etsy vintage: clutches + purses for the bride

{each photo links to its shop}

voila! vintage wedding purses! as requested by reader "better than naked" in a comment.

(i pondered this username for a while this evening. does it mean, better than naked as in "it could be worse, you could be naked?" or [i prefer] something so great it's even *better* than naked? intriguing.)

(and yes, i'm supposed to be doing my taxes. denial, river in egypt, etc.)

eight offbeat bridesmaid dresses and clutches

{each photo links to its shop}

was inspired last week by a couple of wedding-related etsy finds emails, including this etsy bridesmaid finds post from the storque with four different bridesmaid "looks"-- so here are a few ideas to add to the pool...

almost finished with the magazine, on press tomorrow, and then i'm singing (long story) at a fundraiser thurs. night... so thank you again for your patience. am trying to catch up with my backlog of email and posts, so if you've written in the past two weeks, hang tight!

viabella: custom bridal clutches

{ ivory linen silk-lined clutch }

the perfect little bridal bag, lined with silver dupioni silk, with your choice of pearl/dupioni silk rose (shown above), shabby chic linen flower, or just plain vanilla. the ivory version (bottom left, below) has a pale "something blue" silk interior, but i think my favorite has to be the scooters.

viabella loves custom orders, will work with your fabric, and also makes cosmetic cases, zipper pouches, and eyeglass cases for great bridal party gifts.
