Wedding Wednesday: Fabulous Etsy Finds

{ Via: Fantasy Fabric Designs }

 Etsy can be a bride's best source for wedding planning. Oh the fabulous finds that can be found! But it is a huge market place that can be daunting if you don't know where to look. I've done the work for you in this post. Each item is special, and maybe a detail you didn't know that you would love.

Wedding Wednesday: The City Hall Bride

Beyond The House Dress

When was the last time you wore a dress? I can't remember, it's been that long.  Thanks to the pandemic and those wonderful Golden Girls, house dresses were a "thing" for the last year or so.  The country is opening up. It's time to go beyond that look.  Here are 14 dresses that all have one thing in common....ease. But more than that, they look right working from home or casually out and about. Try one on for size. 

Caroline Tiered Maxi Dress

Ever so pretty, and perfect for sunny days ahead. The hat is sold separately, but a must have, I think.  Under $200.

Anthropologie

Guilia Dress

Simple perfection. You could wear this dress anywhere. Just change out the shoes. Also available in black.

Staud Clothing   or Shopbop

Maeve Sally Tunic Dress

Flouncy and playful, this easy breezy dress can be paired with sandals, sneakers, or a lady-like loafer. Chic and casual in cotton.

Anthropologie

Alexis Fortunia Dress
A pretty print makes this dress garden party gorgeous. It's washable, so go ahead and wear it in your own garden. 

Shopbop

Channing Polo Midi

There's nothing too new about a polo shirt dress, unless it is a midi with slits.  The Channing features a sporty vibe in the best cerulean  blue/green. You can find those French Sole slides (they remind me of Hermes) HERE.

Tuckernuck

Three Dots Twist Midi

This brand makes extremely comfortable clothing.  It's less than $130, plus take and extra 25% off, during the Friends & Family event.

Bloomingdale's

Cut Out Shoulder Dress

Perhaps the hippest dress in the edit. I love it, even if it is navy. The price is right, too. Less than $120

Cos Stores

Heirloom Indigo Dress

Made from organic cotton with a boho vibe. Perfect from the bedroom to 

the bistro.

Emerson Fry

Cozy Cotton Silk Dress
A polished piece that never could look frumpy. Wear it for WFH or home schooling. Take it outside for drinks on the deck. It's perfect!

Lunya

Embroidered Midi

Labeled a maxi, but looks a bit shorter to me. Whatever the length, it really is lovely. The sleeves are sensational, and it even has pockets. A really good look to wear at home or out and about.

Free People

Veronica Beard Roksanda Dress

Pre-order this fab find. Love the handkerchief hem and the color is the juiciest! It can be 

worn anywhere.

Bergdorf Goodman 

Roma Lace Trim Dress
A high low swing dress is so easy to wear. The Roma is easy with delicious details.

Cynthia Rowley

Ponte T-Shirt Dress

A new take on a Tee. This style is figure flattering with four way stretch.

Natori

High Low Maxi

A great dress no matter what your size. It is available in XXS - 3X. It's chic in all cotton. Less than $100 with Code: GOSPRING

The Bloomingdale's Friends & Family sale is still going on. I am looking for new spring face masks. Happy to say that my favorite Slip silk masks are now 25% off. They have pleats and a nose wire. Very well made. I have the black and the grey leopard. Now I am ordering the pink. 

Beekman 1802 is offering Free Shipping this weekend. My favorite products are the wipes, the bar soaps, and the hand and body wash. But if you are outside a good deal, you must try the natural bug spray. It really works without the toxic chemicals. And they are always out of it in the warmer months.

Sparkling rose, strawberry lemonade, grenadine, lemons, and strawberries create the prettiest punch. This is how you toast spring and Easter Sunday.

Country Living

Smoked Salmon Board

This brunch worthy board plays well for Passover or Easter! The color is

 the thing.

What's Gabby Cooking

Said to be the easiest recipe ever. It begins with wonderful brioche bread, and ends with a whole bean vanilla whipped cream. Perfect!

Sally's Baking Addiction

Everything Smoked Salmon Deviled Eggs

Life is just too short to make boring deviled eggs. These are anything but that! This recipe is so beautiful for brunch.

How Sweet Eats

Meyer Lemon Chamomile Suzette Crepes with Greek Yogurt

I think that I have found my favorite recipe of this roundup. Of course it is from the one and only.....

Half Baked Harvest

Mixed Berry Berry Bruschetta With Whipped Yogurt Spread

Why just serve toast when you can make up a platter of these? Fruit is always nice to serve. Mix it up a bit for Easter.

The Modern Proper

Lemon Jelly Donuts

This is a super easy recipe, that would make an awesome activity for the kids at brunch. That filling? It is lemon pie filling. 

Pint Sized Baker

Lobster Mac and Cheese

A perfect companion for a baked ham. Or it could easily stand on its' own.  This recipe is creamy, cheesy, and decadent. Very festive!

Grandbaby-Cakes

Amazing Glazed Ham
I am not the biggest fan of ham, but I could see myself picking this ham to death. It really looks scrumptous. The recipe comes from the Ree Drummond. The good news is that it starts with a fully cooked spiral ham. It cooks for a long time, and that is how you get that sensational  looking crust!

Food Network

Hasselback Scalloped Potatoes

How gorgeous is this dish?These potatoes have been stacked with style and Gruyère and Parmigiano cheeses, heavy cream and pancetta. 

What's Gaby Cooking

Grilled Lamb Lollipops

This dish screams Spring to me. The bone makes sure that they are tender and juicy. The green dish is sweet pea dip. How delish. It all makes a

 pretty platter. 

Sprinkles and Sprouts

Crispy Breakfast Potatoes

These aren't just any potatoes. They have been crisped with chili garlic oil and fresh herbs. Also the potatoes are cooked on a sheet pan with bacon! 

So it's rather no fuss, but oh so good.

Half Baked Harvest

Coconut Coffee Cake
Eat cake for breakfast? kate Spade says we should. This looks like such a treat for breakfast or brunch. There's coconut in the cake and on it. It's topped off with even more coconut in the glaze. A very easy cake to serve to a crowd.

How Sweet Eats

Make Ahead Spring Bread Pudding

This beautiful bread pudding is made in individual gratin dishes, so it cooks up really quickly. The recipe calls for morel mushrooms. YUM!

Williams Sonoma

Banana Bread Griddle Cakes Caramelized Bananas and Walnuts

Gluten Free & Vegan

Just give me this stack, and no one gets hurt! My oh my, do these look good. The added bonus is that these won't hurt a touchy tummy.

Heather Christo

Eggs Benedict Strata

What a clever recipe! Actual Eggs Benedict would be very difficult to make at the last minute for company. At least I wouldn't try it. You put it all together the night before. 

The Pioneer Woman

Carrot Cake Cupcakes

Carrot Cake is a must have at any Easter meal. Make it into chic little cupcakes and it will always be a winner.

Cooking Classy

Carrot Mimosa
Unexpected and oh so appropriate!
