Do you have a burning question for one of our PROS? Or do you have a general question about photography, invitations, flowers, or anything weddings?

Our PROS are here to help!

Weddingbee focuses on all aspects of the wedding planning process, from the proposal to the honeymoon and everything in between.  But we’ve always wanted to place more emphasis on how to improve and maintain healthy relationships with our significant others, which is far more important than the actual wedding day.  So we’re very excited to announce the first ever Weddingbee Book Club, where we’ll read…

In one of our contests last summer, we gave away 100 letterpressed invites from Jaelyn K Design to Weddingbee reader Elizabeth.

She was so happy with the stunning results, she sent us the following email:

While doing a bit of cleaning this past week, I stumbled on my old wedding planning folder.  I found some of our vendor contracts, so I thought I’d share them with you!  Keep in mind that these are prices from March 2005, but I think showing what was included in our contracts may be helpful.

Mr. Bee and I got married at the Westside Loft, a…

You know how you can browse the Gallery by post author, category, and chronological order of post by clicking the “More” buttons at the top of the page?  We’ve just added those links to the Boards! 

If you want to check out all the threads I’ve started for instance, click here!  Please try it out and let us know what you think.   Hopefully this makes surfing the boards a little…

Bridal shows can really be hit or miss, and if one was good a particular year, it isn’t necessarily indicative of whether it will be good the following year.  I typically don’t attend bridal shows, but I ended up going to three in the past month, and luckily… they were all great! 

First up was BFF Bridal.  Unfortunately I accidentally deleted the images on my camera from…

I just discovered a really cool image search engine called TinEye.  Here’s a description of the site:

TinEye is a reverse image search engine. You can submit an image to TinEye to find out where it came from, how it is being used, if modified versions of the image exist, or to find higher resolution versions. TinEye is the first image search engine on the web to…

I’m attending a special taping of the Martha Stewart show next week, and I need to bring a diy craft with me.  I wanted to make something with customized magnets because they’re cute and functional, but didn’t have the time.  So Mrs. Green Tea came to the rescue and graciously offered to make me some of her fantastic bee magnets.  This package arrived from her today,…

I first discovered Felix Doolittle’s charming stationery line years ago, and finally got around to ordering some of my very own.  My new address labels arrived in this adorable packaging…

There are tons of motifs to choose from, all equally adorable.

“I would love a link that would take you back post by post for a certain bee. Maybe next to the “older” “newer” links there could be “older by this bee” links?” - Mrs. Tiramisu

Last week, Mrs. Tiramisu suggested we add an “older by this bee” link. We’ve always wanted to do this… but never knew where to put those links.

Then last week when we were…

Some of the Bees mentioned that it’d be nice to have Weddingbee business cards, so we had a bunch printed up through Overnight Prints!  Many a Bee has used Overnight Prints including Miss Stiletto and Miss Blush for their save the date postcards, Mrs. Emerald for her invitations and thank you postcards, and I’m sure there are many more.  

They were super affordable — $178 for 5000…

Please click on over to Weddingbee PRO and help us give a warm hive welcome to the wonderfully talented letterpress designer Kimberly of Blue Ribbon Design!  

I wanted to give you guys a little update on Weddingbee PRO.  We’re going to be adding more PROS in the coming weeks, but we’re also going to be moving towards adding a guest post component. That way we…

I’m a guest judge for the big DIY contest over on our sister site Project Wedding!  The entries were divided between the 5 judges (me, Design Sponge, Kenzie Kate, Once Wed and Hostess with the Mostess), and each of us selected our favorite project.

There were so many amazing entries, but this Panel Pocketfold Invitation was my number one choice amongst the projects I evaluated.  I was really…

We’ve featured so many beautiful and inspirational wedding pictures over the years, and we’ve always wanted to create a way to highlight even more.  Then we had a bit of an epiphany last week and realized that we could adapt our message board software to power a picture gallery!

You can upload each photo into categories, like Pengy and a bunch of the Bees did for…

I know you guys are really sick of my mug, but I recently had my makeup done for a press video (that I’ll blog about later) by Sachiko Yanase (who did Mrs. Orange’s wedding day hair and makeup).  Sachiko was an absolute doll to work with.  I learned some great tips from her, so I had to share!

I asked her for a very natural look, and…
