Wedding Blog

Oh Joy! is one of my favorite blogs, and is a definite must read for anyone looking for daily design inspiration.  Here she shares some of her favorite wedding picks: 

• favorite sites/blogs for inspiration: Brooklyn Bride, Something Old Something New, and Style Me Pretty.

• favorite wedding dress designer: Jenny Packham and Christos
• favorite bm dress designer: Melissa Sweet and Vera Wang
• favorite floral designer/floral inspiration: My dream florist would be Livia of The Green Vase.
• favorite cake designer: I can’t choose just one! Sarah Magid (in New York) for the most beautiful, organic cakes. I like that they’re pretty and a little quirky. For cupcakes, I love Cheyl’s work from Cupcake Blog and Le Cupcake in Australia.  Jin Patisserie (California) for mini cakes. And, for overall, over the top in style… Lovin Sullivan Cakes (in New York).
• favorite photographer/blog: I love the work of Karen Wise (New York). I am biased because she was my photographer, but her still life work is amazing too.
• favorite videographer: Jon from Well Spun Wedding Films (Philadelphia) creates gorgeous documentary-style short films that have a bit of vintage film qualilty to them.
• favorite place to shop for jewelry/accessories: Twist has the best selection of jewelry for special occasions. Philip Crangi, Anthony Nak, and Becky Kelso are my favorites. Also, Bonbon Oiseau for modern and whimsical pieces.
• favorite place to shop for shoes/shoe designer: Kate Spade and Zappos
• favorite place to shop for favors: I’m a big fan of Mari’s New York since we used her artisanal brownies for my wedding. Also, these cookies from Cutie Pie Cookie Co. are super cute. I prefer to get the favors from the vendor and create my own packaging. The new Martha Stewart Crafts has a great selection of paper items & packaging.
• favorite places to buy craft supplies: Paper Source and Martha Stewart Crafts
• favorite place to shop for wedding and/or wedding party gifts: For crafty things, Curiosity Shoppe…for modern
  design, A+R Store, and Anthropologie for simply pretty things.
