Everybody Needs Etsy

Everyone Needs Etsy!

I am always a little shocked when I come across people who still don't know what Etsy is, and so in doing this post I hope to spread a little Etsy-love and show a few of the amazing ways you can use Etsy for your wedding needs.

Etsy is, essentially, an online craft fair where crafty people like you and me are able to set up shop and sell their handmade items to anyone in the world. When searching Etsy, there are over 30 main categories to choose from, anywhere from art to candles to crochet to music to woodworking. "Weddings" has its very own category also, where you can find anything from accessories to favors. I looked through the wedding section and picked out a few seller's stores to feature in this post. I looked for products that were unique and eye catching, as well as looking well made. I also only chose seller's with 100% positive feedback ratings. By purchasing some of your wedding items from Etsy, you are helping support independant artists and also coming away with a unique product that will really stand out at your big day. Also, many times artists are willing to make custom changes, a perk you usually don't receive from mass produced goods. So take a look, and also remember to check out the thousands of other artists selling their creations on Etsy!
