Tiny Business Bazaar

tiny business bazaar

Tiny businesses—smaller than small—thrive on the individual owners hustling hard. They are brilliant generalists, innovative thinkers, and profit-focused locals. We are thrilled to present the first Tiny Business Bazaar featuring a handful of our local favorites. Visit us now through the holiday season at lululemon as we showcase some of our favorite tiny businesses in Chicago.

November 16-17: Ianneci Jewelry
Shop for necklaces, earrings and bracelets hand-made in Chicago by two of our fave rockstar women business owners.

November 22-24: Sacred Serve
Sinfully delicious gelato. Need we say more? Ok, we will. It’s not sinful. It’s sustainable, Chicago-made and plant-based. And it tastes so, so good.

November 29-30: Luna Bay Booch
Boozy kombucha. Oh yeah. Luna Bay is the first non-GMO, gluten-free, low sugar libation crafted in Chicago. Welcome to your new favorite drink.

Dec. 6-8: Maven Collection
The Maven Collection has everything you need for a beautiful and comfy home – Moroccan rugs, pillows, baskets and much more. You may have to stop us from buying it all…

December 14: Holiday Market
Our Tiny Business Bazaar culminates with all our pop-ups (and then some!) in one place. Shop tiny, snack on bites, and connect with Chicago’s rising entrepreneurs.

December 14 from 1-4 PM at lululemon on North Avenue.

 

retro wedding at ovation + st. ignatius

Where do we start with this one?! Stephanie + Matt booked us more than a year before their wedding at Ovation so to say we were looking forward to their big day is a huge understatement. We had so much fun working with Stephanie and Matt leading up to the day that we knew there was no way our relationship with them would end after the wedding weekend.

artifact events wedding for the win

Hilary + Joe hosted an Artifact Events wedding this summer and it was truly a perfect day. From Joe’s taco socks to the taco bar guests dove into for dinner, the day was laid-back, relaxed, and, of course, included sharing a few glasses of tequila among friends.

wedding planning checkpoints you should know

This is the first in a three-part series on wedding planning checkpoints.

A lot of our clients come to us halfway or most of the way through the planning process. At that point, they’ve usually been relying on family and friends or — gasp! — the Internet for advice on what to do and when and that’s great, but we know it’s not enough.

We’re here to help! You can call us two years before your wedding or a few weeks before and we’re there for you from the minute you do (unlimited advice comes with all of our wedding packages). In the meantime, here are some tips for what you need to get done and when to make things a little easier.
