It's been 11 years since I launched DIY Bride and, honestly, the only time off I've taken has been for family emergencies or illness. So, I'm taking a much-needed break, some time to recharge and spend time with my family and friends. During the period of June 27 to September 01, DIY Bride will go offline so that our staff of two can have a worry-free sabbatical. When we return in September, we will have a brand new site with an abudance of new features like city guides, a venue finder, and a revamped how-to section. Exciting times are ahead, y'all! We wish you a great summer and look forward to seeing you in a few weeks.
