Whether you are planning a wedding or searching for the perfect wedding gift, thinking local is sure to help you make a statement. I put together a list of local companies that every bride should know.
Invitations
Igloo Letterpress is a modern letterpress printer that pushes the envelope (get it?) with their innovative digital and analog techniques. Brides can visit their retail shop in Worthington to customize a package that will beautifully express the style of any wedding. Invitations set the tone for what guests should expect from your big day, they also serve as mementos that can be framed with wedding photos and displayed for years. Point being, make them great!

Cake
Who needs a wedding cake when they can have wedding cupcakes? Cupcakes are perfect for weddings because they are easy, guests can easily grab one and they don’t need to use a fork, they save time on cake cutting, are adorable, and you can offer them in a variety of different flavors. My number one go-to for delicious cupcakes is Tin Bakery, a fairly new cupcakery in Upper Arlington. The owner Elaine, is delightfully friendly and the cupcakes are to die for.

Hair and Makeup
This one goes to the ladies at Canvas Salon & Skin Bar. Located in Powell. Canvas is Ohio’s newest Aveda salon that specializes in image customization focusing on haircuts, hair color, skincare, waxing and makeup services.

Jewelry
Finding jewelry to compliment your wedding dress can be hard, finding jewelry to perfectly match your bridesmaid dress can feel nearly impossible. Thanks to Kate Stevens of Red Giraffe Designs, brides now have an option that doesn’t require searching hundreds of stores all over town. Kate will work one on one with brides or bridal parties to create a custom jewelry, and hair accessories, she has even made custom photo lockets that brides can attach to their bouquets.
