My maximal and colorful wedding

10 years together, 3 years engaged, and 2 weddings later! We are finally officially married and it feels so good. One of the top comments about our wedding has been “Didn’t I see you get married on Trixie Motel?”, Yes for those wondering we had our TV Trixie Motel wedding and we loved it. But because of Covid we couldn’t have any family or friends there, so the plan was always to do an actual big wedding after :) We feel so lucky we got two weddings and both were so special and meaningful. Hopefully this is the last one though! But honestly I’m so down to do another wedding LOL.

With our first wedding venue being pretty hard to beat, the gorgeous motel we designed on TV, we knew we had to find a place that felt just as special. The Madonna Inn is not only an iconic kitschy maximalist paradise, but also served as some of our inspiration behind Trixie Motel. After taking a trip there last fall and trying the famous pink champagne cake, we knew it would be the perfect place! Plus an area driving distance from LA where most of our guests live that we can also all stay at and make a whole weekend of it. 

More than anything we wanted our wedding to feel like us. I’m not a big fan of anything traditional or expected and we wanted our wedding to reflect that. Naturally I had to design my own dress, from the print to the silhouette! I had never done such a dressy design with such delicate fabrics and I’m so happy with how it turned out. I originally was going for more of a fuchsia with the color but because of the printing process and darker lining it gave more of a Viva Magenta vibe, the PANTONE of the year! Which I honestly loved as a long time designer and total PANTONE girly. But I brought back the pink with bold accessories including an underskirt I hand dyed, a gorgeous veil made by one of my bridesmaids Serena, and dramatic gloves. Watch the full design process HERE. Phillip also got to design his custom suit! Grooms often don’t get to shine as much on their wedding day and we wanted to make sure he had something special too. We brought the floral motif and colors of my dress print into the embroidery. It really turned out to be such a pretty pairing! 

The room I wanted to stay in “The Love Nest”, was booked our entire wedding weekend so we booked it the Thursday before the wedding and decided to do all our bride and groom photos the Friday before the wedding. My sister is a wedding photographer and I shot her wedding years ago so we had always planned on doing a photo trade :) So she was there early with my family and so down to get the photos done before the wedding. The last thing we wanted to do was add stress the day of and I can’t tell you what a relief it was to know we already had epic photos I loved finished. Phillip and I got fully wedding day ready together (because why not?!) and shot some amazing photos in the Love Nest and around the Madonna Inn. The backdrop options are truly endless! I also love the sweet photos of us getting ready together, so special.  

Budget 

Some of the important factors I was looking for in our wedding was for it to be easy for me to plan since my schedule is so busy and also to keep on a fairly tight budget (for a wedding that is lol). Your wedding needs and wants are a super personal choice, and for us we couldn’t rationalize spending so much of our hard earned money on a single day. I’ve always been very savings oriented and am extremely careful and thoughtful on how I spend money. Our goal was to keep the wedding under 20k, but did end up getting closer to 30k after some unexpected expenses (ugh) and after we got the bar tab back, whoops lol. But we did extend the festivities from Friday-Sunday with a welcome cocktail hour and then a pool party, so we got a lot more out of it than one day. But if your friends don’t drink as much as ours and you stick to the one day, the cost of the venue and catering were around 10k for 85 guests including food and setup (not drink). Honestly a great deal for an incredible venue and the Madonna team handles so much for you. With the Madonna Inn backdrop we knew the aesthetic was already going to be our maximal and colorful style so I wasn’t too worried about decor. The stage and spiral staircase for the ceremony were already such a vibe, and I was able to link up with the Madonna Inn decor and social media gal (shout out to Amanda!) to help with the backdrop using a heart arch a previous guest left and some of their seasonal faux florals. I also used extra fabric from my wedding dress design to drape down the stairs! For florals we ordered 4 flower boxes from Farm Girl Flowers delivered right to the hotel. I was getting 5-figure quotes for what I originally was looking for and as much as I wanted that, we decided budget wise the way that made the most sense for us was to do it ourselves! The 4 flower boxes are less than 1k and was plenty of florals for 12 table toppers, my bouquet, and a ton of flowers in bud vases around the venue and incorporated into other areas. My mom, aunt, sister, bestie, and I made the arrangements in our hotel room the day before and it ended up being so fun and I love how they turned out. Then I got some eclectic table accessories from Minted and Amazon along with some gorgeous mix and match runners from Sweetgrass Home. Luckily Madonna Inn already sets up all the tables with pink table cloths and their signature colorful goblets, so we were able to just easily put our decor on top. The garden room matched the flowers and decor items so well it felt seamless! I even saved on doing hair and makeup by learning and doing it myself. Not only did I love the final look, but I got to learn so much about hair and makeup along the way prepping before the wedding. I feel like we were able to accomplish an aesthetic wedding I’m so proud of and also on a budget!

