Wedding Wednesday | An "Etsy-full" Wedding

I've been waiting to share this with all of you for a while and I just can't wait anymore!

Etsy's The Storque blog editor, Vanessa Bertozzi, and her now-husband, Mickey Duzyj, were married in Rehoboth, Massachusetts. This wedding was bound to be fabulous from the beginning with Vanessa's love for all things handmade and Mickey's background as a cartoonist and designer! I just can't get enough of all of the unique, meaningful and handmade details!!

Mickey designed the cartoon-strip invitation that detailed how he and Vanessa met and fell in love. I even featured this invite on WeddingAces (which has an awesome new format by the way - you should totally go check it out if you haven't already!) because I LOVE IT SO MUCH!!

The Ukrainian folk art inspired paper fans doubled as ceremony programs and table-assignment cards - they were emblazoned with the wedding's theme "Romance in Rehoboth".
Vanessa used Esty's sleepingdogstudio's 1950's enamel beads to create a gorgeous hairpiece for herself and boutonnieres for the gentlemen to wear.
Etsy's MitMitt (family friend Jillian Luz) created the bridesmaids' jewelry out of semi-precious beads. I just can't enough of these beautiful colors!
Etsy vendor furkidfever designed a custom outfit for Vanessa's sister's cockapoo, Hugo. It actually matched Mickey's suit!
This is hands-down my favorite bridesmaid's dress ever - it's reversible!! Vanessa couldn't decide on a color for the bridesmaid dresses so the girls wore the bright yellow cotton side for the ceremony then headed up to the hayloft to switch to the satin navy blue side for the rest of the evening. These were custom made by Etsy's missbranche. The dresses were made extra fun and pouffy with detachable petticoats, also made by missbranche.
Vanessa's niece and flower girl, Sabina, wore a gorgeous little pinafore by Etsy's rubypearl, complete with a lace apron for flower petal holding!
Handmade buttons were scattered throughout the reception tables for guests to wear and take home as mementos. What a great personal touch!!
Don't like wedding cake (personally, it's my favorite part, but I grew up with a mom and a grandma who bake as a profession)? Vanessa and Mickey had a family friend make heart-shaped strawberry shortcake in lieu of a traditional wedding cake.
