Dessy vs. Etsy: Room for two?

Who needs another set of faux pearl earrings or a free pair of dyed-to-match satin sandals?  Not your maids, that’s for sure.  Yet, many wedding wear companies continue to offer the same old bridal party accessories.  

But, you aren’t the same old bride.  DIY, personalization and thoughtful details are your M.O., but with limited options from traditional outlets, you have to get creative.  

One way to do just that is to use the matchy-matchy accessories sites to your advantage.  Dessy Bridal offers chic, sophisticated wedding party looks and a full range of color matched accessories.  Instead of buying exact match satin slippers or wraps for your party, try fun color combos or a different shade for each maid.  I love a beautiful silvery-grey pashmina paired with a bright yellow maid dress - it’s an unexpected combination that can make pictures really pop.  A coordinating flip flop color for the maid to change into at the reception is also a great way to utilize color matching services.  In fact, Dessy has a great inspiration board app that allows you to customize accessory options and determine the best looks for your party.  

Then, search for handmade jewelry or headbands on Etsy and pick out a different style for each maid according to her own personal aesthetic.  Your maids will appreciate having an accessory she can use for her next event and you’ll have a unique, yet put together, wedding party for your fun and unique day!
