Thanks Kimberly — and I got married in 1997 and it would have been so much more difficult to find the people doing this great work back then!

Wow, I love your blog! It is very important that we support each others trades. I think it is so great that you are promoting the importance of this. I will keep checking back for new updates. I got married 8 years ago and made a few things for my wedding. The resources that are available today are endless. Have a beautiful day!

Your ideas are beautiful, THe looks are so unique and will stand out in their minds for a long time, I love the individual jewelry, It tells each person that they are special and you cared enough to do something just for them, I have been married 32 years to my wonderful husband/best friend and we did a lot of individual items also, we still get compliments when they look through our wedding book,

Best of luck to you,

Kristin–this is great! I pulled some of it into my collection-o-wedding ideas so I can come back to it as I plan. I especially LOVE the hat veil. That's what I want for my wedding, but I was yet to find a photo that really captured it. This one is totally captures the look/spirit I was imagining. I adore it. Thanks for sharing this…and also for helping me! :) You're the awesomest.

Hi Erin! I got married 7 years ago and it wasn't the rage then either, although I did do a bunch of stuff myself. Still, I wish there had been all of these great options then! That is a great thought, having all of your bridesmaids wear different jewelry or even different dresses! And what a genius idea for brides – you can give your bridesmaids jewelry that fits their personality and their dress and they will love you even more for the thoughtfulness! Thanks for sharing your ideas, Erin!

Hi Kristin-
I wish that handmade had been the rage 17 years ago when I got married! I did make my own veil, and individual frames for the bridesmaids as a gift, but I love all the options there are for brides these days. My favorite option is jewelry (since that is what I do) but I didn't do it then. Instead of looking at your bridesmaids as a veritable army all dressed the same, why not celebrate their individuality and the personality that drew you to be friends in the first place by having custom made jewelry designed for each girl? I refuse to make cookie cutter ensembles. The best wedding I ever did was for the bride, her 8 bridesmaids and 3 special friends. Each girl was different so each necklace/earring ensemble was different, but all in the same color palette/gemstones of chocolate and pool blue. Great array of items you found! Thanks for sharing! Enjoy the day!
