What was your theme/colors and what inspired it? 

My theme was modern-fun. I wanted classic shapes with clean lines with some bling! My colors were Pink and Silver with pops of Black 

What creative (DIY) or personal aspects did you include in your wedding? 

Well from Esty itself- I got my veil, my shoes clips, flower for my hair, my grater and 3 pink table runners for my cake table, head table and gifting table.  Personal touches – I had pictures of family members that had passed with their pictures and a memorial candle to remember them. I also had pictures of both of our parents on their wedding day with pictures of us from our engagement session. I had an engravable picture frame that all of our guest could sign.  I also go small pink crystals in all sizes that looked like diamonds on every table to give it some sparkle.   I also made drink cozies for each of our guests as their gift. 

What was your favorite Etsy find? 

I mean I like them all and they all mean different things to me but I loved my shoe clips and flower!!! Everyone loved it- it was nothing like anyone had ever seen! 

What is the most memorable moment of your day? 

I can’t pick just one! From me putting on my dress to seeing Derek for the first time to walking down the aisle… they all were so memorable.  However walking into my reception and seeing all my hard work put all together was pretty cool! I mean I did it and it looks amazing!!!  

What’s the best advice you have for planning your wedding now that you’re on the other side? 

Best advice… if you are a control freak like I am… do it all yourself and make sure you have a smartphone so you can get emails any hour of the day!  Also send out the same timeline to all your vendors so everyone has the same time line.  Bottom line… make sure to laugh, have fun and know that you are planning the best and most fastest day of your life and make sure you have great people around you! 

Today’s wedding took place last May at the Darwin Botanic Gardens, Darwin, Northern Territory, Australia.  Bride Desiree first learned of Etsy through the wedding forum Australian Wedding Central.

What was your theme/colors and what inspired it?

Our wedding theme was Fusion (Indian + Western) to incorporate both mine and Matt’s cultures (I’m Singaporean Indian and he’s Australian).  The colors were red, white and light gold, inspired by my Indian background.

What was your favorite Etsy find?

It’s a tie between the silk flowers and the shoe clips! The seller for the silk flowers was just amazing. She was very patient and customized it to suit my wedding entirely. The shoe clips are my favorite as well because I can re-use them whenever I want

What is the most memorable moment of your day?

Walking down the aisle and seeing my husband’s beaming smile.

What creative (DIY) or personal aspects did you include in your wedding?

- Table numbers – I created our table numbers using photos of our 3 pets and the word ‘love’ in different languages.
- Handmade individual guest cards that were completed and compiled in a DIY guestbook.

Compromise!
