Why Etsy Is Your Wedding Shopping Best Friend During Coronavirus https://bridalmusings.com/165699/shop-small-on-etsy-during-coronavirus/ https://bridalmusings.com/165699/shop-small-on-etsy-during-coronavirus/#respond Thu, 16 Jul 2020 18:11:34 +0000 https://bridalmusings.com/?p=165699 As some of you know, my husband & I moved to Portland last Fall & we were gleeful with how many small businesses would suit our needs from now on: local beauty products, decorations, plants, vintage furniture, handmade dresses & linens – everything we needed to start a new home we could buy from a small business in our neighborhood.

Then Coronavirus happened. And like many of you planning weddings, we had to shift buying nearly all necessities (aside from food & thankfully flowers!) online. My plans to shop small & shop local were thwarted – I felt so defeated – then I remembered our Bridal Musings bestie, Etsy!

Whether you're searching for your dream wedding dress, bridesmaid dresses, engagement & wedding rings, wedding favors, stationery, linens, ribbons, signage, lighting or decor, Etsy has literally everything you could want in handmade & vintage form for your wedding.

So, even if your favorite neighborhood shops you planned to source from are temporarily closed or worse, out of business, you can still “shop small” and support artisans & small businesses thanks to Etsy‘s massive platform of creative entrepreneurs.

Better yet, if you still want to support your local community you can specify “shop location” in the filters as you shop to find local artisans in your area.

To inspire you, I decided to pick a trending theme & show how literally everything you need is on Etsy (& chic & affordable!)

20 Amazing Wedding Vendors Who Give Back https://bridalmusings.com/160165/wedding-vendors-who-give-back/ https://bridalmusings.com/160165/wedding-vendors-who-give-back/#respond Mon, 27 Jan 2020 08:00:34 +0000 https://bridalmusings.com/?p=160165 We get it — wedding planning can be mega-stressful and downright expensive. Did you know that the average wedding in 2019 cost between $29k and $31k? If that number makes you dizzy, consider the ways you might be able to funnel some of that cash toward a meaningful cause.

Your big day can make a big impact! We’ve rounded-up 20 vendors & designers who give back and maybe help you feel a little less guilty about that hefty price tag.

Fashion

Loulette Bride – A Brooklyn bridal designer who gives back in so many ways, from using compostable garment bags, to using fair and ethical labor, to planting a tree in a bride’s name for every gown sold. Beyond being eco-friendly, they choose one gown every season whose proceeds will go to a themed charity — for example, 5% of sales from their Queen Bee collection are donated to the Honeybee Conservancy.

Plum Pretty Sugar – We’ve gushed over the bridal and bridesmaid wares of Plum Pretty Sugar for a while now, but did you know they run a buy-one-give-one program too? Another reason to love them! For every piece purchased, PPS will donate another piece to women in need and domestic abuse survivors.

Brides for a Cause – This PNW-based wedding dress re-sale business sells gently worn gowns for charity in their Seattle, Tacoma & Portland boutiques. Their give-back program has recycled over 15,000 dresses and given over $1,000,000 to charities that support women.

Brides Do Good – is a UK bridal re-sale business supporting worldwide projects that empower young girls and their communities. Check out their projects page to see the impact their initiatives have made around the globe.

Jewelry

MiaDonna – If you know the struggle of finding ethically-sourced engagement rings, then you’ll appreciate MiaDonna, a “foundation-first” Portland-based wedding jeweler that specializes in conflict-free, lab-grown diamonds and gemstones. A minimum of 10% of their net profit is donated to “educational, mentorship, agricultural, and urgent relief programs in diamond mining communities through The Greener Diamond Foundation.”

Do Amore – “Choose a ring, build a well.” Sales of the stunning, ethical rings at Do Amore do just that: provide clean water to a community in need.

Photographers

Corinne Graves – An Alaska-based destination wedding photographer, Corinne Graves donates a percentage of proceeds to an animal sanctuary every year. This year she is giving all donations to the Elephant Nature Park in Northern Thailand.

Claire Eliza – Our own managing editor & destination wedding photographer, Claire Eliza shares Corinne's passion for wildlife & environmental causes, too! Each year Claire chooses a charity to donate a percentage of every wedding photography package like Gray Wolf conservationists Defenders of Wildlife and efforts to save big cats from extinction with the African Wildlife Foundation.

Stationery

Stationery by Bella Figura

Paperlust – This Australian wedding invitation company has joined forces with One Tree Planted to support reforestation efforts. For every order made through Paperlust, one tree is planted in Borneo, Indonesia to restore fire-ravaged areas around Tanjung Puting National Park.

Greenvelope – Speaking of trees, Greenvelope is a Seattle-based, eco-friendly, online invitation company that donates a percentage of every sale to Mountains to Sound, a PNW non-profit focused on conserving and enhancing the natural landscape of Washington State.

