dresses, her garter and probably everything that involved fabric. I can not tell you how many times I hear brides say they are having a hard time finding dresses for their girls. So clearly this is one solution to finding the perfect dress. I love the fact that Bianca added the damask corsets to the dresses.
I know you are probably dying to see the photos so I will not keep talking. The last thing I want to throw out there is that Bianca has her wedding dress for sale in her Etsy shop. So if you think you want it you can click here to get the scoop. Now on with the eye candy!!!!

cake coppers do the robot..

Long over due blog post to say the least. But nonetheless I have a treat for you today.

Recently I joined a group called DIYSCENE and have been meeting so many talented girls and boys who are totally DIY goddesses and gods. It is really awesome to see a group of people using their talents and making such awesome goods. I will post some info at the bottom of this post if you want to check it out. I have seen some great "weddingish" ideas on this site and it is fun because all of these kids are Etsy shop owners and post their new handmade goods. So I feel like I am getting to preview the awesomeness right when it is getting posted. 

I want to introduce this Etsy seller to you because she made the coolest cake topper I have seen in a long time. I felt it was my duty to share it with you people. Sleepy Robot 13 is the name of her Etsy Shop and you can just get there by clicking right ------> HERE <-------
