Baileyโ€™s Recommended Wedding Vendors

Having been in the wedding industry for 10 years now, Iโ€™ve met and collaborated with lot of wedding vendors in the process. In an effort to make your vendor search easier, and in order to lift up other small businesses I love, Iโ€™ve highlighted my favorite wedding vendors (aka โ€œfriendorsโ€) in this exhaustive list. I have no business agreement with these individuals, just support and love.

Youโ€™ll find high-quality vendors many of whom are queer-affirming, eco-friendly, BIPOC or woman-owned and bring the upmost attention to detail to your dream wedding!

Alexis Levan

I see clothing not just as something to wear, but as a reflection of who we are. With a focus on conscious, refined design and a distinctly personal touch, I create pieces for the modern brideโ€™s entire wedding weekend.

I source fabrics and trims locally and intentionally, reducing waste while maintain a close connection to every step of the process.

At the heart of my work is a promise: that every woman feels seen, heard, and cherished. I design not only to reflect who she is, but awaken something within her she hasnโ€™t met yet. More than a label, Alexis Levan is a deeply personal experience-rooted in emotion, intention, and love.โ€

Mark Ingram Atelier

Mr. Ingram established his own namesake collection โ€˜Mark Ingram Brideโ€™ as a response to hearing firsthand the gowns that his customers were missing the most. The Mark Ingram Bride is a Collection brand first but truly so much more of an adjective. The title embodies the woman and the women who inspire their effortless look and feel. They are simple yet stately, they are delicate but impactful. The Mark Ingram Bride Collection is inspired by the women who adorn the gowns and their innate appreciation for chic, quality, and impeccable design.

Amsale

For designer Amsale (Ahm-sahโ€™-leh) Aberra, it all started with a single wedding dress: her own. Seeking a more modern silhouette for her 1985 nuptials, Ethiopian native Amsale found her options limited. She eschewed the overly ornateโ€”on-trend in that eraโ€”and crafted her own pared-down design, elegant in its simplicity and quiet in its impact, featuring a distinct style that was modern and personal at once. Three decades later, her refined and modern aesthetic endures in a variety of collections - and Amsale herself is widely credited as the inventor of the modern wedding dress.

Canvas Weddings

Iโ€™ve been in the wedding world since 2012, with hundreds of events under my belt. From the moment I entered weddings, I saw them for what they truly are: living, breathing works of art.

My approach blends high-touch organization with calm, confident energy. Think: Type A logistics with a creative soul. Iโ€™ll guide the process with clarity and intention, keeping things beautifully structured, while still making space for spontaneity, inspiration, and a little fun along the way.
