Shop Closed for August

 

Greetings! 

 

The shop will be closed for most of the month of August! (sad face) 

But it is all for good reasons! 

I decided to close for this month because there is just so much madness. First of all, we made a very tough decision and we decided it was time to move to a better school district for our children who need extra attention in school. We loved our little farm home but the school district there was horrible. So we packed up our home and moved a few towns over to a very amazing school district! 

Our new home has allowed me to set up Sweet Neon's soap studio right in my house so I don't have to pay anymore studio rental fees. Chicka-chicka yeah! 

Second of all. I needed to focus on preparing for the holiday season for the shop. Last season was awesome but I will admit things would have gone a bit smoother in the shop if I had planned things out a little earlier! 

Last but the most incredible is that I am getting married August 24th! Even though it is just an intimate ceremony there has turned out to still be quite a bit of planning and work involved. 

So all these things combined I decided there was no better time for a break! 

Have a lovely day!

Top Soap Favors for Weddings

Here are my shops top 10 selling soaps for wedding favors this year! 

1. Lavender Lemonade : This is the highest selling soap for wedding favors. Brides really love that Lavender! :) 

2. Carrot Cake  - Was a big seller for spring weddings. 

3. Peony - Elegant and perfect for a May wedding. These are also a big hit for bridal shower favors. 

4. Champagne & Pears - Sparkly and refreshing. Great for classic black tie affair type of weddings. 

5. Balsam  - I sell alot of these for weddings and showers especially since I am located in the Adirondacks. These are great for rustic or mountain weddings. 

6. Sex on the Beach  - Not only is a big seller for beach weddings, it's also been a hit for bachelorette parties! 

7. Bacon - For the silly bride! This is surprisingly my ultimate number one selling bar overall but actually many brides bought it this year for favors.  

8. Wasabi - Foodie brides loved this bar. 

9. Elderberry Wine  - These were purchased quite a few times in bulk this year for different events and some of them were weddings. Including a steampunk style wedding! Also sold them as favors for a Spamalot Production cast giveaway. So cool! 

10. Gingerale - An interesting favor pick. A great favor for mid-summer weddings.

I have sold many soaps from my collection as wedding favors this year for different themes but these are the ones that constantly got ordered. 

♥ Also keep in mind if you are thinking, "Gee, those soaps would make awesome favors for my wedding but I have so many guests, I could never afford enough for all of them." I have the perfect solution. I sell my bars in half size at half the price if need be. That way a bride can easily order 150-200 bars without spending a fortune. ♥ 

Of course brides have also been loving the fact that I can customize any label to fit the theme of make it say what ever they wish! 


Have a lovely day!