And the most important part of the whole thing? We wanted to have FUN with our friends! It was a whole 3 day party with all our closest people. We ditched every tradition we didn’t like and kept all the ones we wanted. We only invited immediate family and close friends we see on a regular basis because we wanted the wedding to be about us having the best time possible, not saying hi to people we don’t know very well for hours haha. Our wedding weekend was everything we wanted and nothing we didn’t. And I hope all couples have the freedom to have their perfect wedding too, whatever that looks like!

Also special shout out to our amazing wedding videographer Griffin Dunn and live painter Isabel Emrich! Both of them reached out to me on socials and wanted to gift us their incredible talents on their wedding day :)

NEW SUMMER 2023 COLLECTION - MIX & MAX

Dazey is all about living the maximal lifestyle, and the Mix and Max collection is the epitome of that. Carefully created for ultimate versatility, everything is reversible, granting you two bold looks in one effortless switch. The dual prints are designed to mix and match with themselves. Whether you want to coordinate or power clash, we’ve got you. So many looks, one single garment. Celebrate the beauty of prints while championing sustainable fashion. Make a statement or two with our one-of-a-kind collection today!

This collection was created primarily out of a super fun new fabric we are loving for both summer and the reversible pieces. It's a non-wrinkle soft and lightweight linen feel poly fabric ensuring all day comfort. Designing silhouettes that worked for the reversible concept wasn't easy and took us extra time and effort, but boy did it pay off! They work so well with sewn down edges preventing any flipping, reversible zippers, and even reversible Dazey hang tags. Lovingly hand drawn designs by moi, Dani Dazey, printed and fully made in LA as always. This collection had to be very parred down with a smaller budget than usual, so I wanted to make the most of it and still use as many prints as possible. Our offerings and skus are much smaller, but each piece packs a bold-as-ever 2-print punch! Quantities are also extremely limited with only a few pieces per size, so don't wait long to order.

Feeling sentimental thinking this could be our last Dazey lookbook. It’s been a rough year for small businesses. As much as I love designing clothing and prints, I have to prioritize giving my energy to the things that give me the same energy back…like particularly in the form of compensation. And that's been pulling me more and more into the home design and decor world, something I do love equally and get to use my print design skills for too (yay). Took me awhile to accept that as y’all know I love my clothing line and owe so much of my success and design knowledge to Dazey. We had some incredible years and even breached seven figure revenues a few times. But life and design is all about being flexible and reinventing yourself when it’s time. So for now Dazey had kinda morphed from being my whole world into my side passion project I’m not quite willing to let go of yet. Excited about this reversible idea and who knows maybe it will be a hit and we'll make a major comeback, fingers crossed!

Creating a Colorful Cottage Core Haven for Dylan Mulvaney

Designing a space where miss Dylan Mulvaney can relax and truly be herself was an incredible honor. I met Dylan the night before she started Days of Girlhood and it's been such a wild and exciting journey to see her grow and be adored by millions of people around the world for the sweet, kind, and joyous human she is. It's also come with a lot of harsh criticism from all sides during such a vulnerable time in her life. I really wanted her home to be a safe space that celebrates the amazing person she is. Collaborating with friends and clients like Dylan to create beautiful, colorful spaces bring me so much happiness. I always try to capture my client's essence in the design. My goal was to transform Dylan's vision into a whimsical cottage core retreat that truly reflects her unique personality.

