Inspiration Board #14: Handmade Beauty Items

Have you considered purchasing your wedding makeup through small businesses? You don't often think of finding handmade makeup and beauty items for sale, but there is an abundance of amazing makeup and beauty small businesses found throughout the web, especially on Etsy.com. The following are some great beauty care items available internationally for purchase that add a more natural feel to your wedding beauty products. A lot of beauty products from small businesses are also a lot more organic than what you find through corporate brands, and you can often find great deals on awesome products.

Inspiration Board #10: Wedding Gift Ideas I

One of my favorite tools while planning my wedding was using Gift Registry 360, which allows you to pull any item available for sale on the web and add it to your wedding registry. It was great having the liberty to add items from places like Etsy.com or Anthropologie, places that don't normally have gift registries. This week's first inspiration board is filled with handmade items from Etsy.com that make great additions to your wedding registry or great handmade gift ideas for the guests that like purchasing outside of registries. :]
