Weddingbee Blog

Hey guys,

I do plan to respond to your comments in yesterday’s big announcement, but I’ve been sick and as you can imagine, it’s been a little crazy.  I want to be able to take everything in before I respond in a bit, so thanks for your patience.

In the meantime, I thought I’d share a little bit of fun news with you.  In addition to the new DIY guest blog feature, we’ve also been working on another new feature called “Bee Spotlight”.  In this feature, we’ll write a summary about a past bee, link to their wiki, post some wedding pictures, as well as write an update on what they’re up to now.  Miss Avocado suggested that I feature myself first, so I’ll be sprucing my wiki up and scanning in some wedding pictures (yep we had a film photographer!) over the weekend.  Mrs. Ladybug, who was our first official Bee, is working on her Bee Spotlight right now. We hope this is a great way for you to get to know some of the older bees who are no longer actively blogging on the site.

Here’s the adorable little icon Irene created for us.  Do you have a preference?

And as I mentioned previously, we’re also working on a “pro” version of Weddingbee, where we feature the best posts by wedding photographers, bakers, florists, planners, and more.

This is what we came up with for the icons — the vendor’s polaroid style profile picture, along with a character indicating what type of vendor they are.  Pictured below is florist, photographer, baker, wedding planner, and stationery designer created by Irene.  Please let us know what you think, and which cake and stationery icon is your favorite.

We hope that you’re as excited for these features as we are!
