Editors’ Picks: 16 Wedding Must-Haves from Women-Owned Brands

“Sustainable swimwear brand inBodi Swim, founded by two FIT grads in 2020, recently launched its first bridal collection. Whether you’re packing for a bachelorette party, destination wedding, or honeymoon, these pieces are the perfect addition. I love the sarong-inspired cover-up. The buttery-soft fabric has a little sparkle for some extra oomph.” — Samantha Netkin Brash, Assistant General Manager

“I like to think of these rings (made by Los Angeles-based jeweler Emily Strauss) as a cooler, fresher take on the signet trend that was popular for years. Since they’re thin and stackable, you could get your full monogram, you and your partner’s initials, or spell out something like ‘Wife’ or ‘I do’ as a fun wedding accessory.” — Gabriella Rello Duffy, Editorial Director

“Take your look for any wedding event to the next level with this cute white mule. The adorable floral design by Marina Larroudé is not only the perfect addition to an outfit, but the cloud memory foam sole also makes it easy to dance the night away without killing your feet.” — Shelby Wax, Senior Editor

“Negative Underwear’s bras, underwear, and thermals have changed the game for me in terms of feeling cozy, especially in the winter. Their bras and underwear are so comfortable, but the long underwear and tops from their Whipped Collection are quite literally the softest thing I’ve ever worn. I love cozying up in this set at the end of the day, and because the fabric is so lightweight, I always travel with a few NU pieces. They’re so versatile, lightweight, and great for layering! Some of their colorways are so fun, too—perfect for engagement or bachelorette party gifting!” — Ellie Nan Storck, Senior Editor

“Studio Tesfaye is my go-to boutique for quality, handmade earrings. Its founder, Ruthie Tesfaye, individually creates each piece with innovation and design at the forefront. More specifically, the brand’s ‘Born Stunna Earrings’ are the perfect earrings for brides to wear on the big day.” — Corinne Pierre-Louis, Editor

“This cult-favorite lip balm from Summer Fridays definitely lives up to the hype. Infused with shea butter and a subtle hint of vanilla, a few coats of this must-have makeup product will give your lips a glimmer while locking in moisture. Add this product to cart if you’re a bride-to-be who wants to elevate your pre-wedding skin care routine or if you’re looking for a wedding day gloss.” — Lilly Blomquist, Editorial Assistant

“If you’re looking for custom merch for your bridal party, run, don’t walk, to NUS. I worked with Balim Tezel, the founder of this female-owned business, to customize these ‘Skinny Marg Social Club’ crewnecks for my bridesmaids, and it was a big hit! The sweatshirts are cozy, cool, and easy to personalize for your crew.” — Jessica Chassin, Senior Social Media Editor

“Mejuri is one of my favorite places for affordable jewelry that still feels trendy and luxurious. I’ve bought several pieces from them over the years, but to this day, my Leo necklace from their zodiac collection is my go-to. This (newly updated) necklace is perfect for everyday use and layering for any event. Plus, I love the idea of gifting this to a bridal party based on their sign!” — Araziel Jackson, Associate Social Media Editor

“There are few things I love more in life than a cozy sweatshirt, and THE GREAT, a woman-owned business based in California, makes my all-time favorite. The College Sweatshirt looks perfectly lived-in and lightly distressed, and they’re such staple pieces in my wardrobe that I’m not ashamed to say I own it in five colors. I even gifted them to my bridesmaids ahead of my own wedding!” — Gabriella Rello Duffy, Editorial Director

“Want to add a kitchen essential to your registry that also makes a design statement? These colorful measuring cups from Great Jones will bring more joy to your cooking and look great on display, too.” — Shelby Wax, Senior Editor

These are perfect for spring, summer, and fall weddings—as a bride or a guest!” — Ellie Nan Storck, Senior Editor

“I consider myself to be a nail aficionado, and if you’re anything like me, then you’ll love CHRMDbySarah.

“Founded by Ariel Kaye in 2014, Parachute has quickly made a name for itself in the home space. Although it offers an abundance of amazing products that are ideal for a wedding registry, an item I’ve had my eye on is the plush Turkish cotton robe. It comes in six different colors and is made with 100-percent Turkish cotton, which makes it the perfect attire to lounge around the house in. To really go all out, pair with the matching slippers!” — Lilly Blomquist, Editorial Assistant

“Whether this is a gift for your maid of honor to thank her for planning your bachelorette party or just a gift to yourself, you can’t go wrong with wine from women-led wineries! With options to select six or 12 cans, you can try a little bit of everything from various female winemakers.” — Jessica Chassin, Senior Social Media Editor
