During the early days we have had many challenges coming up with creative ideas for Brides looking for something to suit their theme. One outstanding example comes to mind. We were doing a Bridal Convention and a Bride came to our booth and asked if we did anything with handcuffs. After my look of surprise, she explained that she and her groom were Federal Agents and almost all of their guests would be either Federal Agents or Police Officers. They had been searching for a year for something to tie in with their theme. I knew I could meet the challenge and assured her I would come up with something in their theme that wouldn't be tacky. I found a lovely fabric covered picture frame that opened like a book and had a place for wallet sized photos on each side of the inside of the frame. I also found toy badges. I attached the badge to the outside front of the frame, and in the insert where the photos would go, I did a graphic of a pair of handcuffs and put their names and marriage date within each cuff. She was thrilled with the finished product. It usually causes quite a reaction by the brides who see it and I always have to explain it, but it always brings a smile to our face.
Another time we received a call from an event Coordinator who had a Bride who was Chinese and her Groom was Japanese. They wanted to tie in the differences in their culture with their gifts. After speaking to the Bride I discovered that there were sweets that were especially associated with each culture. She offered to supply us with the sweets, which we put into a box, designed a “recipe card” item card, and we created a poem explaining the joining of the two cultures represented by the sweets. Once more, we met the challenge.
After a few years of offering hand made items, which set us apart from other retailers, we expanded our line to include picture frames, crystal, silver, candles, etc. with the idea that the gift would be a lovely remembrance gift for the guests. When we started our line, we were the only company that was offering picture frames for place settings.
