Sulla Tips

April 14th, 2006 @ 11:36 am by Mrs. Firefly

For those of you who surf bios on The Knot, you may have noticed that some girls have this icon in their bios:

Sulla Tips were written by Knottie Sulla (freelance journalist Jennifer Mendelsohn) who was a regular on the Knot’s message boards while planning her 2002 wedding. Her tips are great and include insightful thoughts like:

My best piece of wedding advice? Its a party, its a party, its a party. Don’t let your obsession with making sure you do and buy all the stuff you’re “supposed” to suck the joy out of your very joyous day. Just let it roll and make sure that your wedding is, at heart, a celebration, not a staged production. [...]

[N]obody ever leaves a wedding saying, “Yeah, it was soooo great! The mother of the groom’s dress was the SAME EXACT SHADE as the bridesmaids’ shoes!” People leave a wedding thinking it was great because it felt great - because the bride and groom were in love and happy, and the party felt appropriately joyous, even if there’s not a single Martha Stewart-ish detail anywhere in sight.

I see you smirking … but, c’mon, you’ve thought about “important” details like that.

She also wrote a great article about post wedding let-down in the Washington Post.

I was wondering, how do i find people’s bios on theknot.com that lists their personal photos and their tips and lists of their vendors. I cant seem to find it. Can you please help? Thank you for sharing such a wonderful site to us all!

You can find an alphabetical list of bios here:

There is a search function on the knot (scroll down to the bottom of any message board), but to be honest, it doesn’t really work well. I just searched for myself as a test, and my bio didn’t come up.
