I’ve been doing a lot of wedding website trial runs lately. I started out with The Knot, moved onto WedSpace, and ended up with My Wedding, which I still wasn’t happy with. Now I don’t need the créme de la créme when it comes to a website, but I like to customize, and make things colorful and personalized. And, I don’t know, justify something to center if I really want to. None of the aforementioned websites were giving me that option, and I was getting mad. Fox growl.
So then I thought, what if I recreate a Blogger (or Wordpress) site to make it look like a normal website, and have that be ourwedding website? I basically know how to edit and format Blogger to make it do something close to what I want, so I gave that a go. Then I kept hearing how fantabulous Wordpress was, so I tried that. And failed miserably. I don’t know you all do it.
Back to Blogger I went.
I’d like to say I was relatively successful. Here’s a preview of what I have so far!
It’s still a work in progress, but I have to say that I’m kind of loving it. Our colors will (should) run along this general theme:
So it’s kind of all matchy-matchy with the background, which I love. Now, to actually get some content on there, besides our beautiful shining faces. Hah.
Do you have a wedding website? What host site did you ultimately decide to use?
OK, why didn’t I think of this? I’ve had SUCH frustrations with our wedding website on WeddingWire. Too late to change it now, but I’ll keep it in mind in case friends ask me for suggestions later 
Looks great!
we have a wedding website, which we actually listed on our invitations for info instead of tons of little cards in the envelope. we use weddingwire and i’m happy with it, though the fonts are a little funny to work with sometimes.
Your website is adorable! I am technologically challenged, and tried to follow Mrs. Ostrich’s tutorial on Blogger wedding websites even though I have two blogs on Wordpress. I had no success. I decided I don’t really need to customize anything, and stuck to a pretty template on WeddingWire. I am too impatient to make the Internet pretty. Haha. Major downfall.
It took me forever as well to find the website I wanted to use…but was lucky to land on wedsite.com I LOVE IT! you can see samples of others on facebook. It was the right fit for us, and have already received a ton of compliments.
Yours looks great by the way!!
Wow - it’s a great look and the background is fun and vibrant!
We stuck with Weddingwire because it had the ready made templates, and I was too lazy too make a new one with wordpress. I love your colors! So fun! Perfect for a summer wedding!
We called in a favor from an old friend and got a killer site! http://www.therealchrisallen.com/wedding
First, I love your colors! So Springy! Two, we had a lot of luck with http://www.projectwedding.com I put Mr. Aardvark in charge of the website and he we both love how it turned out.
@Queen2bee: Lol you’re too funny - WeddingWire definitely has some great templates to choose from! I’m just anal about things, hah.
@matthews.jenn: Your site is AMAZING. Love. it.
Looks beautiful! Love the colors! I went with Project Wedding….I was able to customize it more than any other website would let me…but it was still a template so I didn’t have to fuss with it too much which was kind of nice.
I am still using the very fisrt one I looked at on brides.com. I love it!
I don’t have a website yet, but I’m definitely thinking of using blogger. I keep my blog there already, so I’m think that will probably be the easiest option for me. Plus it’s free and easy to customize.
I used weddingwire.com. I absolutely love it. Even the techies at my Dad’s job love it. It’s totally customizable and you can justify things to center!
Blogger works too, but weddingwire has a lot more options for tabs that are already pre-designed. I’ll PM you my site.
I really love that website background! Might have ‘borrow’ it for my regular blog! Good work foxy!

Miss Fox, Washington DC/Havre de Grace, MD Age and Occupation: 26, Massage Therapist Fiance's Age and Occupation: 28, Field Support Engineer Engagement Date: April 18, 2010 Wedding Date: June 2012 Venue: Vandiver Inn About Me: I’m a dancer turned massage therapist who was born and raised in New York. Alas, true love has brought me “south” where I still maintain my penchants for pretty shoes, wine, crossword puzzles, cherry blossoms, and the Mets. I own more sunglasses than a normal person should and don’t eat red meat (though I make up for it by eating my weight in sushi). I tend to be a big planner who likes to get things started early, but generally end up being indecisive and procrastinating when it comes down to it. I have a (not so) secret crush on Chris Carrabba, but my loyalty and love ultimately goes to the future hubs, of course! Together, my Foxy man and I love to discuss (read: debate) politics and current events, have Mario Kart and Scrabble duels, and just laugh. A lot. We’re hoping and planning for a laid back, fun, summery, rustic vibe to our June wedding that will be genuinely “us” – that is, if we finally make some decisions. Huzzah!
