Etsy is a wedding planning haven where a bride’s detailed dreams come true, and that makes for some drop dead gorgeous affairs for us to gawk over. Some of our favorite fêtes are of the fall variety, so we thought we’d whip up a few buying guides based on some drool-worthy autumn affairs.
First we’ll show a little snap shot of the wedding, and then unveil the board of curated Etsy goodness. Let’s get started with this gorgeous Santa Ynez soiree by Jose Villa.
Hard not to love that goodness, and with a little help from our crafty Etsy friends it can all be yours.
Beth Helmstetter is a styling goddess, and this gorgeous party does elegant rustic so well that the term “elegant rustic” was probably coined for this wedding. But you don’t have to take my word for it: here’s a little snippet from the gorgeous affair.
And now, here are some ideas on how you can make it your very own.
And finally, this autumn photo shoot is just my dream fall setting — warm tones, a fabulous menu and wine aplenty. We just had to take the opportunity to make this inspiration a reality…
You just need a few beautiful things to bring it to life.

I love seeing great and unique ideas like these. I just added a few sparkly clutch purses to my shop and sold four to a bride to be who plans to give them to her bridesmaids.

Happy wedding planning to all and to all a good crafty night!

I am doing a fall wedding - in just over 6 weeks, in fact! I am a big DIY-er and a big country girl. I grew up on a horse farm, so burlap and jute are totally my thing, and I love antiques, so lace is always my go to. I already have a huge collection of blue, green, and clear antique mason jars Im using for place settings, and Im sewing burlap runners and bunting flags. I made my own chalkboards for signage and grabbed a birdcage for 10 bucks at a garage sale that I plan on sanding and antiquing to get it just right. Loved this post, and happy to see what I've been designing myself fits in quite well.

Getting married next October and this really inspires me! How gorgeous. Our favourite time of year and the colour inspiration is almost too easy. Have already purchased many items off of Etsy (Bridesmaid dresses, table decorations, bridal shrug, etc)...and many more to be purchased soon I'm sure. Is there such a thing as Etsy addiction? If so...I have it.
