Bridal Shower Inspiration
10 JulCustom Design Sneak Peek!
22 AprI’ve been working on a custom mock-up design for the past few days. So far it’s been my most favorite one to create. The bride & groom’s wedding colors are papaya and gray. I could not have picked a yummier color combination myself. I was so excited when she told me she loves sweets and wanted something fun, and also mentioned she wanted the typography to stand out.
Here is a peek at what I’ve come up with so far. And yes, those ARE cupcakes and gumdrops!
Following the favorites trail
11 MarToday I did a little thing I like to call “following the favorites trail” on Etsy. I can usually find some pretty amazing things this way as opposed to using the search function, where it can become quite overwhelming to wade through so many– for lack of a better word– unattractive items. Here are a few of my favorites I’ve chosen from looking through others’ favorites lists…
Using Yellows
4 MarYellow is such a popular color this year, I thought I would share some of my favorite yellows.
I love this etsy front page treasury. The curator uses yellow so subtly.
Some of my favorite flowers are yellow. Forsythia blooms in the Spring, and Craspedia or “billy button” can be dried and used indefinitely.
Yellow makes a good match for colors like grey, dusty pink, eggplant, or chartreuse
My favorite Etsy boutonnieres
16 JanIt took me a while to figure out how to spell boutonniere, but once I did, I found several pages of beautiful boutonnieres, not to mention many talented etsians. Here are a few that stood out from the crowd:
This one might be my favorite. Subtle & pretty.
Get it from ekaminsk
If it’s green, I like it. I was drawn to the spotted
feather & earthiness. This is one is from lfinkels
this one is from tinarie21. I love the dotted ribbon
wrapped around the bottom and the monkey tail.
Peacock feathers are so popular right now, and I love
that whichgoose paired it with a button!
There are many more etsy sellers who make gorgeous boutonnieres, here are a few that caught my eye:
