Earlier this week I was bored and browsing Etsy, and decided to search the site to see what bee items I might find. Like Mrs. Lamb, I thought it might be nice to find something for myself to celebrate my time writing for Weddingbee.
And wow, did I find a lot of cute bee things! For all you other Weddingbee lovers out there, I thought I'd share some of my favorite finds (follow the links for the Etsy listing and image source).
Purple Flower with Bee Hair Pins (wish I'd found these before buying my hair pins, they would have been perfect for my wedding!)
Mrs. and Mr. Bee Glass Beads
Gorgeous Pink and Bee Charm Earrings
Jeweled Bee Wristlet
Vintage Flower and Bee Ring
Honey Knuckles Ring (this reminds me of the awesome rings Miss Scissors considered getting for her bridesmaids)
Bee and Pink Flower Necklace (also one of Lamb's considerations)
Stacked Pink Topaz and Bee Rings (I love the simplicity of these stacked rings, if only the stone was princess cut to match my e-ring!)
Real Bee in Resin Ring (this one is a little out there, and probably not for me since I've never even been stung by a real bee, but it's pretty interesting that something like this exists!)
Filigree Bee Ring (I LOVE the vintage feel to this ring!)
I think my favorites so far are the pink earrings and the filigree ring, but I'm not settled on what my Weddingbee commemoration gift to myself should be yet. But the great thing about Etsy is that new stuff pops up all the time!
I know there are a lot of Weddingbee addicts out there, have any of you been tempted to buy anything with bees adorning it? And who else loves browsing Etsy when you're bored? :)
It's time to show you my first ever Etsy purchase, from the fabulous seller Luxe Deluxe. Check out their store for some seriously jeweled eye candy.
Working with this seller was extremely easy. I first inquired about some great looking earrings in their store, to see if a matching bracelet and necklace existed (most of the jewelry in their store has matching pieces). The earrings had just the right balance of bling and pearls that I was looking for to go with the details on my dress.

After several back and forth e-mails, the seller was able to create mock ups for me of a matching necklace and bracelet, modeled after other styles in their store, but with the beautiful pearl and Swarovski crystal filigree that I liked from the earrings.
And here are the beauties that I ended up with, which came in cute little pink ribbon wrapped boxes (all these photos taken by me):
(the quality of work from this seller is amazing! Even down to the necklace clasp with crystals, these pieces are just beautiful, and well worth the total of $218 + $8.25 shipping!)
And here I threw on a tube top to show you all what they will look like when I'm wearing them. With my hair half up, the earrings will be shown off pretty well, and I think the necklace is the perfect length to go with my strapless dress (the seller even made the necklace and bracelet to my size specifications, which is fantastic for my tiny wrists, so I won't have to worry about the bracelet slipping off).
I still can't decide if the bracelet should be worn on my right or left hand. If it's on the left, it will probably be more comfortable, but I don't want it to detract from the new bling of my wedding band and e-ring. So maybe it should be worn on my right wrist, to balance things out?
What do you think, which wrist will you be wearing a bracelet on, if you're wearing one? And where did you find your wedding jewelry?
