A custom-built frame from Honey Framing
If you can score a photo of the newlyweds, consider gifting it in a custom frame. Honey Framing, located in the crossroads, creates handmade frames sourced from local lumber yards. Choose from a variety of wood tones and mounting styles (or even repurposed/refinished frames) to make something that truly suits the couple you have in mind.
A relaxing couples massage treatment at Solaris
