I’m Claire, and as I’m knee-deep in wedding planning, I’ve become obsessed with Etsy. My fiancé and I have ticked off the big tasks – florist booked, band confirmed, and menu decided – so now we’re focusing on the fun stuff. We’re talking small favours, quirky touches, cool decor, and my personal favourite, bridal accessories! With Etsy being an online marketplace for artisans, crafters, and DIY suppliers to sell their wares, it’s a treasure trove of gorgeous buys for your special day. As someone who’s been using Etsy for years for gift and craft supply shopping (my fiancé even bought my engagement ring on the platform!), I was bound to turn to it for wedding inspiration too. In fact, I’ve been curating my own Etsy ‘favourites’ list for years, just waiting for the perfect moment to start shopping. The beauty of using Etsy is that you can choose to shop locally, supporting small businesses and local artisans while enjoying faster shipping and no added tax. What I love most about Etsy is how easy it is to order unique, bespoke, creative touches for your wedding without the hassle of quotes, confirmations, or samples. With reviews readily available, customisable options at your fingertips, and an easy way to contact vendors with questions, Etsy makes shopping a breeze. And who doesn’t love ticking off those pesky wedding tasks? If you’re anything like me, you’ll appreciate having the ability to order unique touches for your big day without breaking a sweat.
Send-Off Sparklers
There’s something about the whimsical charm of sparklers at weddings that has me utterly smitten. They have a knack for capturing breathtaking moments and creating unforgettable send-offs or adding a touch of magic to those first dance photos. However, unlit sparklers can sometimes appear less than visually appealing – especially when left on tables for guests. This is where Wedding Box What Nots’ ingenious gold sparklers in rustic brown boxes from their Etsy shop come into play. They offer a stylish, effortless, and budget-friendly solution to create a truly memorable moment on your special day.
Pretty Pom Poms
Add a whimsical touch to your wedding with Pompom Blossom’s stunning hand-dyed paper flowers! This Etsy shop creates oversized blooms that can be used to create a show-stopping top table display, photo booth prop, or even a romantic ceremony backdrop. Hang them from the marquee ceiling for a truly magical atmosphere. While pom pom decor remains popular, Pompom Blossom’s unique twist adds texture and romance to any space.
Custom Vows Prints
The charm of Luna Haze Design’s custom prints lies in their ability to beautifully capture the essence of your wedding vows. Whether used on your special day or displayed proudly in your home, these keepsakes are treasured mementos that celebrate your love and commitment. Not only do they make lovely gifts, but they also encourage couples to take a moment to reflect on their vows beforehand, eliminating last-minute stress. And the best part? These prints are easily printable at home, making them an effortless choice for a spontaneous wedding gift.
Wedding Stationery
When planning your wedding stationery, you might be surprised by how much time it can take. However, Etsy offers a streamlined process that makes it easier than expected. With clear pricing, lead times, and color options, you have more control over the final product while still allowing for personal touches. Plus, you get to proof everything before it’s printed.We’re huge fans of The Lovely Drawer, an Etsy stationer that boasts a vast array of designs, from rustic and whimsical to bright and modern. Each piece features luxurious finishes and handcrafted details, giving your stationery a unique, bespoke feel without the hassle of commissioning custom work.
Bold Balloons
As we’ve showcased several real weddings featuring gold balloons in recent blog posts, it’s clear that they bring an undeniable air of festivity to any celebration. If you’re concerned that your special day may be missing that celebratory atmosphere, look no further than Inspired Company 4U on Etsy, where you’ll find a vibrant array of bright and punchy balloon options to instantly elevate the ambiance of your event.
