Saturday Theme Treasury Challenge - Here Comes the Bride!





I'm guessing many of us had a summer wedding!  Brides who have planned for months and months are getting ready to bring all of those plans together as their wedding date quickly approaches.  Other brides-to-be are in the beginning stages of planning their big event.  Whether they need last minute items or their first wedding purchase think about curating treasuries to meet both needs.  Think about everything from wedding and bridal shower favors, invitations, bridal and groomsmen gifts and gifts guests could get the new couple.


This Saturday's Treasury Challenge is from Etsy's July Merchandising Desk.   Think about outdoor options for the ceremony and reception, warm weather honeymooning and goodies for fall and winter weddings.
