    Wedding planning should be fun and we love using Etsy throughout the planning process! As soon as the proposal happens and you place that engagement ring on your hand you are a bride to be. Let the planning begin!

    In this wedding planning blog series, we are talking all things Etsy and weddings. More specifically, the in's and out's of how to plan your wedding using Etsy and what you need to know about using the world's best handmade marketplace. You're sure to find amazing, one-of-a-kind pieces for your wedding on Etsy, but it's a huge marketplace, so we've done the research for you. We've been to the end and back and we're here to share it all with you! 

    Today, we are talking about how to plan your wedding on Etsy from start to finish. And, then later, look out, on the blog because we have a special post on how to register for your wedding through Etsy. (Yes, it's possible and it's awesome!)



    It won't be long before you realize just how many details go into the planning process, bridal shower, wedding day and more! Your wedding is a once in a lifetime event and you'll cherish these memories for years to come so be sure to enjoy the process. Choose details that make you smile!

    Tips For Wedding Planning On Etsy

    Before we get into it, we wanted to give you these five tips for planning your wedding on Etsy. 

    1. Use The Favorites Button

    If you see something you love or a shop that you don't want to forget about, simply use the favorites button. It's a little heart and it will add it to your list of favorites on Etsy. This way, you can save something if you aren't quite ready. 

    2. Register For An Account

    Once you do make a purchase, you'll have an account on Etsy. This will help with shipping and so that you won't have to entire your details each time. It's so much better and faster this way!

    3. Start At The Beginning

    It can be easy to get overwhelmed and super excited about the wrong things at the wrong times. Be sure to pace yourself and start at the beginning. Don't get the ceremony welcome sign before you even have a wedding planning binder. 

    4. Custom Is Your Friend

    The best part of Etsy is the customization options. If you see something that you love, but it isn't quite right, just ask. Most artists on Etsy love custom designs and would love to work with you to make you something amazing.

    5. Etsy Has Everything You Need

    Etsy truly has everything you need for your wedding from dresses to gifts for your parent to favors for your guests. 

    How To Plan Your Wedding On Etsy

    Etsy is a great source for wedding day details both small and large. You may think of Etsy when it comes to personalized gifts for your bridal party but there is so much more to be found! From stationery to wedding signs and even wedding dresses, Etsy is basically a marketplace for thousands of small business owners who put their heart and soul into the products they sell. Purchasing through Etsy is an easy way to support small businesses and find unique items for your wedding!

    So how do you plan your wedding on Etsy? Easy! Let the shopping begin! Planning your entire wedding with Etsy is possible and perfect for creating the perfect wedding day that speaks to you and your spouse. Etsy is filled with wedding items for every color or theme so you are sure to fine what you need.
