Happy Fall + Blog Break
It's officially Fall! Yay! I'm on a short blog break this week. I'll be back on October 01.

DIY Bride of Frankenstein
... or "You Go Ghoul!" (I couldn't decide on a subject line.) Today feels like Fall. It's gloriously delicious and cozy and wonderful. There's a teeny, tiny bit of rain this morning, just enough to clean the air and give the neighborhood that crisp, fresh Autumn scent. Looking at the calendar (and the latest round of ...
Linky Love
As an ongoing expression of gratitude, I've been sending out some linky love to all of the awesome peeps who've either given DIY Bride a mention or a direct link. If you've missed my previous linky posts, do check out the fine sites I've mentioned here and here. I'm truly blown away by the fascinating, creative, ...
Shameless Groveling: Vote for Baked NYC!
Hey everyone, As I'm certain you're aware, Martha Stewart has teamed up with the Today Show to throw an ultra-fab wedding for one lucky couple. Viewers (that's you) get to vote on nifty things like the bridal attire and vendor selections. Neat, right? Well, one of the nominated vendors for the cake selection is Baked NYC who ...
Oooh! A new Bride-O-Rama episode!
Last month I blogged about the launch of the online television show Bride-O-Rama. Well, they've released a new episode this week and it's just as cool as the first. This episode is from Melanie and Saul, a fun New York couple. What I love about this episode are the personal touches, especially those incorporating their families ...
I hate (most) bridal showers.
I'm not a friend of the traditional bridal shower. The mere rumor of one being held in my social circle makes me break out in a sweat of dread and dismay. It's not that I dislike hanging with my pals or that I don't want to celebrate the bride. (I love my friends and ...
Registries
After my "About My Wedding" post a few days ago, I've received several emails asking what I'd change about my registry. (I had no idea registries were such a hot topic.) I'm kinda squeamish about registries. The idea of telling my guests what to give me still makes me a bit uncomfy. I know, as ...
Crochet Wedding Cake
It's crafts like this that make me wish I were a fiber crafter. Berroco, fashion yarn house, is offering a free pattern/instructions for making this most awesome Crochet Wedding Cake. Can you stand it? I'm dying over here from the cuteness. The layers of the cake are separate. That means you can put stuff inside! Berroco shows ...
About My Wedding
I don't talk about my wedding much here mostly because it is now in the distant past. Next month will mark my 7th wedding anniversary and to reference it seems somehow odd. Weddings haven't changed that much since 2000, really. The trends are different, sure, and you guys have so many more options and resources now. ...
