Two custom broom stories, two meaningful legacies. Meet the couple who chose family quilt motifs woven into the bristles to honor (the bride's) grandmother’s sewing circle, and the pair who selected bold kente-inspired ribbons and added Adinkra symbols to celebrate their Ghanaian roots. Both began with a thoughtful design consult where we listened to memories, suggested culturally respectful motifs, and created concepts until every detail felt right. These brooms aren’t just ceremony props; they’re heirlooms that carry story, symbolism, and style. Link in bio to learn about our consultation process and start your own custom design. What symbol would you add to your ceremony piece? Tell us below!
