On the weekend of Small Business Saturday (also known as one of the biggest shopping weekends of the year), we wanted to spotlight some of OUR favorite online small businesses. These are people we buy from, and we actually know most of the owners personally!

Just a thought – let’s make EVERY Saturday a Small Business Saturday Thank you for supporting your community!

Small Business Wedding Vendors We Love and Recommend

Sugar Rose Veils makes the most stunning wedding veils and hairpieces! Jael isn’t reselling stock items; each item is custom-made to order. My favorite is her scattered pearl veil – what an elegant way to add some interest to your wedding look. In addition to her Etsy store, follow Jael on Instagram to see what goes into creating her wedding accessories and see images of real brides. If you’re in the Midwest area, Jael also creates stunning wedding florals. See her website – Sugar Rose Gardens.

Looking to add a personalized Michigan touch to your gifts? We absolutely LOVE Smitten Woodworks! Jared and Mariah are a husband and wife team specializing in wood crafting. We love their wooden tie bars, which can be ordered separately or as a bulk gift set. In addition to tie bars and women’s jewelry, their charcuterie boards are popular craft fair items. Check out their website or follow along on Instagram to see more behind the scenes.

Another small business to check out for customized gifts is Wells & Whiskers Handmade. Vanessa specializes in custom gifts. She has a website & Etsy shop but the best place to stay up to date is her Instagram, where she posts regularly. Her sweatshirts would be so cute for bridesmaid gifts!

If you’re looking to simplify the gift giving/wrapping/delivering process, consider ordering a custom gift basket from Summer of Basket Girlie. Summer loves making customized gift baskets for busy people like you! If you live in or around Green Bay, Wisconsin, Summer can build a basket and hand-deliver it to your recipient. If you’re not in the Northwoods area, Summer is happy to help create a custom gift box and put it in the mail. Summer also loves to put together welcome bags for weddings and serves all of eastern Wisconsin, even down to Milwaukee.

Finally, we were introduced to Farm Sudz after Ross and Abby shared their soaps as wedding favors for their guests. We’re a big fan of favors people can actually use, instead of something that will only get used for the day. (Ahem, can koozies, etc.) Farm Sudz soaps smell SO good and felt great on our skin, too!
