Welcome to Bklynbride Online!

Surprise! After months and months of work, Bklynbrideonline.com is finally up and running, and I can’t wait for you to explore! Let me walk you through some of the new features….

First up and most obvious, the facelift. I felt like the blog was getting a little clogged with links, so with the help of my designers, Lucia and Henny of d*lsh, we cleaned up the front page so that its easier to navigate.

The Vendors have their own page now, with bios, graphics and contact information so its nicer to look at and gives each vendor the attention they deserve. They are all incredibly talented and most importantly, fit within the modern aesthetic that I hope Brooklyn Bride embodies. A great part of the new page is that you can leave a comment for any of the vendors – if you’ve worked with someone and love their work, leave them a testimonial!

Deals and Events also have their own page, so if you’re ever looking for something going on, check there for the latest. There are lots of fun things happening this month in the world of bridal, so definitely check it out.

If you need to contact me with a real wedding or questions, I can still be reached at brooklynbride [at] gmail.com, or you can go to Contact Me and fill out the form.

At the About page, you can find links to my Facebook, Twitter, and Bklynpillow sites.

I’m so excited [and exhausted!] and hope you are too! Take a few minutes to look around and let me know what you think…the old site will eventually be taken down since all the posts have been transferred over here, so please change your bookmarks.

Special thanks to Betsy Dunlap for doing some text for my new header, and definitely thanks to Lucia and Henny of d*lsh for putting together a beautiful site!

Welcome back!

Hey everyone! Welcome to 2009! I’m so excited to be back blogging…hopefully the holidays have been as relaxing to you as they were to me… We started off our Christmas down in Louisiana with Chad’s family, then headed back for a week of quasi-relaxation….I spent most of my days in front of the laptop getting some exciting stuff together for Brooklyn Bride, but worked in some time with friends too.

So, to start this week off, lots of fun things that got started in 2008, but have flourished in 2009… stay tuned.

Happy Holidays

I wish I could send all of you a personal card right to your doorstep, but hopefully this will do! Here are some of the amazing cards I received for the Holiday Card Swap…I couldn’t believe how fun they were! Some of you even went above and beyond and sent presents and delicious treats! Next year we might have to up the anty and do a recipe swap or ornament swap….:)

I’ll be taking a little blog break to work on some fun things I have in store for January, so until then….see you in 2009! Have a wonderful holiday!
