Handmade Wedding Style Ideas for the Modern Bride

Influenced by current styles and options, modern weddings can be nontraditional, sleek and fashionable. Here are 5 ideas from the Etsy Wedding Team to create a modern style wedding using handmade touches.
Structural Embellishments. In addition putting to embellishments onto a design, modern style also uses embellishments that are part of how the item is made for a very high-end, unique look. For example, in this wedding gown much of the stunning design comes from folds that are part of the dress. {handmade by www.bellinabridal.etsy.com}


New Functions. Modern style takes a fresh look at what we use and how. In this example the ring pillow is transformed into a handmade ring tray that you can use in your home after the ceremony. {handmade by www.dawndalto.etsy.com}


Geometric Patterns. Use them light or bold, either way geometric patterns read very modern. And they are not just for your stationery design, table settings and fabric, such as this purse can have geometric pattern too. {handmade by www.thesocialseam.etsy.com}


Nontraditional Choices. For modern style in your stationery, look for nontraditional layout, font and embellishment choices. Different formats, such as three-dimensional pieces, or different shapes have a modern feel too. {handmade by www.DesignCircus.etsy.com}


Simple, Clean Design. The hallmark of modern design is simplicity. That can mean simple shapes or simple adornment, or both. {handmade by www.tenstoreylovesong.etsy.com}
