We are a private boutique that creates a space for brides to have a top-notch bridal experience while simultaneously changing the lives of local women with their dress purchase. 100% of the proceeds go to benefit women who have been trafficked and exploited in the Chicagoland area.

We extract honey from our urban apiaries in the heart of the North Lawndale community in Chicago. Our honey is known for its complex flavor, a result of the varied flora of our urban environment. Our natural, high quality products are produced by men and women returning from incarceration. At Sweet Beginnings, these talented men and women develop a stable work history, learn marketable skills and gain the confidence they need to re-enter the workforce. Our products transform you, your purchase transforms lives.

She has been keeping me clean and smelling good for a year or so. I've been bedazzled by her tuberose soap, it's quite the man trapper. I have also tried her other herbal and scented soaps and a lotion too. We sat and smelled beautiful soaps in her home workshop until our noses stop working.

The beautiful engagement pictures you see on this site were taken by Mike. He shivered in the cold right there with us. We are going to be asking him to make an encore for our wedding pictures.
