Remember the post I had a few days ago, featuring an awesome dress from Etsy? (Here!).
They're handmade by Coralie Beatrix and just stunning.
Well, I've really been looking into it further. At first I just thought it was a pretty dress. But, the more I'm looking at it, the more I'm loving it. Let me tell you why.
1. It's convertible. It can be worn a ton of different ways. And, I mean a TON.
Here's a few examples of the tops. Keep in mind, these are all the SAME dress, just tied differently.
2. It would be perfect for the mismatched bridesmaid look. Each girl could tie their dress differently, but they would all be cohesive because, essentially, they're the same dress!
3. They come in long and short and both are just awesome.
4. They come in a one size fits most deal (size 2-12). If you are small, you just wrap your dress more times. So, it wouldn't be a huge hassle fitting everybody.
5. If it's too long, or you don't like the length, you just cut off the bottom where you want it. The fabric doesn't need a hem.
6. They claim to be super flattering on every body shape, which would be great. Each girl could just find a way to wear it that flatters them, and wear it that way.
7. They're not very expensive! $79 for a short dress, $99 for a long one.
So, what to do, what to do.....I think I might order one for myself. Then I can play around with it and see if I like it. Plus, all the other girls could try it on too! Which one do you like best?? Long? Short? Which color?

Etsy Finds Part II
I think it's time to feature another round of gorgeous Etsy items! I absolutely adore Etsy and all of the creative professionals that spend their time and energy creating one-of-a-kind items for us to buy. It's the perfect place to go for wedding shopping. You'll find pieces that are unique, special, and oh-so-creative. Trust me, your head will be swimming with all of the wonderful things you'll find. I can literally spend my entire day (and paycheck) on there! Go check out Etsy today and see what you can find.
In the meantime, check out some of my favorite items at the moment.
1.Here's a to-die-for headwreath by Blue Orchid Floral. I love this for the whimsical bride who wants to feel like a woodland fairy. With this beautiful headpiece, you'll look like something straight out of a fairytale.
2. I adore the simplicity of this monogrammed cake topper by Better Off Wed. The wood is so pretty and would go well with an outdoorsy, vintage, or rustic-chic style wedding. Plus, it's easily customizable!
3. I love banners. They're funky and fun and have a vintage-flair to them. There are tons of different ones out there, but why not shop for them in one spot? Funky Shique has a huge variety of hand-made, customizable banners that are all so effortlessly cool.
4. I swear, I am in love with this dress. Coralie Beatrix is a genius. The dress is just so soft and feminine and looks like it would be flattering on any body type. In fact, this dress is completely convertible so it can be worn in an endless amount of ways to fit each of the girls in your bridal party. How awesome is that?
5. This headpiece is kind of a gasp-er. By that, I mean that I literally gasped out-loud when I saw it. Holy Toledo, it has more bling than a rapper's grill. I just can't stop looking at it. Thank you Myra Kim for such a beautiful creation.
6. This bouquet by Really Bad Kitty is so stunning. It's simple and elegant and unique at the same time. It's made of satin and vintage/antique buttons; a beautiful combo! It's different than just a plain satin bouquet, or an entirely-button bouquet. I think it's a great mix. And, you could keep it forever, a definite bonus! I'm pretty sure I could look at it for the rest of my life and never get sick of it.
