Etsy Eye Candy: For the Love of Turquoise!

Turquoise ahh turquoise (swoon) … Is there anything not to love about turquoise? Right.  I didn’t think so either. Whatever season you’re wedding is held in, there must be room to squeeze this color in somewhere … Hmm? It can be paired with a number of different colors and create an entirely different look with each.

Turquoise and brown. Turquoise and Red. Turquoise and peach. Turquoise and yellow. Turquoise and white.  Love, love, love it all!

It can be used as your main wedding color or in little accents throughout the day.  Maybe its your something blue!  So, where do you shop for all your turquoise wedding needs?? If you’re into handmade and supporting small businesses, Etsy should be the first stop on your search!  Here are some examples of lovely turquoise wedding items found on Etsy … Enjoy!

Framing Your Face

Photo booths have been a widely growing trend in the wedding business and are a great way for guests to interact. It’s an activity that guests can have fun with and entertain themselves during the cocktail hour and the wedding reception.

Sadly, many couples don’t enjoy the luxury of having a wedding photo booth because of their budget. Not to worry! By using such a simple idea as a picture frame, you can create a fun and budget friendly photo booth of your own!

An inexpensive picture frame, some fun props and a digital camera is all you need to create your very own photo booth without breaking the bank. This is such a cute idea for your wedding and so inexpensive, you might want to have a photo booth at every party you host in the future!

Real Wedding: Larissa & Damien

Today’s real wedding, set in the foothills of Georgia, is intimate and sweet … filled with soft pinks and taupes for a vintage inspired look.  Larissa and Damien were married in a private ceremony with only their closest friends and family members at the Tallulah Gorge – where Damien proposed.

Crazy for Cockscomb!

I know what you’re thinking–what is cockscomb and why did I just giggle?! Well, its not anything dirty, in fact, its actually a really pretty flower also known as “Brain Celosia” and its the perfect addition to bouquets and centerpieces. Cockscomb is available January-February, and July-October depending where you live and if it can be grown locally (It may be even more available than I just listed if you find a local growing source). It looks great in a fall bouquet and comes in yellow, light green, dark red, rusty orange, ivory and dark pink. Here are some examples of this brain-like velvety flower in action!
