I Thee Wed...Preppy Style

Planning a wedding?  Etsy seems to be a must for brides these days, especially since the bride-to-be can work directly with sellers, artists and designers to have items customized to their needs.  Below, you will see a number of wedding and bridal items that I recently found on etsy. I felt as though they just had to be shared!

 I'm starting with the item that prompted this post...the monogrammed veil from jfyBride. This veil makes me want to get married all over again!





This BEAUTIFUL monogrammed veil is available from jfy Bride.  Below is another example of her monograms.



As luck would have it, our friend Lynn of L. Whelan Designs has a new line of bow ties made with Lilly Pulitzer fabric. If you haven't been to her shop already, you might want to stop by, her craftsmanship is amazing and her eye for color is delightful. I've been eyeing her aprons forever!

Now, a few bridal items from my etsy shop: Looking 4 Lilly. These are all made with vintage Lilly Pulitzer fabric. They would qualify as "something old".
Vintage Lilly Pulitzer fabric stemmed rosettes from Looking 4 Lilly. These are made to add a touch of Lilly to the bridal bouquet.  Give them to your wedding florist and they'll take it from there.

For absolutely beautiful jewelry from a seller who knows all about preppy style, visit Caroline Grace Jewelry . This designer has an amazing talent for combining elegance, beauty and simplicity (with an added touch of sparkle). She uses only the finest materials, which is why she is such a great find for brides.

Of course these "Save the Date"  magnet cards caught my eye. They are by Anna Murray Invitations. She has numerous patterns from which to choose.

Last but not least...if you're going to get dressed up and have a celebration, make sure everyone is dressed in their best. These are perfect for engagement photos that include your best friend. This collar is from Pinky's Pet Gear. This happens to be one of my favorite etsy shops, as well as one of my favorite etsy sellers. Take a look at her adorable collars and preppy key fobs.
