I have long been a fan of Etsy for its incredible choice of beautiful handmade items – both mine and Mr Rigg’s wedding rings (engagement and his wedding band) came from Etsy sellers around the world.  In the past I have featured all kinds of wedding goodies from Etsy sellers, but now Etsy has launched a fabulous new feature for brides- and grooms-to-be.

The brand new Etsy Weddings website allows you to find the latest weddings trends, how-to’s, expert advice and inspirational stories from real couples.  They have also launched the Etsy Wedding Registry, so you can put together a wedding gift list from all the fabulous independent Etsy sellers around the world.

If like me, you’re already signed up to the Etsy newsletter you’ll know that they pull together some great trends and styles, so I’m so thrilled that they’re now offering this kind of expertise especially for weddings.  I was delighted to see Edwardian Charm and Victorian Rings among the first inspiration boards Etsy have showcased, fulfilling my love of these older eras.  I’m so excited to see what comes next!

By chosing Etsy for your wedding gift list, you not only get beautiful items that you love and adore, but you are also supporting independent and creative businesses, as Georgina Blain from Etsy Weddings told me, “putting your money where your heart is.”

So, who’s going to be creating their wedding gift list with Etsy?  I’m super jealous and wish this had been available to us when we got married!
