If you’re a fan of paper like myself then you’re bound to love these gorgeous finds!  There are so many ways to make your wedding special and unique so I’d like to share a few examples with you.  Instead of candles why not use paper lanterns?  Instead of real flowers try using some beautiful paper ones.  Paper is so versatile and these are just some examples of how it can be used to create gorgeous and functional wedding day accessories!

We’ve always been a huge fan of Tessa Kim’s beautiful vintage inspired bridal line so we thought we’d share her new 2011 line with you!

Most of her 2011 items are based around a floral theme.  Each flower is hand shaped and hand painted to give you a truly unique and beautiful accessory.  To compliment these beautiful flowers, almost every piece has a vintage aspect incorporated into it including 1920′s and 1950′s velvet leaves, stamens and even silk.  The colour theme is based around pretty blushes, champagnes and creams.  Not getting married?  Tessa Kim also has a line of non bridal items for you!

As always she accepts custom orders, you may check out her website here or check out her Etsy store here.

I had the pleasure of meeting Deb a couple of years back through Etsy and she has become a great friend. Not only is she a wonderful person who has inspired me beyond words but I’m completely in love with her jewelry.  Her unique vintage inspired style would look beautiful on any bride.  Deb uses a variety of different materials from sterling silver, gold, semi-precious gemstones and other high quality materials.  She also accepts custom orders so if you can dream it up I’m positive Deb can make it into a beautiful reality!

In her own words;

“My design style is contemporary with an old world flair. These designs are very personal and are inspired by life, love, and the beauty of the Berkshire Mountains that surround me and where I make my home.
My process for creating many of my pieces is to think about a memory, thought, or story, and then ask myself what that would look like if it were a design. Then I gather the elements together to bring that design to life. I like to call this process emotion-based design.”

Check out her beautiful Etsy store here.

Beautiful vintage inspired jewelry for the beautiful bride!

I’ve been a fan of norakaren on Etsy for a long time now.  Her hand painted wedding shoes are so unique that they are sure to make a statement on your special day.  There are so many design selections available in her store that you will be spoiled for choice and she also takes custom orders so if you have something particular in mind it can be done!  If you’re looking for that wonderful unique accessory to compliment your inner diva then I highly suggest having a look at Nora’s wonderful store for some awe inspiring shoe ideas, shoe lovers beware!

Nora studied graphic and fashion design in Argentina and her passion for painting was inspired by her father who had a love for life and art.  Her work is defined by colour, shine, glitters and fashion styles and she’s inspired by graphic elements found in nature and icons in every new design.  In her own words;

“In 2009 I started a new line of hand painted shoes and it has been a complete success.  I found these creations to be loved by brides and peacock themed weddings and it is my honor and pleasure to leave a piece of me in everyone of this events and it is an honor to participate in some way in one of the most important days of the woman life.”

Ooh la la, pretty shoes by norakaren on Etsy!

Check out these incredible bridal shoes from HydraHeart on Etsy. Each of her products are constructed from original patterns that was hand drafted. All of her products are vegan and earth friendly.
I think these are such a great option when picking a comfortable flat for your wedding. The last thing you want is sore feet, especially with the weight of a wedding dress.
I also particularly love the blue bridal flats what a cute way to incorporate ‘something blue’ into your wedding.
Check out her store for more beautiful products!
