The Broke-Ass Bride

Champagne Promises…. and Broke-Ass Dreams.

If you’ve been reading here for a while then you know that we are constantly trying to get in shape, create a healthy diet, and generally do things that make us feel like the bad-asses we strive to be. If only it was as easy to give our bodies a makeover as it was to give our blog one!

Our blog header recently went from a big headed Broke-Ass graphic to what our youngest twitter follower calls “Princess!” (She’s two, but we’ll take it), and it is all thanks to our new sponsor, Astrid of Champagne Promises LLC.

The moment we saw Astrid’s amazing work, BAB and I looked at each other and said, “I want to go to there.”

From this…To this…
To TaDazzle!

Until recently, Astrid was based out of Switzerland, running the incredibly successful (and awesomely named) Potato Mamma Design. Her work has been featured in countless magazines and campaigns from Marie Claire to Diesel. Lucky for all of us, Astrid has fallen in love with the U.S. and with wedding design. Now the mind that designed for The Knot (click here to play with a dress up widget she designed for The Knot) can create your own custom invitations!

We were really picky when searching for someone to redesign our blog, but Champagne Promises was right up our ally. All of Astrid’s designs are fresh to death but also incorporate that timeless element of class from the fifties and sixties. You know that, “How can they be so smooth and sexy? I need to buy myself a martini set” kind of classic cool. MadMen much?

But invitation design is just the beginning. Why not make this custom design the custom branding of your wedding. The same uniquely you image from your invites can be used for save the date magnets, bachelorette coasters, heck even the big day’s cake topper.

Our makeover wasn’t easy just because Astrid is so talented, she is also a delight to work with. She is incredibly thoughtful, even when it comes to her price points. If a fully custom design isn’t in your budget, Champagne Promises has multiple options to choose, including “ready to order” designs that can be tailored as much or as little as you like. It can truly be a Champagne design on a beer budget! The possibilities are as large as your imagination, or larger because Astrid will take your idea and run with it. But when your 3^rd cousin asks, “Who thought of these AMAZING invites?” you can just say, “We did.”
