The Handmade Wedding

Just in case you haven't gotten the word yet, Etsy is launching a new focus on weddings with the Handmade Wedding series. The series will highlightall the wedding goodies that appear in their shops. Storque will also feature a series of articles and guest bloggers that will bring more attention to all the ways that you can make your wedding more handmade. You can find more information here.

Etsy is also announcing the re-opening of Alchemy. As Etsy phrases it, Alchemy is "a service which allows buyers to request custom orders. Interested sellers bid on the job, allowing you to match yourself with the perfect artist for your needs. Theoretically, you could get just about anything made."

Do you know that you can get your wedding dress on Etsy?! I think that is such a fabulous idea. You can customize it in almost any way that you like and you can actually talk to the person making your dress!
