I Bought My Heart on Etsy.com

For those who like things done a little differently, like this I wanted to let you know that Etsy is amazing. I located and purchased our hand forged (yes we found a blacksmith) matching wedding bands on Etsy. Etsy seems to be the new frontier on handmade, personal, unique or just weird gifts, jewelry, house wares and even clothes.

Say, you're a nerd like me, but not just any nerd, oh no, you like comic books, zombies, cartoons and vintage Hawaiian stuff. Let's say you want your groom to have something small but unique. Why not Tiki cufflinks?
Like This  or a Futurama themed cake topper like this?


On Etsy, it would appear whatever weird fantasy or habit or hobby you like to indulge in you can find something for your wedding that will suit your taste. Even a Cthulhu pin for your "something green." I could spend hours on Etsy pouring over their vintage dresses, steam punk lockets and dare I let my nerd show with mentioning Star Trek earrings.

Whatever you're into, whatever you want to do to make your wedding stand out, you can probably get a head start by simply browsing through all the unique items. Even if it's stuff not as weird as my tastes. If you want an environmentally safe wedding like button bouquets or seed confetti, I guarantee you, it's on there. From elegant gifts for the wedding party to zombie inspired damask necklaces. Etsy is one online shopping center after my own heart - weird, handmade, unique goodness.
