Etsy Love!
Etsy, Etsy, Etsy…oh how we love thee! A must for the Eco-Beautiful bride, is constantly expanding its online marketplace to bring stylish, handcrafted loveliness to wedding celebrations.
If you are already a fan of the Etsy site, like us, you’ve probably dreamed of an opportunity to walk through a space filled with all things Etsy. Well, we heard through the green grapevine that some very lucky folks will have a chance to do just that. This Saturday, Etsy is hosting “To Have & To Hold”, its first weddings event for brides and grooms in NYC! Attendees can meet and greet with some of Etsy’s featured artisans, and be inspired by their amazing creations (like the origami bouquet from NewZLynn pictured above).
We can’t wait to see what Etsy has up their sleeve for this event! Stay tuned, because of course we’ll have to share! In the meantime, check out their Weddings shop for the latest in handmade items.
