Speaker Spotlight: Holly {504 Main}

California girl, author, fashion designer, DIYer, crafter, wedding expert, mocha lover, and "Mama." Holly likes to {make a mess and} let the creative juices flow...and with any luck it all works out. She grew up in a family with a “do-it-yourself” philosophy, so naturally she has made designing, crafting, and DIYing an integral part of her life. From glitter to plate joining biscuits to a jig saw – she loves it all and embrace using materials in new and sometimes unusual ways to create a style that is clever, unique, and totally fun!

In a life a long, long time ago, Holly was a fashion designer. She graduated from the Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising in Los Angeles (long before Lauren Conrad was a "student" there). She did her time in the trenches and worked as everything from a Design Assistant to a Patternmaker to a Textile/Print Designer to Designer. Loved it...Hated it...Was harassed by bosses...made some great friends...and learned invaluable life lessons.

All of her girlfriends started getting married and the wedding bug totally bit her...so she went on to conquer the wedding biz! She planned over 150 weddings with budgets ranging from $10,000 to $200,000. She was the Co-Director of the Association of Bridal Consultants, Greater Los Angeles for 2 years.

She throws a super fun link up party every Friday, Tickled Pink.
I'm freaking out over this post...Holly just got back from a trip to NYC to meet Sandra Lee!
