Whether you’re shopping for the wedding party, the parents of the happy couple, or the happy couple themselves, you’re likely to find a locally made treasure that checks all the boxes at Dexter Mill.
Wedding Shopping in Downtown Dexter: Dexter Mill
Super-local Gifting for Newlyweds and Wedding Parties
Many couples give longtime family traditions a modern twist when they get married. A bride turns the dress her mom and grandma wore into an elegant capelet. A hora takes place in a charming, wedding-friendly barn. There’s a ring bearer, but he’s a Chihuahua puppy rather than a human toddler. You get the idea!
Dexter Mill is fueled by an old-meets-new spirit similar to the one that powers many weddings at our historic Michigan farm. This farm-and-garden center has served the Dexter area since 1919, becoming a destination for locally made gifts as well as everyday staples. Located on the edge of downtown Dexter and about a mile from our rustic-meets-refined Michigan wedding venue, it’s the perfect place to hunt for gifts that are both meaningful and unexpected. Sure, the Dexter Mill is our go-to place for all of our garden and farm needs, but they have so much more to offer!
Brimming with Care and Coziness
Whether you’re shopping for the wedding party, the parents of the happy couple, or the happy couple themselves, you’re likely to find a locally made treasure that checks all the boxes at Dexter Mill. The shop often has items that can be personalized for gift giving. For example, a handcrafted cutting board can be engraved with the couple’s initials or wedding date, elevating it from functional gift to timeless keepsake. You could also engrave a set of flasks for some scotch-loving attendants or a pocket knife for the man of honor who’s saved the day on several occasions.
Need to thank some bridesmaids for their service? Personalize functional yet fashionable tote bags, which they can use to carry magazines, beauty products, or a pair of comfy shoes. Or, pair handmade candles with other calming aids such as cozy throw blankets and locally produced tea and honey. It’s easy to build a basket of these items for the parents of couple, too. Consider adding a decorative picture frame for some wedding photos taken in our gorgeous gardens and Greek Revival farmhouse. Our combination of historic buildings and natural beauty is hard to beat when it comes to documenting your special day.