Designing with Dylan:
Dylan had a clear vision in mind—a "Miss Honey House" inspired by the enchanting cottage core aesthetic. We worked closely together, and she even curated a playlist that set the tone for the project. A first for me, but it really inspired me while I designed the space.

Dylan wanted a serene and calming space, which was a departure from my usual vibrant style. She even used the word "granny" often when describing the ideal feel haha. She also wanted a space that was easy to convert back when she was done since the home is a rental. Which meant not as much paint or renovations as I normally go. Embracing the challenge, we struck a balance with subtle touches of color and a light, airy feel throughout. Infusing the cottage core charm into every detail, we created a dreamy atmosphere with soft pastel hues, floral patterns, vintage-inspired furniture, and whimsical decor. I feel like the color compromise paid off in creating a tranquil environment and allows for easy conversion when Dylan decides to move.

Designing a bathroom and kitchen in a rental is never easy because you’re kinda stuck with what you’ve got surface.cabinet wise. But I was determined to give Dylan the Eloise at The Plaza bathroom of her dreams and create a cute retro inspired kitchen! I found these peel and stick tiles and WOW did they work wonders (linked at bottom of post). I love that it also incorporates the grey that we had to keep in other parts of the bathroom and really made it all work together. For the kitchen this peel and stick wallpaper was a game changer. We were also able to create a kitchen nook using these cool modular booth pieces I found (linked at bottom). Which is great because we ended up making her dining room into an office so she can have a dedicated guest/storage room.

Designing for Dylan Mulvaney was a super special experience. We created a colorful cottage core haven where she can truly be herself. Overcoming rental limitations and embracing a serene aesthetic, we captured Dylan's essence. I'm immensely proud of the final result and grateful for the opportunity to work with such a delightful client. Cheers to the beautiful spaces we create together!

 OUR FIRST FURNITURE COLLECTION

Our first printed furniture collaboration with Joybird is designed to empower everyone to live their most maximal life. As a print, fashion, and interior designer, this is truly my dream collaboration. The common thread in all my design work is being bold and embracing color and pattern. I’m a true maximalist at heart and believe deeply in self expression in all parts of your life, from the home to what you wear. My work is heavily influenced by vintage design, and punchy prints on furniture are overdue for a comeback! Joybird is the perfect partner for this, being a brand that also embraces color and retro silhouettes. I’ve spent most of my career designing prints and clothing, and translating that onto furniture for the first time has been the coolest experience. I really hope this collection brings joy to people and empowers them to choose daring designs in their everyday life!

Xx - Dani Dazey

Background on the collaboration - When values and design sensibility collide

With their shared vision of empowering people to be boldly original, and bringing unique aesthetics to life, Joybird x Dani Dazey is the ultimate dream come true collaboration. Joybird’s commitment to color and customization, with over 90 fabrics and leathers to choose from, made them a go-to for Dani when designing interiors for her own spaces, as well as her clients. Similar to Dani and her brands, Joybird is committed to bold style with a conscience, prioritizing sustainability, craftsmanship, and customization. The Joybird x Dani Dazey collaboration is on a mission to empower people to be daringly original, and to design their world more fearlessly.

Quote from Gifty Walker, Joybird's Director of Merchandising & Product Sourcing 

“Retro with a fresh, modern twist - that’s what comes to mind when I think of the Joybird x Dani Dazey collaboration. One of the Joybird mantras from the very beginning has been ‘be boldly you’, and Dani Dazey’s design couldn’t embody that more! The entire merchandising team was so excited to begin this journey, providing customers with pieces that were both boldly original and timeless classics. 

