Announcing Bride$hare: Where Sharing and Saving Make a Perfect Marriage
I’m thrilled to finally announce the launch of my newest endeavor, Bride$hare! Some of you old foagie readers might remember that last year, I was approached by a bride who loved our color scheme and design ideas so much that she offered to split the costs of and share many decor items for our weddings. That spawned the great idea of Bride$hare – a social networking community where brides can find each other and save more green while being green!
After actually living the process, and reaping the benefits, I am so excited to share this with the bridal world. I’m really proud of how far it has come, considering the lack of technical prowess that I possess! My amazing brother Michael helped me put it together, and was endlessly patient as I changed and rechanged my mind about every little detail. But together, we were able to develop a site that allows brides to team up and have more for less, while being environmentally-friendly through the use of recycling and sharing!
Are you dying for Chivari chairs? Craving manzanita centerpieces? Looking for your dream shoes? Vying for a DIY photobooth? Loving lanterns? These are just a few items that you can share the cost of with fellow brides, with a few simple clicks of the mouse!
With options to search by color scheme, theme, city and venue, you can search for brides with similar taste and style to yours – making finding your perfect Bride$hare buddy a cinch! You can also buy/sell/share on the classifieds, join groups, chat on the boards, customize your profile and more. The possibilites to save are limitless.
I really hope you enjoy the site – if I can help other brides save as much as I did, using simple teamwork and creativity, then my mission is accomplished!
Psssst – tell your friends!

Hello there! I just discovered your site today and I think I might be in love. I am in the throws of planning my April wedding and I am constantly shocked/disgusted/appalled at the prices of, well – EVERYTHING. Sometimes I want to stand in the street and yell at the top of my lungs, "I'M SICK OF YOU PEOPLE RIPPING ME OFF AND I'M NOT GOING TO TAKE IT ANYMORE!!!!" I am so excited to start really exploring your blog. Thanks so much!!!

Thanks for setting this up! Before I found your blog I was thinking about sharing costs, but didn't know how to find a Bride who would be using the same venue. This is awesome!
this is an amazing idea! I wish I had had this when I first got married! Maybe for wedding #2

I think the Brideshare idea is effing brilliant! It's just the kind of networked community effort we need more of to reduce our carbon footprint and cut back on consumption while continuing to live large. Congratulations.
Good luck with your new venture…you are quite the innovator!
INGENIOUS!!!
CONGRATS! on being Googles 'Blog of Note'
Found you on blogs of note. Valuable content and excellent writing. I sent my fiance here as well.
Wow what a fabulous idea! You are a genius! Hopefully people like you will eventually make it so the inflated wedding related products industry have to bring down their crazy prices a notch! Hopeful thinking I know…;)
Really enjoyed your article Thanks
This is a terrific idea, and I especially love the concept of saving money while being environmentally friendly. Hopefully this will give many people a chance to have their perfect idea of a wedding : ] I hope you follow through with this idea and others find time to promote and use it themselves.

Fantastic idea!! I'm sharing your site on my "recessionista" blog http://www.magicnutshell.blogspot.com and telling my engaged friend about it. I also had a super-low-budget wedding, and I wish I'd had a resource like this. Beautiful pictures, too!
Great idea! Where were you when I got married??
hj…can i become your friend???i am from Vietnam.i'm 16 years old.i speak English not well so…
Yeah, I remember that … seems like a good match
I think it's a great idea. You have a terrific blog. Although, I am happily married to a terrific guy for almost 3 1/2 years now (2nd marriage)I will gladly recommend your site. Hopefully, my daughter will be next. She's currently dating a terrific guy and they make a great couple. I'll be following you and I hope you will do the same for me. Keep up the good work.
Truly awesome- visit my blog- I would love to get a comment back
I just signed up for Brideshare and started the Chicago Wedding group. Expecting a lot of ladies in this group and thank you so much for starting this site! We're getting married on a Saturday and I always read about Friday/Saturday weddings pairin' up on decorations and stuff, so hopefully we will get lucky.
If you know anyone looking to plan in Chicago, please let them know about my website, http://www.awesomemidwestwedding.blogspot.com. I researched a hundred different venues and posted the list online so people at least know what's out there.
Thanks so much BAB!
Awesome idea!!! Im so exited!!!
Fantasic idea. I could use those services myself. Australia may just be a little far to travel or ship items however.
@gauchegirl: We have members across the globe! Join up and start an AU group – then tell your friends
um… it's a fantastic idea but when I hit the link nothing but the title of the wesbite comes up.
help?
Отличный сайт! Если необходимо убить пару-тройку часиков – вам сюда
