Digital Press Creation
You have to save money where you can. We understand. So maybe you’re DIY-ing your own wedding stationery/invites, you’ve got your fave fonts laid out and everything, but then what? Clipart? Actually, yes. Molly Van Roekel is changing the clipart game. You can purchase whole themes of gorgeous hand-painted watercolor clipart that she’s digitalized for you to use on whatever you wish. Nautical pieces? Got it. Vintage bicycles? No problem. Banners, arrows and pineapples? Check, check and check. And of course, flowers galore. You can also request custom pieces with your name, initials, or phrases written in. DIY wedding stationery? Crushed it.
Chicc Designs
Don’t worry. To all our ladies with the artistic skills of a toddler, we hear you, too. If you don’t know the first thing about designing your own stationery, you’re far from doomed. Chicc Designs makes it almost too easy. All you have to do is pick out one of the fab designs (even if you like the ones that aren’t necessarily “bridal” designs better) send her your info and you’re set. Beautiful, effortless, flawless. You woke up like this.
Blue Times Two
Oh, you knew this was coming. How could we have a Southern wedding Etsy list without monograms? Answer: We couldn’t. Good thing we’ve got Blue Times Two doling out initials left and right on just about any surface they can get their hands on. Stitched onto shirts, headbands and koozies; printed onto phone chargers, keychains, car decals, notepads, sand spikes for the beach and the list goes on. Of course, you’re not limited to just your initials. You can get full names, sports teams, even state silhouettes. See? We wouldn't disappoint you.
Violet & Jane
If a tree falls in the forest and no one makes a T-shirt to commemorate the occasion, does it really even happen? The jury’s still out (making T-shirts, probably), so we’re not going to chance it. Luckily, the brand new Violet & Jane is here to save the day with some fab fiancée fashion and sensational spousal swag. Choose between matte, metallic, a variety of sparkly options and maybe even a little Queen Bey flair. That might have been the happiest sentence we’ve ever written.
