“There is a wedding planner out there for almost every wedding.” –Leah

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.

Leah is the attorney-turned-event planner behind Color Pop Events, a New York City-based full-service event planning company specializing in vibrant, charming, and bold events.

The first time I saw photos from Leah’s wedding, I knew I needed to not only invite her on the show, but also force her into a friendship. Leah, we must, must, MUST be friends, Lady.

Okay, okay. Back to the show…
