One of my bridesmaid's introduced me to Etsy. I'd never used the site, but it is addictive and is full of fantastic wedding items. I'd been trying to decide what to do about the Guest Book- do we do a traditional one or Wedding Mad-Libs? I'd been looking on Amazon.com for guest books, but most were fairly plain or covered in white satin (which isn't really our thing). However, I found tons of "rustic" guest book options on Etsy, many of which were under $40:
I won't tell you which one we chose, because we want it to be a surprise. We also found lots of cake topper options. I'd always thought I'd want this cake topper:
BUT it doesn't really go with cupcakes, and frankly, the characters could use some modernization. Etsy to the rescue (I won't say which one we picked, but there is obviously a theme going on here):
In other news, David's Bridal alterations screwed up my dress. Nothing that isn't fixable, but definitely annoying. I had asked to have it hemmed, and when I went in for my fitting today, I found that their hem of the lower layers of my dress (which they did by pulling up the center rather than just hemming at the bottom) left a lovely line across my bum. It was like they had just rolled up part of the lining and sewn it there, leaving a lump which was plainly visible beneath the outer layer of my dress. At least the really nice alterations lady noticed it even before I did and was very annoyed at the person who had done the alterations. She told me they would have it fixed by the 8th, 10 days before my wedding. I'm in no way a Bridezilla, but if it isn't done right next time, I may get a bit upset- I paid $120 for a simple hem, and frankly, since all they do is alter wedding dresses, they should be able to do a simple hem correctly.
