A PLAIN veil from the bridal shop where I got my gown was almost $200. If you’ve never had to buy a veil before, you probably don’t realize how expensive they are. This is a big one! We bought Taylor’s wedding band on Etsy! Since he wanted a simple gold band, we decided to order through Etsy because it was cheaper for the exact same thing you could get from a jeweler. For my robe I got an all lace robe with a slip underneath. I was pleasantly surprised with the quality of the bridesmaids robes because so many of them seem like cheap satin, but these were really nice! I got the Blossom Floral color. I got my robe and my bridesmaids robes from the same shop, and they were great. I got the self-inking stamp because it was easier. And I just liked the look better than using a label. I can’t imagine having to write our address on all of those. We got a stamp with our return address to use on the Save-the-Dates, Invites, and RSVPs and it was a total lifesaver. But I still wanted it to be pretty so I went with a small size book in our wedding colors (burgundy and gold) and it turned out so pretty! I actually don’t have a picture of ours and it’s currently packed in a moving box right now, but just imagine it’s burgundy and says 10 27 18 Rae+Taylor.

I knew I didn’t want to spend too much on a guestbook because like two pages get signed and then that’s it. I’m actually planning on having it printed and framed for our new house.

It’s also a piece of art that I will have forever. She then sent me the digital files in multiple formats, and I was able to easily use it to make my invitations. I sent her a few pictures and then after she worked on it she sent me a proof and then made any changes I wanted. She was great to work with and the process was so easy. So I commissioned Sarah from Lily and Hue to paint it for me and I am in love with how it turned out. I made my own wedding invitations (which I’ll have a post showing you exactly how I did it soon) and I knew I wanted a watercolor of our venue on them. This was the VERY first thing I bought for my wedding, and it still my favorite purchase.

So I’m going to share with y’all everything I bought from Etsy for my wedding, plus a few ideas of things I would’ve liked to have bought. They just have so much unique stuff to pick from, and I love the idea of supporting smaller businesses instead of just ordering from Amazon. My favorite resource for all things wedding was Etsy. Although planning a wedding is expensive, there’s so many fun extras you can buy.