Dani presented us with a few patterns, and it was almost impossible to narrow them down to just two, since they were all so good! Once we started putting them onto fabric swatches that’s where the magic really began. It was amazing to see the prints come to life on furniture. When I look at the finished product, I feel inspired to take more design risks, and empowered to bring more fun into my space. I’m hoping customers share those feelings as they welcome this collaboration into their homes.”

Renovating a Vintage-Inspired Bathroom in my LA home and Going Viral on TikTok

As a lover of vintage charm and quirky aesthetics, I knew I had to renovate my plain and boring bathroom in my LA home! 

As a homeowner or while home hunting in Los Angeles, it's not uncommon to come across plain, uninspired bathrooms that seem to be a dime a dozen. Subway tile walls, honeycomb tile floors, and all-silver hardware have become the norm in modern flips, and that's exactly what had been put into our 1920's home. There's something special about a vintage-inspired bathroom that brings back the charm and whimsy. So, I decided to take matters into my own hands and add back some character to the space!


First things first, I decided to switch out the old subway tiles for square tiles in a pink and creme checker pattern from Fire Clay Tile. This popular vintage style shape and color was a playful touch that made the bathroom stand out. I've grown to hate basic white subway tile in homes, so this made all the difference for me!

To further enhance the vintage-inspired vibe of the space I added arched niches to the wall. This was surprisingly easy to do when switching out the tile! It added depth and visual interest to the bathroom, giving it an elegant and unique feel that lends itself to the 1920's Spanish style architecture of our home. Now, I can display fun things like my intentionally matching soaps/shampoos or other decorative items in these niches and it looks so cute!

Next, I replaced the old bathtub with something cute and curvy from Signature Hardware that you can actually take a bath in. We also removed a wall next to the previous tub that opened up a ton of space in the bathroom too. Game changer!

To add even more character to the bathroom, I mixed prints and paired the checker tile with a bold and colorful 70's scalloped wallpaper. The playful wallpaper had a dash of pink that tied everything together.

And the final touch was adding a larger vanity with a stunning pink-rock Terrazzo top from Concrete Collaborative and a pink vessel sink from Concretti. The new vanity was perfect for storing all my bathroom essentials while still looking chic! Pedestal sinks are not it for personal bathrooms when it comes to storage.

The before and after transformation of the bathroom was truly remarkable, and I couldn't be happier with the result. It was so fun to add back all the retro Spanish style feels back into this space and really be able to design my dream bathroom. And speaking of fun, I posted a joke video on TikTok that went semi-viral. The video showed the renovation in reverse, and before people realized it was satire, they got so understandably upset! Clearly, there are a lot of people out there who feel the same way I do about charm being taken out of colorful, quirky bathrooms. But don't worry, I would never actually destroy such a beautiful renovation!

In the end, the renovation was a success, and I couldn't be happier with how the bathroom turned out. It's now a unique and playful space that truly represents my style and personality. Scroll to the bottom for all the links and sources :)

Renovating a Mid-Century Home: Achieving the Perfect Blend of Style and Functionality!

Links to all products used at the bottom of this post!

Mid-century is one of my favorite eras in design. It never goes out of style and always captures our hearts with its timeless charm. So, when it came time to renovate the kitchen in my own mid-century home in Palm Springs (which is also available for rental on Airbnb), I knew I had to approach it with care and respect for the original design.

The original kitchen, designed by the amazing architect William Krisel in 1959, was a true masterpiece of mid-century design. It was untouched and perfectly preserved, complete with vintage cabinets, countertops, and appliances. But, as much as I loved it, it was no longer safe or practical for guests staying in the home. The appliances were just not cutting it anymore, and it was time for a change. The city even turned off the gas line as the oven wasn't up to code!

So, I set out on a mission to renovate the kitchen, blending the original mid-century style with practicality and comfort for guests. I wanted to keep the mid-century vibe alive and well, so I went with the most awesome colorful Smeg appliances that would fit right in! And, to achieve the perfect mix of style and functionality, I turned to Reform CHP for custom cabinetry that was both beautiful and practical. The cabinets were color-blocked in custom warm retro shades and solid wood, and Reform CHP was able to customize any shape to fit the kitchen! The terrazzo counters and patterned backsplash from Concrete Collaborative added the perfect touch of mid-century style, with the abstract print of the backsplash and the terrazzo texture lending themselves perfectly to the aesthetic.

