Supporting Local And Small Businesses In My Wedding

Some of the best purchases I have made for @mickeybeaves and I’s wedding have been to local and small business artists! Two of my favorites are our cake artist Shelby Bower and Collin with essarai ceramics who I commissioned to make 5 custom vases(in the picture above) that will be center pieces on the tables! Both whom I have followed on social media admiring for the past two years!

Collin is a talented ceramic artist who was extremely easy to work with, he is kind and very attentive to details! The vases I received for my reception are simply stunning! Exactly what I wanted, they are shimmery, sleek and so classy, I honestly cannot wait to put them to use on the big day and after use one to hold my paintbrushes!

You can get your very own mug, cake stand, vase, tumbler, incense holder, tea cup set, jewelry holder or more customized by Collin here: https://www.etsy.com/shop/EssaraiCeramics?ref=s2-header-shopname

Shelby is a renowned cake artist, she excels in sugar work and cake sculptures! I was sooo lucky to get her for the day of the reception, she is crafting a gravity defying strawberry geode cake (similar to the picture above) for our big day in colors that match our vases! Shelby has won awards in many cake competitions for her creativity!

You can find Shelby on her Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/shelbyelizabethcakes
Where she provides details on her cake and cookie creation classes and cakes that she makes custom and provides to the greater Houston area!

It’s important to support these local and small businesses, they are making a living off of their passions with your help and I would choose to give my business to and support a local or small business owner over corporations any day!
