Better late than never… here are some of my favorite vendors from the Indie Wed Show in late January:
This amazing dress made of letterpress cards was made by Paper Stories, the folks who were responsible for putting the Indie Wed show together in Chicago at the end of January. Their cards and stationery are really lovely and also ecologically and socially responsible. They print on recycled, tree-free paper with vegetable-based inks and donate a portion of their profits to charity.
I had the great pleasure of being next to Brooklyn chocolatier, Daniel, of Fine and Raw Chocolate. In addition to being the nicest guy, his chocolate was amazing! So good that I could hardly believe it was all free of sugar and dairy. His packaging was lovely as well. I highly recommend the bonbons in particular.
One of my favorite vendors was Sarah Neuburger, of The Small Object. Her wedding toppers, made out of clothespins, are so nicely made. What fun to replace the traditional toppers with a handmade, custom topper of the bride and groom!
Finally, Magnolia Photo Booth Company had one of their booths on location to try out. I love the idea of having a photo booth like this at a wedding. Beyond being a great way to collect photos of your friends and family, the booth itself lends such character and design to the reception.
There were so many other vendors that I could gush about. Read more about all of them here.
On a similar note, if you are from Michigan, check out GRunveiled, an upcoming show in Grand Rapids. Bringing together a great group of independent and contemporary local vendors, it is sure to be a really fabulous event.