During the kitchen renovation, we also decided to tackle the floors in all the bedrooms. The previous owners had painted the concrete floors a drab grey color, which just wasn't my style as a lover of bold and colorful design. So, I painted them a cheerful orange to match the overall theme of the house. Orange is seriously the most underrated color and adds so much personality to any space!

However, we soon realized that we didn't properly seal the orange paint, and it was a hassle to touch up. So, we decided to give the bedrooms a complete floor makeover to match the living room, kitchen, and bathroom, which were already beautifully tiled with Fireclay tile oblong checkers. Since the house was already going to be under construction, we saw the perfect opportunity to make the bedrooms just as stunning.

I knew I wanted to use the same abstract tile as the backsplash to keep the continuity in the house, and it turned out to be the perfect choice! The abstract tile meshed seamlessly with the existing room designs and looked like it had been there all along. It also complemented the checkered floor in the living room, kitchen, and bathroom perfectly, creating a cohesive look throughout the entire home.

Renovating a mid-century home is all about balancing style and practicality, and I couldn't be happier with the end result! I did receive some backlash from people who were worried about changing the original kitchen, but I hope I did it justice and added even more charm and personality to the space. Whether you're an interior designer or a homeowner, I hope this renovation story inspires you to embrace mid-century design and make it your own!

(Hi Dani here! Omg I just have to tell you I had Chat GPT write this blog based off of some notes I gave it and I am blown away how it perfectly articulated what I wanted to say. The future is wild y'all.)

Fashion for your floors, Dazey LA x Haustile 

 

I could not be more excited to introduce you to my first ever printed tile collection. I’m a major lover of tile and when my friends at Haustile reached out to do a collaboration, I knew it was a match made in maximal heaven! Haustile is fully female-owned and based in Nashville where they make their tile to order using a super cool process of glaze-printing. We flew out a few weeks ago and set up an epic photoshoot with the Haustile team for our collection. Read about how our collaboration came about below and check out the bold and unexpected photos from out shoot. You can shop the full collection now HERE!

Our maximalist love story as told by Haustile:

 

It goes down in the DM’s. Like any modern love story, we stumbled upon maximalist maven Dani Dazey on Instagram this time last year. Fascinated by her use of patterns in interior spaces, we messaged her and began bonding over a mutual love for excessive color. When the Dazey LA founder was cast as the designer for The Trixie Motel, we joined forces to create custom tiles for the lobby, guest rooms, and pool to exemplify Trixie and Dani’s over-the-top style. It was an easy match, and 6 months later we joined forces to bring an official Haustile x Dazey LA collab to the masses!

 

“I get a lot of inquries from design and decor brands, but they really stood out to me with their unique and bold tile. I knew this was something special,” says Dazey. “When I designed the Trixie Motel, I reached out and collaborated with Haustile on a few custom prints and they came out amazing. We knew we had to make something cool together that everyone could enjoy.”

Dani selected the designs and colors to coordinate with the Dazey LA Fall 2022 fashion collection. “I love art and color and I think that really comes across in my designs from fashion, prints, to interiors,” says Dazey. “I design all the prints by hand and really want them to have a bespoke hand-drawn look and feel.” A maximalist in all senses of the word, Dani is using the same motifs for her (soon to launch) furniture collection with JoyBird, her clothing line, and now tile. Pattern everywhere!

 

“Fashion and home have so many overlaps and I’ve discovered my background in art and graphic design has seamlessly lent itself to designing home goods as well,” says Dazey. “I really like to think of my interior or home good design process more like planning and designing a clothing collection.”

