Friends with benefits

I gotta give this kid some major props, he is so talented! Chances are you know someone with some mad skillz also. Don't be afraid to ask your friends to perform! They are gonna be flattered that you asked, and would probably love to perform for you. Personal performances make weddings just that- PERSONAL.

And if any of you know young Igor here, please let me know, because I want to see his adorable face live. I'm forreal.

A great idea

Leave it to The Broke-Ass Bride to come up with the freshest idea in a long time, Bride Share . Basically, you sign up with a profile and you can team up with other brides (and grooms) to share wedding decor/ideas with one another. You can split all the decor or buy used/recycle wedding stuff. Pretty neat, huh?

For Michael

What a sad day it is today. Michael was such a huge icon, the thought of him passing never even crossed my mind. I am in shock.

I grew up on him. I remember slidin around on the floor in socks as a kid to his music tryna to moon walk.

He will be missed.

Sweet Cake

See? Cake toppers don't have to be complicated, expensive, or bootleg bedazzled. Sometimes bootleg is better.

And by the way, doesn't this cake look so much better than one covered in fondant? I'd rather eat this homemade goodness.

RED DOLL

Good Laud, what cute lil dresses. They are all made by Tatyana Merenyuk who is incredibly talented. Get em while they're hot.

DIY: Updo with short hair

Do you guys remember this gorgeous updo? Well since braids are timeless, it would look be so sweet as a wedding style. Johnny Lavoy got a real easy tutorial below.

Wedding Planning Stress

You know you need to take a break from wedding planning and actually make yourself a meal when your fridge looks like this. Don't let this happen to you. Probably the best advice I've heard about how to deal with pre-wedding stress is to slow down, sit down, and make a nice, healthy dinner with your baby.
