Etsy Love: Vintage Wedding Dress

Brass Paperclip is one of my favorite shops on Etsy. Cindi has a great sense of style and knows a good vintage buy when she sees it. I have featured her beautiful wedding dresses here before, and this one is just as spectacular as the others.

From the 1960's, the vintage wedding dress is hand embroidered and features scallop edging and bell sleeves. Cindi has a complete description here,but there are two things I'd like to point out. First is the train; unreal. Twelve foot, detachable Watteau (waterfall) train. It is absolutely stunning!

Second, and my favorite part about buying the dress, is Cindi will donate all proceeds to breast cancer research. And the price? $375. This dress is a total win!





Visit Brass Paperclip for more information about this gorgeous dress and other equally stunning vintage finds.

Special Edition: A Romantic Wedding Preview

I wasn't going to post again today, but Meg over at La Partie Events has posted additional photos from Nadia & Charles Wedding, so I'm giddy to share. Here is a sample:

You can also see more photos on 100 Layer Cake and Once Wed. Isn't it the most romantic wedding ever? I love all of the vintage art nouveau wedding details, the Etsy touches, and how totally in love these two kids are. Perfecto!

Vintage Inspiration Thursday

Love Etsy. Seriously, in a time when we are all taking our environmental duties more seriously, but corporate giants like Walmart are making everything in our lives so generic, Etsy is a sunny patch of lawn that I want to sit in all day.

Here are some of my favorite finds this week:


I've featured this dress before, but it deserves another nod. From TimesVixenVintage.

Killer vintage leather gloves; and only $14.50! From Prairie Antiques.


Pretty Art Nouveau brooch (could be your 'something blue'). From Purple Daisy Jewelry.


This fascinator isn't vintage (it's handmade) but it sure does look it! From Portobello.



Another handmade item! Who doesn't think this bow tie is rad? From MrEatCi9.


Fab cuff links. From U791688.

Back in the day, men wouldn't leave the house without a fedora (which has been usurped by the baseball hat...ugh). From Crafty Crow Vintage.



Old biscuit and tea tins make wonderful vases for flower arrangements. Look for ones from Holland~they have the prettiest patterns.


If you're planning a small get together, think about purchasing your dinnerware as opposed to renting it. Depression glass comes in gorgeous colors and patterns. Scour tag sales and flea markets for bulk lots, too.


I'm hanky-obsessed. Honestly, I have about 35 different uses for them rolling around in my head. They are great for napkins, wrapped around bouquets (have monogram sewn on the ones for yourself and bridesmaids), passed to female guests before the ceremony, tied around the ring pillow, etc. From Sunn Fox.

Be a rock star. Be kind to mother earth. Check out Etsy.

Etsy Love!

I'm showing my love for Etsy today. Take a look at this gorgeous dress I found!




This beautiful, vintage Molly Stone Couture dress is stunning! Offered by Etsy seller Timeless Vintage Vixen for *gasp* $375!

Invitation to Love!

This invitation knocked my socks off! It reminds me of a 1960's concert poster. I half expect to see Jefferson Airplane and The Grateful Dead splashed across the top. This AWESOME woodcut invitation is from Tugboat Printshop in Pittsburgh, PA. Their artists are available for custom designs, or you can check out their fabulous Etsy store.








I mean honestly, can you stand it! I have such a strong appreciation for artists who work with elements from nature.

Rehearsing the Part

Posting fabulous Etsy finds never gets old. I came across this gorgeous reconstructed Gunne Sax dress the other day and thought it would make a perfect rehearsal dinner dress for a bride planning a garden or beach wedding. It is sure to set the tone for what's to come.





see dress here

To be honest, this dress could be a bride's wedding dress for a casual affair. And at a cool $54.00, how can you go wrong?!


I paired up the dress with sandals from Mystique and headband from Anthropologie.


Always look beyond the typical wedding stores for awesome ideas and products. You'll often find better deals and higher quality.

Love Birds





I just about die every time I see these cutey petuties.











Ann Wood's bird cake toppers are unique and charming. On her website http://www.annwoodhandmade.com/ she features sets with names like "Pickles and Joe" and "Josephine and Alastair". These lovely duos would compliment an outdoor garden wedding cake or be perfect for the bride and groom that are looking for something non-traditional.
