Wedding Ideas - Etsy #3

Thanksgiving is past us and we're in full-on celebration mode! And you know what that means: it's time for our annual gift guide! This year, we're sharing our favorite items from our holiday wish list. From the newlyweds to the beer lover, we hope our 2015 Etsy holiday gift guide has the perfect present for everyone on your list!

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.

Happy Halloween everybody! We hope you guys are having a good one, and have lots of tricks, treats and fun planned for the weekend ahead? Elizabeth and I were chatting this morning about how we don't tend to think of weddings and Halloween as something that necessarily go together.

This post features offbeat affiliates, meaning that if you buy something featured, you'll be financially supporting this site's mission of bringing awesomeness to readers everywhere. Back in Feburary, I did a post about handmade shoes on Etsy. Etsy being what Etsy is, things come and go, so I figured the time was ripe to do a new round-up of Etsy wedding shoes...

I'm in a celebratory mood today because we just cracked 50,000 likes on the Rock n Roll Bride Facebook page. You guys are awesome! To celebrate I've partnered up with the fabulous Etsy to give one lucky blog reader a £50 voucher to spend on their amazing website. Happy Christmas to YOU!

Last week, we started a brand new feature, our Etsy Find of the Week. (Any excuse to spend more time perusing bespoke wedding dresses and gorgeous stationery!) We've curated the most awesome haven of all of our very favourite things, on our Bridal Musings Etsy page - and it's growing all the time, with our latest picks from across the site.

Posted: When starting the search for the perfect wedding dress, most brides round up the ladies, make sure the strapless bra is on, and start hitting the bridal boutiques. While the initial excitement of trying on wedding dresses is a given, after you try on that 17th wedding dress...

Green gold and pink sapphire dragon ring (check out the rest of their rings too, they are insanely good!) You'd be surprised at how many emails I get from boys about to pop the question, always asking me the same thing: where can they find an alternative engagement ring?

Anyone planning a wedding nowadays will have heard of Etsy and there's a reason why. It has everything you could possibly want for planning your wedding from wedding favours, stationery to wedding dresses. Each week/fortnight I'll be rounding up a few of my favourite themed finds that I think are unique, interesting or just simply fun!...

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.

Finding the perfect wedding invitation can be tricky. You want it to set the scene for your guests so they get a little feel for what the big day will be like. You also want it to reflect your taste and aesthetic as a couple...its tough to figure out where to start.

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.
