What happens when you combine dinosaurs, The Fernbank Museum of Natural History, purple hair and matching heels, Lego cake toppers, and lots and lots of sprinkles?

You get Leah Weinberg’s fab wedding. It’s one of my favorites.

Want to be a rebellious bride?

Umm … duh.

Well, the secret to true rebellion is simple: trust yourself.

And trust the universe while you’re at it. Because if you can cultivate your confidence and choose ease over exasperation, you’ll be a much happier and far less harried bride.

Aja Davis and Molly Ola Pinney, partners in life and business, have done just that. They are deliberately planning their wedding with minimal stress.

5 reasons why I invested in Catalyst Wedding Co's campaign...

1) Brides NEED alternative magazine options on the market. Have you seen what's out there? Lame-o.

2) Brides NEED a progressive magazine that explores the redefinition of traditions.

3) Brides NEED a progressive magazine that features love stories of couples who care more about having a fabulous partnership than having a fabulous wedding. Amen to that.

4) Brides NEED a progressive magazine that discusses the intersection of feminism in the wedding sphere. Feminism isn't black and white.

5) Brides NEED a progressive magazine that highlights unique women-owned businesses that enhance a couple's wedding experience.

The launch of this magazine will not happen without us.

“A rebellious bride is a bride that has a damn good time at her wedding.” -Kara Martin Snyder

If you want to be a rebellious bride, the first thing you need to do is take care of yourself. Your sass won’t shine if your brain and body are fried and your t**h is parked on the couch for days and days. Right?
