Since its wedding season, I find no better time to showcase one of my favorite wedding shops, BHLDN. This Anthropologie shop has truly become a staple in event clothing and decor. From bridal gowns and bridesmaid dresses to accessories and wedding decor, it definitely is a one stop shop for sure.

They carry unique items that all have a bit of a vintage flair and whimsy feel. I highly recommend every bride visit their website and take a look around. If anything, for inspiration. If you’re lucky enough to live by one of their shops, stop in and say hello. I can promise you will leave with a smile.

There is so much BHLDN offers it would probably take a few posts to list all of my favorite things so I decided to list a few items I love that you can find in each category. I hope you enjoy looking at them as much I do.

I came across Raw Materials Design and fell in love. Here are a few reasons why.

1. All their products are made and sourced in the United States.
2. The shop is descended from four generations.
3. Everything is handmade by skilled craftsmen.
4. All items are made from 100% cotton.
5. It’s said their products will last a lifetime.
6. All the products have a unique raw style suitable for every home.

Raw Materials Design

This shop is awesome. Plain and simple. They offer aprons, linens, and a few home good items that are all made extremely well as well as look beautiful. I happen to love the handmade feel so I can appreciate the design element the stitching brings to the pieces. Because its blue and red, each item carries that Americana feel from the old days. Just enough detail to add style without being over the top.

The shop has been mentioned in a variety of media from Better Homes and Gardens and Whole Living Magazine to the Today Show and deserves every bit of it. A company that stands on value, tradition, and supporting hardworking men and women, is a company I like to give business to. And the fact that everything is sourced and made in America is a huge bonus.

So here is a little introduction to their items. Hope you all love them as much as I do.
