One of the great misconceptions about DIY weddings is that they’re somehow unglamorous, even tacky, affairs. Pshaw, I say! As you’ve seen here, at DIY Bride, (and at the growing number of DIY blogs popping up) do-it-yourself weddings can be gorgeous, elegant and utterly fabulous with a little effort and the right resources. Finding those resources – and sharing them with you – is something I love to do.
Imagine my delight when the team at Preston Bailey contacted me to introduce Preston’s first product for us, the DIY crowd. Inspired by his love of empowering couples to do-it-yourself, Preston is offering a complete how-to guide and resource manual to create the Wedding Bell, this stuning table setting from his book “Celebrations”. Can you believe this look is achieved by using paper? Genius!
On April 06, 2009, Preston will offer a limited number 1,000 of copies of Wedding Bell for sale to the public. To celebrate the product’s launch, DIYBride readers are being offered a generous 15% discount! Please use discount code DIYBRIDE.

Hey DIYers,
DIY Bride is growing my leaps and bounds this year and I need your help! I’m looking for a couple of swell new interns to assist with the everyday operations of the diybride.com site. There are two internship positions up for grabs: community crusader and editorial coordinator.
Both positions are unpaid BUT there is an opportunity to earn commissions on any advertising you bring to DIYBride.com. You’ll also be getting hands-on experience in the behind-the-scenes operations of a thriving online community and blog, mentoring in the weddings and crafts industries, and a chance to develop your writing, internet, and marketing skills.
I ask that interns make a commitment of 5 hours per week for a duration of 6 months.
About The Community Crusader
This internship puts you directly in contact with the DIY Bride forum members. As the Community Crusader you’re the spot person for moderating posts, helping members with basic wedding and forum queries, and engaging the members in conversation through posting fun and helpful topics.
The ideal candidate will have:
About The Editorial Coordinator

It’s time to get those fingers inky! Join DIY Bride as we take you, step-by-step, through the basics of screen printing (also known as silk screening).
This printing technique is perfect for all sorts of surfaces such as paper, fabric, glass, wood, and even metal. With so many possibilities it’s a great skill to learn for making nifty wedding items. Think invitations, t-shirts, aisle runners, bridesmaid bags… or get ultra creative and come up with your own implementation.
What You’ll Learn:
Each video lesson is divided into short, doable tasks that will have you up and running with screen printing in no time. Because this is a self-paced workshop, you can stop, rewind, and restart the videos as many times as needed.
IMPORTANT: This workshop requires that users have some basic supplies to complete the course. A supply list will be posted when registration opens on April 16, 2009.
Registration Info: Registration will open on 04/16/09. Please check this post on that date for registration details and forms.