Bella Figura – If online invites aren’t your thing, check out Bella Figura’s “green” stationery — they’ve implemented a ton of sustainable techniques, from vegetable-based and organic inks, to recycled packaging materials, to 100% tree-free Bella Cotton and Bella Smooth Cotton papers. They also donate one percent of sales to different environmental organizations.

Cards for Causes – Don’t forget thank you cards! Order through Cards for Causes and 20% of your order’s revenue will be donated to a charity of your choice.

Florals & Decor

Rebloom – Forget wasteful centerpieces you’ll never see again — at Rebloom you can buy recycled and re-vamped centerpieces from local events and then choose a charity to receive a large portion of the proceeds.

Repeat Roses– Or be the good yourself, donating your flowers to Repeat Roses who will retrieve flowers from your wedding day and repurpose them into beautiful arrangements for hospital, cancer-center & hospice care patients in your community. And to double-down on their do-gooder status, the organization later collects & composts the twice-loved bouquets.

Vaseful – An online floral vendor, Vaseful's stunning floral arrangements are hand-crafted by men and women with disabilities.

Planning

New Creations Wedding Design & Coordination – A women-owned Seattle-based wedding planning business that donates a portion of their service fee to your choice of their pre-selected charities listed here.

LLG Events – Every year international luxury wedding planner, LLG Events, put together an incredible team of vendors to gift a pro-bono dream wedding to a couple in need, and they are currently accepting nominations for this year's LLG Gifted couple here.

Registry

Honeyfund – So maybe you’re struggling with a registry because you have everything you need — lucky you! Set up a cash fund through web-based registries like Honeyfund which allow you to donate a percentage of gifts received to a cause of your choice.

The Knot Gifts Back – The program partners with more than 100 charities that receive a donation each time a guest buys a gift from your registry.

SoKind – If you’re anything like me and thought of more “stuff” filling the house gives you anxiety, look no further than SoKind. SoKind is an alternative gift registry that lets guests gift you experiences, second-hand goods, handmade items, and charitable donations.

What To Write In A Wedding Card: 100+ Message Ideas https://bridalmusings.com/189044/wedding-card-messages-what-to-write/ Sun, 06 Nov 2022 16:08:40 +0000 https://bridalmusings.com/?p=189044

When it comes to writing a wedding card message, it isn't as easy as it seems. Most people feel at a loss for words when it comes to writing something heartfelt, meaningful, or entertaining. But don't worry, we've got you covered!

In this post, we'll give you over 100 wedding card message ideas. Whether you're looking for something classic or something more contemporary, something for your son or something for your father, we've got you covered.

So get ready to put your pen to paper (or your keyboard to screen) and start writing those wedding wishes!

How to Write a Wedding Card Message

There are five key parts to think about when writing a wedding card message:

  1. Congratulate the couple: Firstly, give your congratulations to the happy couple in your wedding card message! 
  2. Wish them both the best for the future: A one or two liner, wishing them a great life ahead.
  3. Share a memory: Think back to a cherished memory you shared with the bride or groom. It could be from childhood, a funny story from when you first met, or a recent memory of a shared adventure. 
  4. Thank them: Thank them for their hospitality, for the invitation, for the celebration, for being them!
  5. Appropriate sign-off: Pick the right sign-off (we’ve included some options below), and remember to leave your name! Not initials. 

What to Consider When Writing a Wedding Card Message

  • Write from the heart: Your wedding card message will mean so much more if it comes from a place of sincerity. Talk about your favorite memory of the couple or what you admire about them. Say something personal that will make them smile.
  • Please don't make it overly risqué. Try to keep it clean no matter how close you are to the bride or groom. Both of them will be reading this.
  • Keep it short and sweet: Shorter is often better because it shows that you put some thought into what you wanted to say without rambling on.
  • Write the card to the couple: It's likely to be read by both!
  • Don't write a novel. As much as you may want to express your excitement and share a story or two, keep your wedding card message short and sweet. Wedding cards usually don't allow for a lot of space, so if you do have a lot to say, it is best to save it for a personal letter or email.
  • Plan and take your time: It'll be obvious it's rushed, and you could end up with a card you're just not happy with
  • Try and include some of your personality: Ideally, they'll know the message is from you without even seeing who signed it off
  • Wish them a long and happy life together: This is a given, but it bears repeating. Wishing the couple a lifetime of happiness is always a nice touch. They'll appreciate hearing your good wishes for their future together.
  • Spell their names correctly: Including the wrong spelling in a card ruins the rest of the card.
  • Don't bring up any drama, whether now or historic: It's not the right time! :) 
  • Don't be negative: And as with drama, negativity doesn't belong in a wedding card.
