Lauren shopped on Etsy for items for her Fall 2018 wedding. She enjoyed it so much, but also found some gaps in the marketplace.
So after the wedding ceremony was over and things settled down, she decided to following her driving desire to open an Etsy shop and use her design skills to offer products she enjoyed making for her own wedding to other engaged couples.
And that’s how Copper & Confetti Co. was born.
Lauren sells custom digital art for all of life’s special moments. Her desire is to offer engaged couples unique items that will help make their weddings more personalized and more “them”.
With a passion for art and design, Lauren typically creates products she wanted of her own wedding but was unable to find available online at the time.
For that added personal touch, she offers products that can be customized and works closely with her customers so that they can have the exact wedding they envision.
