Unusual Sites
October 3rd, 2006 @ 11:45 am by Mrs. Blueberry
Here’s a list of some of the fun sites I’ve encountered over the course of my extensive online research. I hope you find it helpful!
Perfect Details has a great selection of classically elegant accessories–from tiaras to guestbooks, with a limited selection of shoes, purses, and other useful details. All their products are beautiful and traditional, without the typical kitsch that you see on many of those other wedding sites.
This mirror would make a great bridesmaid or junior bridesmaid’s gift ($35.00):
Pottery Barn

Pottery Barn has soooo much fantastic stuff right now!
I’m absolutely in love with these:
At $69.00 apiece they’re fairly reasonably priced, and would be great to integrate into wedding! Perhaps as an unusual card box, to hold the programs in before the ceremony, or even a lovely gift box. But we all know that most Pottery Barn stuff can be found elsewhere, so I bet if you looked around at a flea market, farmer’s market or craft show you could find something similar for even less $$$.
Custom Necklaces

Fellow weddingbee Miss Blueberry asked me to make her four customized flower girl necklaces. I jumped in this project right away. This is necklace #1. I’m so happy with the result and she loves it too.
The O List

Every month The Oprah Magazine features things that Oprah thinks are great in a feature called The O List. This month I loved these vibrant, stylish gym bags from Koie Products which have separate compartments for your shoes, clothes, ipod, etc. I’d really want this if my lazy ass actually worked out. 
A great gift for the sporty bridesmaid, available in 6 colors for $75.
Flower girl Gifts
September 30th, 2006 @ 12:40 pm by Mrs. Blueberry
A couple weeks ago I started talking with Miss Violet about making my flower girls’ gifts. I loooove her Etsy site and knew she was more than talented enough to make adorable necklaces for our little FGs.
I told her about what kind of Swarovski crystal beads we used in my bouquet (sapphire, light sapphire, and clear) and showed her a picture of the FGs dresses, then left the rest up to her.
Last night I got a message–she’s already completed one of the necklaces! Check it out:

Sugardaddys Brownies
September 20th, 2006 @ 4:33 pm by Mrs. Bee
I admit I’m not really a big fan of chocolate or sweets in general. But I do have a couple of exceptions - and brownies are definitely one of them!
These scrumptious brownies from Sugardaddy’s come in 8 delectable flavors. They’re individually packaged and ready to eat right out of the box. $45 for 10.
Or you can go for these elegantly packaged favors, with one sweetie wrapped in a silk dupioni bag. $12 per favor.
Sugardaddy’s is even offering 10% of orders of $50 or more through November 15th. Enter code 01xe115106 at checkout.
Give these out as favors at your wedding or bridal shower - because brownies are cooler than cookies.

Flipbook Favors
September 18th, 2006 @ 3:06 pm by Mrs. Bee
I found FlipClips through a sponsored link in my gmail, and thought their flipbooks were a pretty nifty, retro cool idea for gifts or favors. You send in a digital video clip under 30 seconds, and the clip is turned into a flip book bound on acid and lignen-free digital paper, available in three different sizes:
- Flipbook Size: 3.5″w x 2″h x 75 pages
- Greeting Card Size: 4.25″w x 3.25″h x 50 pages
- Story Book Size: 4.5″w x 3″h x 150 pages
As much as I’m not a fan of the cake smashing in the face, I think that’d make for a fun flip book. 
Recchiuti Confections

How tres chic are these chocolate favors from Recchiuti Confections designed by artist Kelly Tunstall?

Favor Containers
September 14th, 2006 @ 10:52 am by Mrs. Lily
I thought these tins and jars were pretty cute and excellent prices for favor containers from Speciality Bottle:
$0.68 - $0.88 cents a piece (depending on size) for these darling tins– I can picture those colored M&Ms in them!
$0.44 - $0.78 for the round versions.
These jars ($0.37 - $0.74 cents per piece) could be used for coffee, tea, candle-making, candies, whatever. I think they’d be great with some ribbon around the edges!
This next group could be used for things like making pretty olive oils (like when you add chili or garlic) or for maple syrup for a Vermont wedding… They are $0.52 - $1.10.
Krispy Kreme Favors
September 13th, 2006 @ 2:54 pm by Mrs. Bee
To tell you the truth, I don’t really care too much about receiving favors when I attend a wedding. However, I would care if these were the favors!
O Krispy Kreme how I love thee so!
