We love the Do-It-Yourself trend! Homemade details and knick-knacks with special meaning for a couple are our FAVORITE. If you’re like us then you’ve probably heard of Etsy?

Etsy is a virtual marketplace for all sorts of handmade goodies. Anyone can start a shop on Etsy and sell art, jewelry, clothes, vintage items and the list goes on. It’s an awesome place to find all sorts of stuff for your home and for your wedding.

What you might not have heard of is the virtual marketplace that is specifically for weddings; Wedzu. Wedzu is like the sister to Etsy made for brides! Designers on Wedzu are dedicated to helping brides make the perfect stationary, bridesmaid’s dresses and invitations.

The editors are awesome and they post fun, new vendors on the blog every few days. You can search different categories like jewelry, honeymoon, beauty and more. Check out these beautiful veils from Sibo Designs! It’s so much fun to browse around… enjoy!

After living in Seattle I just can’t shake my love of all things Nordstrom. I was recently down at the Park Meadows store and discovered the Wedding Suite. The Suite carries a number of lines from different designers with a price range of $160 to $3,300. Plus on top of your gown they can help you with bridesmaid dresses, suits for the men, and accessories.

This dress is by Tadashi Shoji. Just gorgeous and only $548.

This simple textured gown from Nicole Miller is also fabulous!

And my personal favorite …

from Carmen Marc Valvo.

Wrapped up in that little blue box is the new Tiffany Grace collection.  The collection features princess-cut and round brilliant diamonds bezel-set in platinum.

The tiara sparkles with an open pattern of circles and squares that would top off a gown with gorgeous.

Tennis champion Maria Sharapova wore these diamond drop earrings from the collection at the 2011 US Open.  If only I could wear something like this while exercising- it would make it all worth it!

You can find this beautiful collection at your Tiffany’s store or online!

“A woman truly feels beautiful when she recognizes that she is exquisite the way she already is: a wonderful, unique, and exceptional individual.” – Yuliya Raquel, owner and designer of IGIGI.

I was recently watching a rerun of Say Yes to the Dress: Big Bliss, and couldn’t help feeling so upset for the bride who couldn’t find a dress that fit her properly. It got me to thinking about designers who specialize in dresses for the curvy bride, and I came across Yuliya Raquel’s IGIGI designs which can be found in several stores across the country. Not only does she make everything from everyday wear to bridal gowns, but her designs are SUPER cute and it’s featured on real plus-sized models!

Take a look at what she offers.
