readygo: handmade wedding cake toppers, flags + banners

{ cake banner plus bride and/or groom set }

am not always a fan of the wedding topper, but these handmade cake banners and flags by Nadia of Ready Go are lovely and celebratory and fun, without being too too twee.

you get to customize your bride (even dress style) and groom (facial hair and kilt available) to reflect your particular pairing, and also your banner color. sweet!

she also makes matchbook calendar favors, gift tags, and all manner of lovely paper things.
plus she's etsy's featured artist this week -- check out the interview!

ok. here's a *great* idea for centerpieces -- herbs with table markers that can be reused in your garden after the wedding, or given with the plants as a take-home for your local friends.

omar wrote back in june, and i'm just now exploring his shop, which also has vintage mason jars for those interested -- i just love the reuse of antique spoons. you can also have them custom-stamped with your own words. grand.
