I absolutely love the summer wedding season – getting dressed up, seeing lovely friends, celebrating gorgeous couples, wedding everything obviously – but one thing that I always find a bit stressful is finding the perfect gift. That’s probably because I usually go off-registry, though. I mean, I get that they’re useful, but I always want people to know I’ve actually taken the time to think about and choose the perfect gift for them, and not just ticked a box on a list. That’s why Etsy is such a brilliant resource for finding the perfect, cool, unique wedding gift. It’s full of beautiful handmade presents you would never have thought of otherwise, lovingly created – many personalised. Whatever your budget, you’re sure to find a creative wedding gift that suits the couple you’re buying for. In fact, you could get lost browsing there for HOURS, so to save you some time, I’ve picked out 20 of my personal favourite Etsy wedding gifts, all sold in the UK.

It can take a lot of thought to come up with the perfect first dance.

Each features a real vinyl record with a personalised label, as well as the actual sound wave of your chosen song. A great gift for music lovers!

A couple’s wedding album is of course their most precious memento from their wedding day, but there are often many other tangible 3D reminders that they want to keep – a letter, a swatch of lace, a garter, a something blue.

One of my favourite gifts that I’ve given in the past is a set of wines for various anniversaries (say 1, 5 and 10). This personalised wine box takes it to the next level and makes for beautiful presentation. Alternatively, fill it with bottles from their winery wedding venue, from a place that’s special to them, or with the wine served at the reception.
