BRONZE BUDGET BRIDE

It's Etsy week  and that means that I will be featuring some of my favorite and some of your favorite Etsy shops!

I am excited about my first Esty pick because it's one that will help all you budget brides who are making cupcakes for your wedding to find supplies you'll need at a really great price and it's Sweet Estelle's.  I know it's not a really big shop but it has everything you'll need to style and design your cupcakes from cute wrappers, to disposable pastry bags and tips as well as edible toppers, fun cupcake picks and more.



There are so many different types of wrappers to choose from at Sweet Estelle's.  You can find them in solid colors, metallic, strips, polka dots, plaid, floral and so it shouldn't be hard to find a set that is perfect for you.



To dress up your cupcakes there are pearls but if that's not what you want you can choose another edible topper in the selection.



Looking for something a bit more fun like this barbecue grill or something cute like this deer surrounded by silver pine trees to match your  wedding theme.



Visit Sweet Estelle's here on Etsy and keep in mind that shipping is only $2.50 for the first item and just 20 cents for each additional item. Another reason I love shopping on Etsy, shipping rates are usually low as well.

This Lemonade stand was created by Paper and Cakes and I think it's such a great idea. Not just a great idea to sell lemonade but this would also be a fun idea for an outdoor Summer wedding.



Instead of having a traditional dessert table, why not have a lemonade stand instead filled with snacks and desserts that pair well with lemonade, which is pretty much anything sweet. 



In these photos are just some of the treats you can serve and if you love the treat wrappers too, you can download them all here for $14.99.



I love  this idea  and with some imagination you can have a version of it at any indoor wedding too.



See all the details on the DIY Lemon Stand here and let me know if this is something you think you would try at your wedding.

This photo was posted by bronze budget bride Mickie and my first thought was that this centerpiece could be created with items from most Dollar Stores for under $8. You can see for yourself on DollarTree.com where you can buy Wine, Margarita and Martina glasses for $1.00 each. Candles are here for $1.00 each or per pack and you can buy the faux flowers as well for $1.00 per stem. So since each stem would have at least 3 flowers, yes, just around $8 to recreate a similar centerpiece.

I've added a few more below that I found online and it's easy to see that some with river rocks and luster gems, all of which you can find a Dollar Stores, you can have a beautiful, candle-light table centerpiece for under $10.00!

At YorkPhoto.com if you register today you get to print 40 photos printed for free! That is a help to all the brides who have so many photos to print after Wedding Day from family and friends. This would really save some moola if you take advantage of this deal and at Bronze Budget Bride we're all for saving money, so visit them today!

I found these gowns online at In Wedding Dress and although I don't recommend purchasing anything from this site, you can use it as a reference when searching for gowns that fit your style and taste. However, they do have some beautiful plus size dresses and when you go wedding dress shopping don't be afraid that you won't find a dress in your size that you'll love... there are beautiful gowns out there for everyone!

I just have to thank Pomela of The Ultimate Affair for sending these photos of the stunning plum perfect wedding that she did for bride S. Radclif. I'm in love with plum purple and I hope you all like these images as much as I do. Enjoy!

I added a tutorial months ago about how to create your own Ostrich Feather Centerpieces right here and after seeing these beautiful plumes, I am sure you will want to take a look at it to see just how easy it is for you to do it yourself just as many budget brides have done before!

If you've been trying to find an elegant but non-traditional white flower to use in your centerpieces then these lilies are perfect for you. You can find them HERE being sold in sets of 60 at Cosco.com for $89.99. That is an awesome price for Lilies and they make a statement all by themselves but you can also mix them with another flower, like roses, to create a dymanic centerpiece.

You can get 100 pink, white, red, orange, white or yellow roses HERE for $89.99 to replicate a bouquet like the one below.

Candy buffets are a very popular wedding trend that guests are loving. You can create them yourself with vases and jars you can find just about anywhere. Buy some candy in bulk and create a sweet display at your wedding reception!

Here's some candy buffet displays that I hope will inspire you!
