My favorite wedding purchases that brought me the most joy
This photo by Wild About You Photography shows three of my favorite wedding purchases. Can you guess what they are?

I'm currently (and finally!) writing my wedding profile for The Redwood Wedding. (Omg, you guys, it's been a TIME. I'm having so much trouble finding the right words and sorting through all the photos.) And while I've been re-visiting The Blessed Day, I've been revisiting some of my details.

I thought I'd highlight the wedding purchases that brought me the most joy. (Besides my dress, which was the ultimate purchase.) Maybe they'll do the same for you, or spark some inspiration for your wedding…

I bought this whiskey decanter, had it filled with pre-mixed Old Fashioneds, and topped it with a personalized copper bottle tag from HAMMERHEAD Designs that said exactly what I said to him when he proposed: “Fuck yes, I'm going to marry the fuck out of you!” I had it delivered to Mike and his wedding party while they were getting ready.

The same goes for this Giant Jenga set from Splinter Woodworking. We wrote all our guests' names on each block.

I had a few pieces of custom silverware made, including this “forking and spooning since” set from GraceBeganToGrow and a fork that said “I <3 waffles" for myself from Hammer And Black

The Cersei Glass from themerchantventurers alternative wedding ideas from Offbeat Wed (formerly Offbeat Bride)

Apparently they're sold out now, but I got lucky to get my hands on one of these authentic Cersei wine goblets from The Merchant Ventures in the UK. And it's one of my favorite things IN LIFE.

Youre Fucking Awesome Notecards alternative wedding ideas from Offbeat Wed (formerly Offbeat Bride)

Finally, these You're Fucking Awesome notecards thank you notes were purchased for a few Very Special Wedding Helpers. And they brought joy not just to me, but to the recipients as well.

Those were MY favorite wedding purchases… what are yours?
