In continuing with a day of new wedding shops and products, we now move onto a brand new online wedding boutique called Orange & Blossom. This boutique is filled with "handcrafted, exclusive, & simply desirable wedding embellishments". The creator, Lisa Marie is a former Weddings editor who wanted to take the finds that she used to assemble on magazine pages and put them into a boutique for modern couples that area looking for something meaningful and different.

I'm in love with some of the items, including the Fun Flower Garden Grass Mat that can be used as a cute placemat for a bridal shower luncheon. There are so many wonderful gift ideas and decor accents to browse thru on the site.

To celebrate the launch of the boutique, Lisa Marie is offering readers of Brenda's Wedding Blog $5 off any purchase over $50 with promo code BEAUTIFUL. This offer is valid now through July 15. (everyday shipping is just $5 and free w/$200+ order)

Today I will be sharing with you some wonderful new wedding shops and products that I've been introduced to recently. The first is from Michele of Not just Any Old Day. She creates unique Calendar Keepsake Charms that are "a lovely new way to remember, cherish and celebrate a very significant month and day in the life of the person who receives it". I think this is such a lovely gift idea and keepsake. Along with the charms, Michele also has necklaces, bracelets and keyrings available for purchase.

Cherin, owner of Customized Wedding Creations emailed recently to introduce me to her company that specializes in "creating custom, hand-painted aisle runners for weddings and events at prices designed not to break the bank". For those that are looking for a bit bling, Customized Wedding Creations also offers the option of adorning the aisle runner with either rhinestones or genuine Swarovski crystals.
All of the work created at Customized Wedding Creations is done by hand, which results it each order being one-of-a-kind. In addition to the aisle runners, you can also order custom parasols, seating charts, table runners, banners and signs.

And, lastly, Cherin is currently offering readers of Brenda's Wedding Blog 10% off any purchase at Customized Wedding Creations with coupon code: TEN09.
