Hi, I'm Barb - and I know exactly how overwhelming wedding planning can feel.

​

In 2021, I planned my own non-traditional backyard wedding. My husband's best friend got ordained to marry us (it started as a joke, but became beautifully real). I spent months searching for ceremony wording that felt authentic to us, organizing budgets in spreadsheets, and figuring out details that traditional wedding guides just didn't cover.

​

I learned the hard way that planning a meaningful, personalized celebration - especially when you're doing things your own way - is harder than it should be.

​

That's why I created Elegant Bride Co.

​

I built the tools I wish I'd had: a comprehensive wedding planner app, a library of ceremony wording you can actually customize, and resources that support non-traditional brides who want beautiful celebrations on their own terms.

​

If you're an independent-minded woman planning a wedding that reflects who you really are - not what tradition says it should be - you're in the right place.

​

Welcome. I'm so glad you're here!
