Using Etsy to Plan your Alternative Wedding

Kat

May 15, 2016

If you’re anything like me, you’re already obsessed with Etsy because it’s the perfect place to find unique items for your wardrobe, home, wedding and beyond! Buying things from independent sellers not only means you’ll be getting something not everyone else on the planet will own, but it feels really good to support the small businesses who list on there.

Kat

Infraordinario

February 25, 2015

Not wanting a super formal, traditional Italian wedding, Licia and Matteo decided that they wanted their day to be low key and fun. They also didn't want to spent a lot of money so the bride bought her amazing dress from the Concious range at H&M and most of their décor items came from Etsy.

Don't get me wrong, love is a wonderfully glorious thing, but the forced "We're so in lurrrve, let's spend lots of money on overpriced bouquets and go to a packed restaurant with everyone else that's also in lurrrrrve" attitude around Valentine's Day isn't really my bag.

Cute and Casual Tooting Wedding: Ben & Helen

Kat

Foden

December 10, 2014

Ben and Helen had a casual wedding in Tooting. "We wanted to throw a wedding for our families as much as for us, to celebrate life and love and enjoy a special day together", Helen said. "It was important to us to celebrate all the years we’d already had together (and all the ups and downs, joy, growing up and hard work in that!) rather than acting as if the wedding was the start. So that was part of the message on our invitations, and we got the Registrar to frame the ceremony that way in her welcome – a celebration of 8 and a half happy years and the witnessing of our next step together."

Ahh the circus! So colourful, so fun, such a perfect theme for an alternative wedding! Tamara and Chip's Florida wedding was a true DIY labour of love. They did almost everything themselves. "We are both light-hearted and fun people, so we wanted our day to feel like a party with our family and friends", explained the bride. "We are not stiff and formal, but love vibrancy and uniqueness! Our whimsical circus theme fit perfectly with how we wanted our wedding day to feel."

Kat

February 7, 2014

Boys, why are you so difficult to buy for? Gareth either never wants anything, or does but it's mega expensive or techy. I usually end up getting him a bottle of whiskey and something full of sugar. But fret not, I've scoured Etsy from top to bottom and unearthed these treasures that are sure to keep even the fussiest of dudes happy this Valentines day.

What could be a better excuse for some Etsy browsing than the most romantic day of the year (allegedly!) being just around the corner? If I'm being totally honest, this is just a ploy to leave some not so subtle hints to Gareth for some cute little gift ideas. I can but try...

Etsy Christmas Gift Guide: Skulls

Kat

December 13, 2013

If there's one thing in competition for my love of all things sparkly, its anything with a skull on it... much to my mother and my husband's dismay! I'm not sure where this slightly macabre fascination came from but if there's something in a shop in the shape of a skull I am instantly drawn to it.

Edgy and Elegant Phoenix Hotel Wedding: Evan & Catherine

Kat

Encarnacion

December 9, 2013

Evan and Catherine were married at the iconic Phoenix Hotel in San Francisco and their reception was at the super cool Chambers Eat + Drink. They wanted a wedding that was edgy yet elegant - just like them! The venues they chose really helped to set that mood. "After a long search for wedding venues, we were feeling uninspired", Catherine began. "Pricey and cookie cutter was the theme for most of the spaces we looked at. We needed to find a place that inspired not only us but our guests."