 

Dani’s designs evoke messages of resilience, bravery, and self-expression. They're ultra vertical-friendly, and we jumped at the opportunity to make them in an 8”x 8” format—the first of it’s kind from Haustile! The can be installed indoors and outdoors as floor tile, or used as wall tile to create a wallpaper-like effect.

 

Our printing process is what sets us apart, and it’s what allows us to push the boundaries of creativity with artists like Dani. Using state-of-the-art Italian glaze technology, we run tiles through an inkjet the size of the bedroom. The printer, who we lovingly call Sophie, laser-glazes onto the ceramic canvas, transforming Dani’s designs from sketch to tile in just a few hours.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Creating a content house For Lena The Plug

So excited to finally share all the details of this amazing 4 bed 2 living room home with ya'll! As someone who does social media as well as design, I've sort of carved a niche out for myself designing spaces for content creation. My client Lena needed a space where she can create content, but also wanted to be able to rent it out for shoots to others. As an adult entertainer and major OnlyFans star, Lena had a hard time finding places that would let her shoot. So she bought this house literally just for CONTENT! Which is so cool because I was really able to go wild. Since we wanted a variety of "set" backdrops we didn't really have to stick to theme and went a few fun directions.

Lena loves the victorian aesthetic and this is a style I had been dying to do in my maximal colorful style. We went with victorian vibes in the living room, main bedroom, library room, and glam room. The den was so retro already with wood paneling and terrazzo floors, so leaned into that. Keeping in the retro theme, we also gave the kitchen a fun 50s/60s feel. And then we kept one room more minimal but with pops of yellow. There was a lot of rooms to work with and we wanted a more neutral option for photos.

Something that design really did to this space was bring back the character. We swapped ugly "updated" recessed lighting with semi-flush mounts in almost all the rooms and it made a huge difference. In the kitchen I painted little floral murals around the ones we kept and it totally changed the vibe from drab to fab. We also added all sorts of stunning custom trim and wainscoting on both the walls and ceilings. Of course went WILD with wallpaper as always! I have all the products linked at the bottom as well as all the before and after photos. Feel free to save, pin, and share!

SEEK SUNSHINE, FALL/WINTER 2022

Seek Sunshine is a beacon of color and joy in a normally muted and dark season. Dazey is all about shining bright and being bold in a world that likes to blend in with shades of beige. Play up your personality with playful motifs, abstract shapes, and colors as always. The perfect fits designed to fit your maximal lifestyle.

Everything in this collection is a conversation piece, because you’re worth talking about! From new soft velvet-corduroy fabrics to playful silhouettes. Special design details like wavy collars and edges. Even our version of a 3-piece suit. 

The prints are meant to evoke a sunny spring feeling. Leaning into a few classic Dazey favorites like flowers and figured. All hand drawn by Dani Dazey and made in small batches in DTLA. Florals for fall? Actually groundbreaking. 

We produced everything from this collection in extremely small batches, so if you love something, don't wait long!

Our first candle and expansion of our home section

Meet Mimo and Marg. Our first candle collab with @dazey_la x @infavorof. Designed with @danidazey using her original print for package design and unique printed vessel that turns into a cup when your candle is done. Perfect printed aesthetic to match your maximal lifestyle, wether its filled with a beverage flavored candle or your favorite drink. 

This is the first of hopefully many items added to our newly dedicated home section of the website, the Dazey Den.

Dani worked directly with the team at Favor to test and pour over so many scents until we got it just right. The two flavors are paired perfectly with hints of other flavors and are SO TASTY (to smell lol).

Mimo: That Sunday morning brunch euphoria has finally been preserved. Indulge in a citrusy scent of effervescence with hints of fresh cut grass, reminiscent of dewy summer mornings and champagne flutes. 

Marg: 

It’s the best of tropical paradise, on the rocks. Immerse yourself in the scent of salt and citrus while sweet notes of strawberry guava complete the profile. If this doesn’t make you crave a strong marg, what will?

Plus you'll have gorgeous new cups to enjoy the actual drinks from when it's done!

Xx @danidazey
