Wedding Blog

We recently added the ability to upload images to Classifieds!  Now you can upload up to 10 images when you post a listing.

I always knew images would add a lot to classifieds, but I have to admit: I was definitely surprised at just how helpful it is.  You can really see the difference:

• Beautiful Feather Flower Headpiece made by Twigs and Honey
• Brand new Vera Wang Wedding…

After Anne Ruthmann posted this fantastic tutorial on how to take ring shots on Weddingbee PRO, Weddingbee reader Lillindy used Anne’s advice to capture these amazing pictures of her Tacori ring below.  Of course that gave us an idea for a fun new feature: we’re going to feature ring shots that you send us dear readers!

So read Anne’s tips, get creative and take some fabulous…

I feel like I’m sharing so many product reviews, what with my recent glowing review of Fresh’ Sugar Face Polish, but when I find something I love, I feel like I have to share it!

I just purchased Laura Mercier’s oil-free foundation in Sunny Beige, after hearing rave reviews about it for years… and it definitely lives up to the hype!  I was surprised because I…

I may be biased, but I love Weddingbee PRO.

I think the stories behind how pros enter the wedding industry are fascinating, because they often fall into it accidentally or while pursuing a hobby or passion.  So check out all our PROs’ stories for lots of inspiring tales!

When we introduced shoes, you guys went totally gaga over them!  Mrs. Penguin and I thought that stiletto would be the first to be snatched right up.

But the shoes have actually been some of our least popular characters to date, with new bees opting to be hors d’oeurves or makeup instead.  We got to talking, and neither Mrs. Penguin or I could see ourselves as…

A friend and I are headed to New Orleans January 1st - 4th!

We’ve booked our room at the International House, and are planning out our itinerary.  While we’re there we’ll meet up with the Ballet Flats, visit Bourbon Street, eat at Cafe du Monde and check out a vampire tour (I need to read some Anne Rice and my recently purchased Sookie Stackhouse series to get in the vampire…

We’ve had a Related Posts module on the blog for a while now, and they’ve been pretty popular!

We’ve been wanting to add Related Posts to the message boards for a while now.  It was a little tricky, since our blog and boards use slightly differently types of software… but we finally pulled it off!

Now if you visit this boards posts on the Vera Wang 2008…

I’d always meant to get microdermabrasion, so after Mrs. Pomegranate told me what a dramatic difference it made in her skin pre-wedding, I was sold.  A couple months ago, I made an appointment with my dermatologist, but she suggested that I get a glycolic peel instead.  The appointment was fast — she applied the glycolic acid, left it on for a couple of minutes, and then I washed…

We’ve added a module in the right column with links to the latest Weddingbee PRO posts.  Now it’s easy for you to see when WB PRO has a new post up!

A lot of you reported trouble with commenting on Weddingbee PRO yesterday and today.  We think we just fixed the problem, so please let us know if you continue to have any problems at all!

You saw my pics, and the pro highlight pics, and now here is the final installment from my cousin Jessica’s wedding!  Please credit all photography to the fabulously talented John and Joseph Photography.

You guys loved her Cayla dress by Enzoani, so I’ve tried to include tons of pictures of it!

I’m excited to announce the latest member of the Weddingbee blog family: a group blog by top wedding vendors!

• http://www.weddingbeePRO.com

Weddingbee PRO is a group blog about weddings, just like Weddingbee.  But this blog will have real wedding *vendors*, blogging about weddings from the vendor side of the aisle.  It’s the first group blog of its kind, and we couldn’t be more excited!

Can you believe it’s been…

Hey everyone! 

We’ve been busy little bees behind the scenes, working on our first Weddingbee spinoff blog!

We’re going to announce it at 8:30 am EST tomorrow morning, so please stay tuned!
