How you got started with your Etsy store/craft of trade

I am a graphic designer who graduated from Cal State Fullerton couple years ago. After struggling trying to find a position during such a tough economy, I decided to start my own design studio business on Etsy. I have always felt passionate toward colors, patters, and nice textured paper. I wasn’t satisfied with freelancing just designing logos and websites – so that’s  when I decided to sell my own paper goods and design.  I really enjoy being able to pick the ink colors and printing paper. I have been creating new designs for almost one year and I love what I do.

 

Your favorite thing about weddings

My favorite thing about weddings is seeing all elements working together. There are endless things involved in planning a wedding; like the decorations, seating chart, place cards, menu, flowers, and much more. Oftentimes brides have to order their supplies from many different venders, which can be very stressful trying to have all of the elements match. Seeing the version in your mind finally comes to life and being presented in front of your family and friends is such a wonderful moment. That’s when you know all the hard work that you have put into the day are all worth it.

 

Tina has offered to giveaway 100 printed tiara black and white place cards and 10 matching black and white large folded table number cards. Not enough for your large wedding?  You can always order more!!  ; )

When making more and mores designs {jewelry}, one of my friends told me that I can sell some of them through ETSY. This is a great place for people to sell and buy handmade designs, so I chose to start a shop last year.

So here we go!  Kicking off our Season of {Etsy} Giveaways is Diane and Gordon – with Your Divine Affair!!

 

How did you get started with your Etsy store?

I am a Wedding Planner and have sewn for years, so I can make many things my brides wish to have in their wedding. I also knew my husband could make just about anything with wood – so I could show him the great interest in custom, handcrafted items that brides love to use in their weddings to show their personal style.  As we began to make these items and saw the admiration for the great care and detail we take in our work,I knew our items could be popular on Etsy. We make a lot of our items from fallen wood found here in the Smoky Mountains of North Carolina.

 

What is your favorite part about weddings?

Our favorite thing about weddings now, is the fact that a bride and groom can put so much of their personality in their wedding. There are no hard and fast rules anymore, and as a wedding planner, I encourage each couple to project their tastes and likes in their style wedding. No more cookie cutter weddings! Each wedding is an event to remember for the unique details each couple brings to their DIVINE AFFAIR.

 

I know I am super excited for the lucky one that gets to have 50 of Diane and Gordon’s beautifully rustic Log Tealight Candle Holders – what a beautiful addition to any weddings!!! {Or even an evening, intimate wedding ceremony!!!} I am 110% in agreement with Diane that every wedding can be so very unique and personalized – it’s items like theirs that really help that happen!
