First and foremost – Help Me Help Dana! Dana, The Broke Ass Bride herself, is holding an awesome online fundraiser to raise funds for her upcoming surgeries, and for the American Autoimmune Related Disease Association. Find out more at Dishing For Dana. Anyone who donates gets a $100 discount on any of my wedding services, all you have to do is forward your paypal confirmation email to me.

Cool Wedding Thing of the Week – A wedding bouquet of succulents, featured on Got Married. Mmm, lush…plus, after your wedding you can stick them in a planter and they’ll last forever, right?
