Magical Wedding in Wallonia, Belgium

P h o t o s b y K - p t u r e

Well friends, it looks like it’s Monday again. Fortunately, I’ve got a wedding full of really fun details to share with you today. There’s lots of pink, gold, and butterflies - definitely some magic to help your Monday blues.

This bride has the most beautiful smile and her lace dress is equally as gorgeous. This couple got married at the L’Orangerie de Beauval in Wallonia, the French-speaking part of Belgium. This stunning estate is situated in the heart of a lush green forest and served as the backdrop for some really great couple portraits.

The bride arrived at the ceremony in style in a Rolls-Royce. She wore a lovely crystal-beaded gown, a lace veil and carried a beautiful bouquet of blush pink roses.

An Etsy-full Wedding

During my wedding planning process I spent countless hours on wedding blogs and sites like Pinterest. My Instagram newsfeed was full of wedding pictures, my wedding binder was a scrapbook of magazine clippings, and my iPad was basically used for nothing but wedding musings. I had a lot of great tools and ideas compiled for the big day, but ultimately, one of the biggest resources I used was Etsy.

Honestly, Etsy has every unique and wonderful craft imaginable. And to my delight, it is a source full of amazing wedding details. But really, my wedding was jam packed with Etsy things. Bridesmaids dresses? Etsy. Escort cards? Etsy. Rustic wooden cake stand? Etsy. Invitations? Etsy. Table numbers? Etsy. The list goes on.

Here is why I am such a fan of Etsy for weddings: the range of items they have is endless and they all have such a unique quality to them. Spend some time on Etsy and you’re bound to find something you love at a reasonable price. The communication with Etsy sellers is most often quite good, they respond quickly and provide you with helpful information about your potential purchase. Another great thing about Etsy is that the sellers are usually more than willing to customize things for you, which is a truly wonderful thing when it comes to weddings. Being able to really tailor things to fit your style is important, and Etsy is definitely a tool that will allow you to show your own personal style in your wedding.

Here are a few Etsy creations that are worth sharing:

These gowns from Grace Loves Lace are absolutely incredible. When you purchase a dress from Grace Loves Lace, it comes straight from their studio in Australia where the makers get their lace from the finest lace producers in France. The dresses have an earthy, bohemian feel to them. Unlike many dresses manufactured for weddings, these dresses flow loosely and gracefully for a comfortable wear and a whimsical and romantic look.
