It’s all about ME!
Who wants to meet me? Like, in person, and stuff? Well, if you’re in SoCal… I’ve got 2 great ways to get closer to my broke-ass lovin’ coming right up!

Come see me speak about getting the most bang for your buck while planning your wedding, at the Wedding Salon Bootcamp on March 1st, at Hansen’s Cakes in Los Angeles! There’s a ton of great resources and goodies available, thanks to all those folks listed on the invite above, and more! But the best part is…. with discount code BABC, your 2 tickets are FREE!
Can’t make it on the 1st, or live too far in the OC to make the trip? Fear not… ‘cuz just one short week later, I’ll be tearing up The Wedding Pantry with some bad-ass DIY brilliance… in Bringing the Broke-Ass: Favors with Flava!
What’s better than saving some money and getting your craft on with me? Well, considering that I’m about as crafty as a one-handed monkey… it should be pretty darn entertaining. But, I have picked a few “idiot-proof” projects (by necessity, natch) and I just know you (and your guests) are going to love them… whether you use them for wedding or shower favors, bridesmaid gifts, or just broke-ass birthday prezzies for your friends. Hey, why not? Who says you have to be getting married to get your tasty craft on? Pas moi, yo! Register here.
Seriously, if you’re in the area for either event… please come say hi! I’ll surely be to be hellza nervous. I also can’t guarantee I won’t have a drink beforehand, so I’ll definitely be extra-friendly. I mean, let’s be real. Come meeeeeeet meeeeeeeeee!
Oh, and one more shameless plug while I have you here. Last week, I was named one of the Top Ten Social Media Influencers in the Wedding Industry by WedBiz Journal. Seated alongside major monoliths of wedding idolotry… here I am picking the spinach from between my teeth in complete, grateful, awe.

I mean, what?!? Me? Who started this blog in a sheer fit of frustration and desperation, gumption and moxie, as a real bride… just like you? I am simply amazed.
Thanks to all of you who follow my journey and keep me company each day on twitter and facebook – your support is what keeps me motivated to keep growing and improving and evolving, and I am so grateful to all my friends (old and new, and not yet met) in this crazy business! And if you’re not already following my twitter or liking us on facebook, isn’t today a good day to start?
Hope to see some of you at those events, yo!



































Congrats Dana! It must feel good to be ranked up with big boys like The Knot and Style Me Pretty.
Wish I lived in Cali! I would totally be at one of your events.
Congrats! Sounds like fun, wish we were in CA!
Well, I AM in L.A., so I I will see you there!
