Weddingbee Blog

It’s funny, I always looked forward to the day I’d have a ring on and could legitimately buy wedding magazines. And now I find most of them really quite lame. The editorial content is staid and boring (look, another article on what to do if your parents are divorced), the spreads uninspiring. They’re always pushing ridiculously overpriced stuff ($10 for each invitation, that’s reasonable). Internet sites like this one and theknot have MUCH better ideas, a fresh and original take on things, and are in touch with the reality. Viva weddingbee!

You guys are right. All the ideas I like have come from fellow knotties, not one from any of the trillion magazines I’ve bought!

In reality thats how it is with all magazines. Same old articles over and over, sex tips, makeup secrets, weight loss blah blah. When I interned for a magazine, it really set that in for me. Now when I look at magazine covers I laugh.

i don’t even own a single wedding magazine and i don’t plan on buying one in the future either. why spend money when you can get so much great information and helpful tips on the whole wedding planning/process via the internet?? and i noticed that when you have a magazine, you don’t really “research” the articles thoroughly but rather, skim over it is a magazine after all so it’s hard to read everything from cover to end. but with the internet, you have an endless amount of resources right at your fingertips, and you can skip, skim, pick and choose, whatever you want whenever you want. that’s why i love weddingbee and so many other great wedding sites! but hurry up and make one for LA damn it!
