About me:
Aloha!
My name is Khris and I’m a crafter, wedding guru, author, small business owner, and all-around swell gal based in the Silicon Valley.
I’m deeply involved in the wedding and crafting industries. For the past several years, I’ve been operating DIY Bride, a free online wedding resource for do-it-yourself couples. My first DIY wedding crafts book, The DIY Bride: 40 Fun Projects for Your Ultimate One-of-a-Kind Wedding, is being released in January 2008 through The Taunton Press. I look forward to writing more craft and wedding books. And maybe a cookbook in there somewhere. I love what I do and am grateful to have these awesome opportunities.
My personal philopophy about weddings is this: you can have an amazing wedding on any budget. It takes some time to plan, a willingness to do some research, and lots of help. But it can be done and done well!
I think DIY weddings have gotten a bad rap as being kinda tacky, doe-eyed-child-tchotchke-laden (you know which ones I'm talking about!) affairs. I'm evangelical about changing that image. My mission is to show you how elegant, whimsical, chic, modern, gorgeous, and fun a DIY wedding can be.
I strongly support the DIY and craft communities, small business, organic/green/socially responsible business, and ethical wedding businesses.
