What:<\/strong> Brooklyn Pop-up Wedding Series<\/p>\n

Where:<\/strong> 303 Grand, Williamsburg<\/p>\n

When: <\/strong>The month of June<\/p>\n

Why:<\/strong> Something just didn\u2019t seem right when Ruth Heronemus made a visit to the courthouse and saw a number of couples in line waiting to get married. There just had to be a better way for penny-pinched people to tie the knot. The Street Attack marketer had a light bulb moment for the next revolving storefront<\/a> at 303 Grand. Four months of planning by the Boston-based alternative marketing agency culminated in the debut of this month\u2019s pop-up wedding series, courtesy of The Wedding Library and Martha Stewart Weddings<\/em>.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Each week, The Wedding Library and local Brooklyn artisans cater to a different experience of wedding planning. The four-week itinerary culminates with weddings for up to ten couples at a small planning price of $500 including ceremony, champagne and cake! One lucky couple will win a free wedding package that includes all the necessary services and a Sandals Resort vacation worth over $20,000. The pop-up peddles merchandise from Etsy, while The Wedding Library has brought in off Manhattan event branders Ice Cream Social, stationer Dabney Lee, eco-custom calligraphy alternatives by Paperfinger, and a variety of custom goods by Bestow.<\/p>\n

Since there\u2019s nothing more stressful than arranging every little detail of one of the most important days of your life\u2014and probably without the groom\u2019s help\u2014this weekend\u2019s event is a great start for inspiring brides-to-be on the art and style of weddings. Courtesy of The Wedding Library, today through Sunday, a wedding photography exhibit will be on display from 1-8 p.m. Feel free to linger a little later on Saturday for a party with Brooklyn Bride featuring Flashdance. And Brooklyn bride blogger, Van\u00e9 Broussard, will guest blog about events on Martha Stewart Weddings<\/em> blog The Brides Guides, throughout the series.<\/p>\n

After you\u2019ve partied and released some initial tension it\u2019s time to get serious and think about the dress. Week three is all about the look of the bride and her coveted maids. From June 18th to the 21st, a showcase and retail shop featuring dresses \u2014custom and unconventional\u2014will be on hand. Because a look isn\u2019t complete with accessories, vendors selling jewels, lingerie, and hair and makeup products will be available too. Be sure and block your calendar from 1-4p.m. on the 21st for free manicures by Dashing Diva.<\/p>\n

Finally, week four will be the event ten chosen couples have waited for as Martha Stewart Weddings <\/em>transforms the 303 Grand into a pop-up wedding chapel just for them. Goodbye courthouse, hello sweet memories.<\/p>\n

How to get there:<\/strong> Take the L train to Lorimer. Exit on Union & Metropolitan end. Walk four blocks West on Metropolitan to Havermeyer. Left on Havermeyer and down two blocks to Grand. Right on Grand and its just off the corner. For more details on upcoming events, visit 303 Grand<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n
