How about personalized etched glasses for your soiree ?!
There were several amazing designers offering custom gowns.
As well as a collection of vintage gowns courtesy of Garage34.
I may have overwhelmed this sweet gal {Jenny Bryant} who was modeling this intriguing dress. I was touching her gown and begging for the details. I first thought it was a tablecloth, but she explained that it was a collection of individual vintage doilies and handkerchiefs {!!}
The idea was the brainchild of Kendra Foskey, owner of Garage34 and Hitched Handmade. A simple vintage green velvet dress was the underdress and then dozens of collected crocheted pretties were attached, first to each other and then on top of the green dress. Jenny's mom was the talented seamstress and she completed it in only 2 days! She sweetly lifted every layer {4 in all} to show me the construction and the bits of tulle to give it just a bit of lift. And look at the little hanky-turned-tiny-train tucked under the velvet bow on her rear.
{Thank-you, Jenny, for letting me grope your stunning dress!}
Not to be left out, there was plenty for the gentlemen--custom bow ties, cuff links, belts and more.
There were tons of stationary and letterpress companies.
These books were cleared out of their original stories and the bindings were filled instead with plain papers. These would make a great guest book.
So many great decor ideas. I have seen the beautiful wares from The Little Canopy on many well known wedding blogs and it was fun to meet the very modest couple in person.
You are looking at a curtain of hand made paper flowers. A kazillion layered detailed hand-shaped stunning flowers that are individually hot glued onto fabric to create a curtain backdrop! Any shape or size that you want! And to the right are silk petals that were threaded to create a petal curtain. Seriously stunning.
How about skipping the plain white rented dishes and instead using an eclectic mix of vintage dishes, linens, and party decor for your event. There are a few wonderful new companies that are renting lovely curated vintage items.
My lunch consisted of delicious sweets and appetizers.
And for those always a bridesmaid gals that showed up, there was a little help from the love bride.
My swag bag was full of candles, bath salts, custom ale, sweets, wedding music, coasters, hairpins, cards and wonderful business cards and connections.
If you are looking for a ceremony spot, my little part of the mountains offers a beautiful spot to say your 'i-do's'.
