This year, I put together a gift guide filled with beautiful and unique finds perfect for the creatives in your life, especially those getting married! Here are my top 10 picks, all from amazing small businesses (and none of them paid me to feature them!).
Silver Sixpence In Her Shoe
I am a big fan of Silver Sixpence in her shoeâs bridal jewellery and accessories, and I thought that this would be perfect for bride-to-beâs and the bridal party. These lovely pieces are not only for your big day, but also for when you just want to look glam! If you are the bride-to-be, send this to your future spouse as a hint for what you want!

2. Soleil Dee
I have to shoutout about one of my faves, Soleil Dee! EvaD the brains behind the handmade fabric accessories made of African wax-print. EvaD is such a talented artist and just the nicest human being! She even made her own wedding backdrop/banner earlier this summer! P.S. I love this bottlebag, perfect for gifting wine and beer to your loved ones this Christmas season, which can be reused again in the summer for those long roadtrips!
