Ruffled

I am overjoyed with all your support you’re giving to the classifieds section! There are already several ads listed from brides selling their wedding items from their vintage inspired receptions, you should take a look at the wedding items for sale! You can also starting selling used vintage inspired wedding items by clicking here.

Ok, enough with chatting. I got a fun, uber creative wedding for you. I was so excited when Jenny Jimenez sent over this wedding. It’s the essence of Ruffled – vintagey, fun and creative. Now, on to the wedding photos:

The groom, Matthew, will be sharing the highlights of their wedding day in part II coming up in a bit!

I can’t believe it’s finally here! It was truly a labor of love. I can’t begin to tell you how long it took, but you can imagine the crazy happy dance I am doing right now. The free marketplace was created for readers so they can now buy or sell wedding items used in their vintage inspired weddings. This new feature is free and deliciously easy to use.

Check out the free wedding classifieds page to start selling!

The gallery page is not populated just yet since it just launched, but thumbnail images will enlarge on mouse ouver, which will make it easier when browsing through several items. You will also be able to communicate directly with the seller, using a quick “send message to seller” form. The form never shows the seller’s email publicly, unless of course the seller prefers listing her/his email address in the description field as well.

Brides searching for wedding items that would like to purchase can also make an ad to alert newlyweds what they’re looking to buy. All sellers can upload up to 4 photos to help make it sell faster. We highly recommend using this feature, taking photos of different angles of what you’re selling and pointing out any flaws in the description.

To keep our community marketplace tidy and in harmony, all ads are reviewed and approved prior to going live. It’s all yours folks, enjoy!

There’s nothing more convenient than non-floral alternatives for winter weddings, specially if you live in areas with harsh winters. Their rustic look easily lends a vintage feel when combined with millinery flowers or other vintage inspired elements, all of which makes for the perfect vintage winter wedding decor.
