You can shop their gorgeous collection online or in person (by appointment only) at their West Bottoms studio. 

A one-of-a-kind piece of furniture from Madison Flitch

Located in the Crossroads, Madison Flitch creates furniture that is just as sculptural as it is functional. Not only does founder John Pryor focus on highlighting artisans local to KC, but he also makes use of the natural landscapes and materials around us to celebrate the region. From chairs and tables to pots and bowls, these pieces are sure to take your breath away. 

A gorgeous piece of wall art from Cerebra Gallery

Home to both world-renowned and emerging contemporary artists, the Cerebra Gallery offers a variety of unique pieces of art at a range of price points. Paintings, drawings, photography, original prints and more can be found online, but you can view them in person by scheduling an appointment at their Crossroads gallery. 

A custom-built frame from Honey Framing

If you can score a photo of the newlyweds, consider gifting it in a custom frame. Honey Framing, located in the crossroads, creates handmade frames sourced from local lumber yards. Choose from a variety of wood tones and mounting styles (or even repurposed/refinished frames) to make something that truly suits the couple you have in mind. 

A relaxing couples massage treatment at Solaris 

You didn’t think we’d leave ourselves off the list, did you? Help the happy couple relax after a long day of wedding planning with one of our couples' massage gift certificates. Simply choose between a 60- or 90-minute session, and let the recipients pick the day and time that works best. NOTE: If you think they’d like the option of a hot stone massage, be sure to pick the 90-minute option! 

Choosing a local wedding gift is not just thoughtful, it also celebrates artistry, craftsmanship, and a sense of community—which means your gift will be treasured for years to come. Whether it's a handcrafted piece of furniture, a locally sourced gourmet basket, or a personalized artwork inspired by the couple's love story, these gifts allow you to make a positive impact while celebrating the union of two hearts. Let your gift be a symbol of love, support, and the vibrant local spirit as you wish the newlyweds a lifetime of happiness.
