Mother’s day gifts 2023
When we decided to open our own bridal boutique, Oscar and I thought hard about what is going to make us different. What are our values? What do we have that is different?
We quickly found out that we wanted something that can’t be found around her and also supports other businesses aren’t “big box” designers. You might have heard of our designers yet but that is what we love. We carefully selected artisans that are hands on in the workflow of the wedding process.
Emma Katzka Earrings, Jane, $198
Emma Katza earrings, Amy, $118
Our jewelry is all hand made; the makers have even posted videos of making some of the very same styles that are in our store! Emma Katza designs the most beautiful earrings out of South Carolina but we also love her story. She is a mom who once posted a video of herself in her car, making jewelry while she waited for her son’s practice to be over. Talk about a boss babe! No joke- I have to order another pair of her pearl upside down “u” earrings because I took our sample and wear them almost every day.
Twigs & Honey, $58
Twigs and Honey is a group of women in Oregon who specialize in jewelry, belts, headpieces and have recently introduced scarves. Their creations are so beautiful and their sparkly earrings have been a customer favorite!
In almost 20 years in the bridal business, I have never felt any veils that compare to the quality of Arial Taub’s veils and she makes them in Michigan! Funny story on how we met her. We were at market and were finalizing our Julie Vino order. Our rep said, “Do you need any veils? When we have market, I have gotten to know this really great designer. You really should check her out- she’s just in the next aisle.” She is the sweetest woman and is open to really customizing pieces for customers.
LCV, $168
LCV, $198
Finally, I have to give all the credit to Oscar for Les Courrones de Victoire. After weeks and weeks of searching, he came across this maker from Paris. PARIS! They are not a big company and even have do it yourself classes in their Paris studio. These flowers are preserved in a way that they never yellow and they keep their vibrant colors indefinitely. You know how flowers get brittle and break when you dry them yourself? Not the case for these beauties. Seriously, these earrings and headpieces will blow your mind. They even create boutonnieres to match!
With Mother’s Day approaching, treat your mom, or even yourself, to some of these amazing women’s pieces of art. They are timeless pieces you can feel great about wearing. Send us a message to order or stop by Thursdays-Mondays to pick out a stunning accessory.
With Løv,
