A water bottle is a water bottle, right?

Wrong. If you’re still saying that, you clearly haven’t sipped your H2O with Kor – This is a company that’s doing way (WAY) more to make you a sophisticated sipper. You can read about their powerful mission to make the world a healthier place online here, but the bottom line is that they’re creating “hydration vessels” that make you WANT to get the water you need, they make them from harmless, high-grade materials and they pay it forward to make sure its consumers are actively aware of the global water issues that exist today.

Owning a Kor water bottle is also something truly communal. They’ve got a sweet line of clothing, absorption stones and accessories to keep your mind on the magic of staying nourished, naturally.

And what’s even better? Brides (yes, that’s you!!!) who register and attend The Inspired Bride will receive a Kor hydration vessel for their celebrity-level gift bag inside our Gifting Suite! Amongst hundreds of cool items, you can feel pretty darn good about yourself when you know your new (fashionable) thirst accesory is doing some serious good around the world.

We know you’re updating your “delicates” drawer before the big day. And while you may be collecting numerous little nothings, here’s something on the practical side that doesn’t sacrifice the “sexy.”

Doie Lounge designed its line of silk robes with the idea of hanging out in haute couture-style, but they also created a line that the bride could share with her maids… whether getting pampered on a bachelorette weekend, prepping for the big day or recovering from the rockin’ dance floor.

The prints, patterns and fabric are soft, chic and wearable, long after wedding-day festivities have passed. Check out the entire line here where you can shop for yourself or your maids. But, for a chance to win one of these silky somethings for yourself, join me at The Inspired Bride THIS SUNDAY (woohoo!!!) at W Hotel Midtown.

A tasty treat is never complete without a cherry on top, right? But now that you’ve developed a sophisticated style, how do you finish off a sugary scape with the same level of distinction?

Chambre de Sucre designs and creates an entire line of decorative sugar that adds that perfect amount of pop to a cup of tea, a decadent dessert or a sweet serving of coffee (and that’s just what I came up with off the top of my head).

So, what makes this stuff better than what you can buy at Michael’s? The Chambre de Sucre sugars are handcrafted by one of the oldest family-owned businesses in Japan with the highest quality sugar possible. They are over 270 years old and have provided the Royal Family in Japan with their sugar since the time of the Shogun (seriously!). Japanese artisans still use traditional methods to create this luxurious sugar for your cups of tea and coffee.

Ready for a taste? You guessed it – During your jaunt through our celebrity-style gifting suite you can grab a sample of these gorgeous indulgences to take home with you and try for yourself! But, only registered brides can step into the gifting suite, so make sure you’re registered at www.studiowedinspired.eventbrite.com!

It’s not everyday you’ve got access to the results of an intimate craft, so delicate that any ounce of imperfection ruins it. Something so beautiful and handmade, designed and created with intense skill and precision… kinda sounds like true love, right? (insert blushing smiley face here).

Glassbaby, a Seattle-based company specializes in the above, producing candle holders made from the heart and hand.

The process? Glassblowers gather a ball of clear, molten glass on the blowpipe and blow it into a bubble. Next, a piece of colored glass is dropped onto the bubble and rolled over it. Finally, a layer of clear glass is gathered over the color, creating the unique, three-layered starting point of a glassybaby. After reheating, the three-layer glass ball is blown out at the glassblower’s bench. Then the hot glass is dropped into a mold and blown out again to give it some height. Returning to the bench, blowers transfer the glassybaby from the blow pipe onto a punty pole and it is reheated. The glass is then spun on the punty pole and cut down to the familiar glassybaby shape. It’s “knocked” off and stamped with the mark of authenticity… and there you have a glassbaby!
