Our guest blogger today is Cyd. Cyd’s Matron of Honor/FSIL had entered her into our Bella Figura Letterpress STD/Invitation contest about a year ago, and won! Cyd not only got letterpress invites, but had the opportunity to tour Bella Figura. Today she’s sharing an inside look at the letterpress shop with us!

Today’s behind the scenes at Bridal Guide Magazine post comes to us from Associate Home Design Editor, Aimée Morgan.

Good day Weddingbee’ers! Has it really been 4 months since we last caught up??? Well, I’m guessing your wedding plans are rockin’, your mom (or m-in-law) is potentially driving you crazy and you would love to indulge in some bridal R&R… aka… my life! Last time, I…

Today’s behind the scenes at Bridal Guide Magazine post comes to us from  Senior Associate Editor, Elena Donovan Mauer.

Greetings from New York’s Lower East Side—or maybe we’re technically in Chinatown. Either way, here we are wrapping up the January/February 09 issue’s “Party Planner” photo shoot (don’t we work mighty far in advance?) and I’m coming to you via my laptop.

As I was sitting here, watching…

One of the many hats I wear on our editorial team is that of a fine jewelry market editor. It’s my job to know about engagement rings and other wedding-day jewels, to choose pieces to include in the magazine and to write about shopping for jewelry. This is something…

It’s time for another behind the scenes glimpse into the wedding magazine world!  Today’s guest post is by Bridal Guide Magazine Associate Fashion & Beauty Editor, Alison Rowe.

Can you believe it’s 90-degrees out and we are about to start working on the January/February ’09 issue—which, by the way, is going to be especially beautiful, as we are shooting the entire fashion well (that chunk of the…

Today’s guest post is from Bridal Guide Magazine Assistant Home Design Editor, Aimee Morgan.

Before moving to NY (on a whim and only for the summer—almost four years ago!), and working at Bridal Guide, I envisioned the city, and editors in general, as gurus in their chosen industry; every fashion editor MUST step out the door wearing Prada, Jimmy Choos and looking like a shampoo model, and…

At Bridal Guide, I need to stay on top of the latest wedding stationery trends, so every year I head to the National Stationery Show in New York. It’s a huge industry expo where stationery designers and suppliers show their new…

Our guest blogger Andrea created these super fun diy playbill programs that she wanted to share with the hive!

~~~

A lot of wedding programs looked like restaurant menus to me, so it was one of the first DIY projects I wanted to tackle.   My fiance came up with the great idea of making a playbill - we love the theater, so it fit us perfectly.

Over the next couple of weeks, Bridal Guide Magazine editors will be writing some guest posts on behind the scenes happenings at one of the largest bridal magazines.  This first installment is by Dana Wagner, Fashion & Beauty Editor at Bridal Guide.

One of (and arguably *the*) most important aspects of my job is covering the bi-annual bridal markets—that’s when all the editors, buyers and industry insiders get first glimpse…

This guest blog is by Emily of Blossomluxe, who made 90 pairs of earrings for her friend to give as wedding favors to female guests.

This project was a real labour of love for a friend’s wedding. She and the groom planned to give beer coolers (stubby holders in Australian lingo!) to the male guests as favours and were looking for an elegant alternative for their…

My second day back to work after the honeymoon, my counterpart at another organization called and asked point-blank what was going on. Apparently a month earlier, he’d called and asked for me, and was told I was “on leave due to a personal tragedy.” Two weeks later, he called again and was told I was on my honeymoon. Both answers were right.

On June…

I’ll admit. I didn’t really plan on having a “green” wedding. But a lot of what we are doing is really turning out to be quite environmentally friendly! We ended up ordering recycled paper for our invitations and envelopes, which was almost purely coincidence. But, it was the right color and I will admit to feeling a bit better about the price knowing it was…

Hi everyone, I’m Rhonda from Our Wedding Plus Blog. I’m honored to have this opportunity to guest blog on Weddingbee on such an important topic!

Having a “Green Wedding” may seem like the latest fad but in fact it is quickly becoming a necessity.  Global warming is expected to give us some major problems in the next 40 years and weddings can be a big drain…

I knew I could DIY and I think this project was successful! My mom and I made four pomanders for hanging from shepherd’s hooks from the entrance of the wedding venue. These are wonderfully bright and should look awesome!
