From the perfect wedding accessories to a distinctive style statement for an evening out, we thrive on creating fresh designs to make “that gown” uniquely your gown.

A little more about Bear Creative Co.:

"WE WANT TO TELL YOUR STORY We believe your story is worth telling. Don’t you love to look at a photo and feel something? So do we. The best part is we are the ones who get to feel it in the moment and capture it for LIFE! The messy, the raw, the real, and every moment in between. We want to get all up in your life with you and truly experience it. That way we can tell it as authentically as possible because it is beautiful and it is yours. So, lets awkwardly dance together, laugh, and just have some fun. We don’t think it’s all about those stiff poses but movement. We are moment seekers! So, laugh with your love, tickle your babies while rolling on the floor, run through the field, make a mini rap video, or just cuddle on the couch. You do you and let us come along. Because let’s be real, we are all so very different and those differences should be celebrated. Each interaction of love is amazing. Show us how you love and let us tell YOUR story!"
