Adios Twenty-then! Hello, Two-Thousand & Heaven!
We had an incredible year in 2010…. we’re so proud of all we accomplished! Pardon us for tooting our own horn, but its important for everyone to celebrate their accomplishments! Here are some highlights of our past year here at Broke-Ass HQ….
♥ We launched our exclusive Broke-Ass Cake Collection in partnership with celebrity cake designers Fantasy Frostings, and had a huge Cake Bash to kick it off. (In LA? Need a cake? Hit us up!) Look out for coverage of the Cake Bash in the Spring issue of The Bride & Bloom Magazine’s new SoCal edition!
♥ We won the Best Budget Blog Award in Wedding Channel’s Bridal Blog Awards, were named one of Weddzilla’s top 25 wedding blogs in their 2010 Guru Awards, and were included in BrideTide’s Top 100 Wedding Blogs list.
♥ Our site and writing were featured in eight bridal magazines, including our feature as Brides Magazine’s first-ever Blog Star in their December issue.
♥ We launched the Broke-Ass Bargain Bash, bringing our favorite products to brides everywhere, at 40-90% off regular prices.
♥ We brought on seven amazing contributing writers to provide a diversity of voices and interests, from industry insiders to real brides and everything in between.
♥ We launched our weekly Broke-Ass Brigade Newsletter, landing great inspiration, deals, freebies and giveaways directly in our readers inboxes.
♥ We incorporated our business, developed a mission, and became full-time legitimate bloggers. We attended several inspiring and educational workshops and conferences, partied at some amazing industry events, and got up close and personal with many of our industry heroes.
♥ We taught our first Blogging, Branding & Balance workshop, and spoke about green weddings at Backstage Bridal.
♥ Our traffic keeps growing and growing, we reached over 10,500 twitter followers and over 3,000 facebook fans. Our readers are some of the most loyal and bad-ass brides (and beyond) out there. We are so, so grateful to each and every one of you who come by and share in our community day after day. Without you, we’d be nothing!
We have tons of exciting goals in store for 2011… its going to be a RAD year!

Wow, CONGRATS on all those awesome accomplishments! But I'm not surprised, you guys rule! Thanks for being one of my favorite blogs… you've helped me so much in my planning I don't know what I'd do without you!
My goal this year is to NOT go into debt when we walk the aisle. Wish me luck!
GO, BAB…. GO! *high fives*
