Weddingbee Readers’ Favorite Resources
September 23rd, 2007 @ 6:19 pm by Mrs. Bee
Now that some of our favorite wedding bloggers have shared their favorite wedding resources, it’s time for you to share yours!
There were too many fields to fill out at once, so we’re going to go through them one at a time, tally up all the results at the end to determine the winners, and give away some fun prizes to random commenters. 
First up - please comment below with your favorite sites/blogs for inspiration!
* we’ll have a separate category for favorite planning resources (books, magazines, websites), so you don’t have to include those here.
** comments with more than one link automatically go into moderation (to protect us against spam), so if your comment doesn’t appear right away, don’t worry - it will as soon as we clear our moderation queue.
41 Responses to “Weddingbee Readers’ Favorite Resources”
Style Me Pretty and Oh Joy are the most useful blogs for wedding inspiration. But I also devour interior design blogs like Desire to Inspire, This is Glamorous…
Social Design and obviously weddingbee. The bios on the knot, though, are truthfully probably the most useful resource I’ve found.
This one - of course! http://www.confetti.co.uk which is also good for planning and speech tips etc, and http://www.alwaysabridesmaid.typepad.com. I like reading about other people’s weddings!
I read almost all of the wedding blogs. Besides Weddingbee I think that the most useful ones that regularly offer new and inspiring ideas and that don’t rehash a lot of the same stuff or do reposts of posts from other wedding blogs are Something Old Something New - http://kenziekate.blogspot.com/ and Style Me Pretty - http://www.stylemepretty.com/
For local resources I like to read dcnearlyweds - http://www.dcnearlyweds.com/, and a number of the D.C./Virgina/Maryland area photographer blogs.
Thehe knot boards are still the best for great local vendor finds despite the occasional cattyness.
My favorite is Brooklyn Bride’s Blog:
My favorite resource for ideas and inspiration is Indiebride hands down. I am constantly inspired by my fellow brides creativity and originality!
TheKnot message boards, first and foremost. I’ve gotten virtually all of my vendors from recommendations on those boards/bios.
I really like the ideas on Perfect Bound.

There are a million more in my reader, but those are my favorites… and I know there are a million more that I don’t know about!
Well, being a crazy wedding blog reader… I have many sites I read religiously day after day.
Here are my daily reads:
Wedinngbee - http://www.weddingbee.com
Style Me Pretty - http://www.stylemepretty.com
Perfect Bound - http://www.perfectbound.blogspot.com/
Something Old Something New : http://kenziekate.blogspot.com/
Oh Joy: http://ohjoy.blogs.com
And the new Martha Stewart Blog - http://blogs1.marthastewart.com/weddings/
And I am sure I am missing so many more….
Hopefully one day my blog will be in the list
I really should have mentioned all the blogs in my blogroll. WeddingBee, Style Me Pretty, Brooklyn Bride, Style Me Pretty and Junebug are daily reads. Bride of Rochester , Classis Bride, Preppy Bride and Oh Happy Blog! are new reads and always a treat. Toast and Tables, Decor8, Design Sponge and other style blogs like All the Best, Blosem and This is Glamorous also inspire me to think about color, texture and great design. When I’m in the mood for food I check out Chocolate and Zucchini as well. Can I vote twice?
