One of the many reasons living in New York is awesome is the access we have to notions shops. My favorite is M&J, but you also never know what you will discover over at Tinsel Trading. Do you have any great notions shops in your area? Please let me know!

I love botanical and garden border illustration, and Liz Pepperell is one of my favorites. You can purchase her illustrations online, and wouldn't that be a pretty and unique way to design your invitations? This is a garden inspired layout, with happy dragonflies buzzing around reusable topiary centerpieces...{Dress: Marchesa, Sp 08; Apple image: Junebug Weddings ; Handmade rose fabric rings: Brides Magazine; Topiary: MS Weddings; Fair Trade bracelette by Columbian artisans; Dragonfly Earring, handmade by KT Collection; Scarf: Vintage Indie.}

Green and Envy, What is a Girl to Do?
Ring: This locket ring is a pretty way to do the deed, with the delicate features of a Victorian era hiding its true dastardly purpose--to swiftly deliver a poisonous power into the drink of a love rival.
Bodice Dress: As she looks wistfully out the ballroom window, she sees her lover arrive, alone. (this would make a lovely bridesmaid dress too, don't you think?)
Starfish Print: An creature that perfectly embodies the delicate balance between resilience and the ultimately fragile nature of love seems a fitting image for the day. (would be a very sweet way to dress your tables--a chic alternative to flowers).
Flower Print Gown: She sits and smiles, what else is there left to do?
Oh yes perhaps a sweet gift for her partners in crime, the lovely bridesmaids who will follow you to the end.
You can find this little floret hair clip on my Etsy shop.
Everything featured here is Sustainable (local, handmade, fair labor, repurposed, organic, recycled) and all-around awesome.

You don't have to buy handmade, you can make it yourself. Making jewelry is one of my favorite past times, not that I am by any means an expert. I find my beads from many different places--my Grandmother's old costume jewelry, old earrings, watches, and jewelry I pick-up for a song at flea markets. Above are just some of my funky creations.

Odette NY is handmade, beautiful, and affordable. Perfect for your wedding day and all the days after.
