Personalized Wedding Socks

This spring we received an order from a bride-to-be for some personalized wedding socks.  They turned out exceptionally fun, so we sent the customer an email asking if we could post photos of her socks on The Happy Sole and our other social media sites.  She replied that she created the socks to wear on the day of her wedding.  She would be wearing cowboy boots with her wedding dress and during the reception they would be playing the “Shoe Game.”  Since she would be taking off her shoes she wanted to wear some cute, personalized socks! 

Unfamiliar with the shoe game, I did a little research to find out how it works.  After dinner and some dancing at the reception, two chairs are placed in the middle of the dance floor back to back for the bride and groom.  The couple takes off their shoes, gives one of them to their partner and keeps one.  A designated person then asks the couple a series of questions about them (i.e. – Who is the better kisser?  Who is smarter?  Who will be doing the cooking?).  After each question, the bride and groom holds up the shoe of the person that they think best answers the question.  What a fun way for wedding guests to learn more about the newlyweds!

  

Thank you to Mrs. Dudley for sharing your wedding photos with us, and congratulations!  Your story is sure to inspire other brides!

Custom Printed Socks Featuring Etsy Artists

Sockprints has teamed up with some very talented Etsy artists to bring our customers a fun new option when purchasing custom printed socks!  Sold in sets of three at SockprintsOnEtsy, each pair of socks displays a beautiful design or photograph from these select artists.    

We’re pleased to introduce you to them...

Paint, Fabric and Whimsy

Meet Kelly Walston of Paint, Fabric and Whimsy.  As a native Californian her work is influenced by Mexican Folk Art.  She incorporates highly detailed and colorful Oaxacan style to her artwork.  Kelly is also inspired by her experience working with children’s museums and with her own daughters.  For more information about Kelly’s art, take a peek at her Etsy shop, PaintFabricWhimsy.

We love the bright vibrant colors of her artwork and how beautiful and detailed they print on our white socks!

Lark Road Rhymes

Stephanie Girard’s Etsy shop, Lark Road Rhymes features made to order poems and messages.  When we saw how she personalizes each poem and how great her designs look on photo paper, we knew they’d be a hit for our custom socks too.  Stephanie’s unique, personalized designs make great engagement and wedding gifts.  She also has a full selection of children’s poems for nurseries, baptism, and youth sports. 

We’re happy to announce that we’re adding youth size socks to our product line up later this summer and we look forward to working with Stephanie to bring some children’s designs to our socks too!

Tapadh Leibh Cards

Meet Kimberley from Tapadh Leibh Cards!  She’s a teacher with a passion for working with youth as well as the performing and fine arts.  Her art is inspired by her family, friends, humor and her travels.  Tapadh Leibh means, thank you, in Gaelic and pays homage to her Scottish heritage.

The photograph shown on this pair of socks was taken in Cowichan Bay, British Columbia Canada and is titled, “Natural Color.”  Simply beautiful!
