Wedding Blog

I decided to have some letterpress business cards printed up as a gift for Mrs. Penguin recently.  We don’t really have official titles here at Weddingbee, so when I got to thinking what Mrs. Penguin’s title should be, I realized that she’s really been the Editor in chief since the beginning of this year.  She’s been doing a fantastic job — she loves Weddingbee and…

On one particular day this past week, I received two emails from readers asking why we don’t have any African American Bees.  That same day, I received another email asking why there were so many Asian and Caucasian bloggers on Weddingbee.  We get a lot of emails from readers requesting that we feature bloggers of a certain ethnicity, geographic region, budget, religion or gender.  We…

I attended a special weddings taping of the Martha Stewart Show yesterday.  Check it out on PRO!

This awesome Coca Cola Superbowl ad features so many of our original bugs!  It was too cute not to share.  Be on the lookout for ladybug, grasshopper, bee, butterfly, dragonfly, caterpillar, and beetle!

Is up on Weddingbee PRO.  Go check it out!

Here is the second and final installment of the Bee ornament exchange.  The only parameters we set was that the ornament had to be under $15.  Check out more bee creativity below!

This year the Bees participated in a Secret Santa where we exchanged ornaments of each Bee’s character!  Some were made, some were purchased, but all were adorable.  With a budget of $15, check out what our talented and creative bees came up with!

Lately we’ve been getting some emails about some of the ads that appear on Weddingbee, so I thought I’d share a little bit about how they work.

Other than the small button ads in the left sidebar, all of our ads are automatically generated by Google Adsense.  Because those ads come from Google, we don’t get a chance to review them before they go up on…

The Engage 08 conference was an all day event, and I was scheduled to speak on a panel right after lunch.  I was so nervous leading up to it, that I hardly took any pictures!  Luckily there were some fabulous photographers in attendance whose pictures I’ve borrowed below.

Let me start by saying that the conference was phenomenol, as evidenced by the large number of…

I’m sorry I didn’t give you guys more advance notice about the show, but I’m very shy about press of any kind.  I know that’s a little ridiculous since I was just on Martha Stewart Radio this morning! 

I’m very much an introvert and still get anxious and nervous whenever I have to speak publicly, but I’ll definitely continue to do more press as the opportunities arise… and hopefully there will…

Hey everyone!

I’ll be on Martha Stewart Radio sometime this morning after 9.  You can go on the website and listen with a free online trial membership.

Wish me luck!

Mrs. Bee here. 

I recently heard from several readers and bees that they’re more into weddingbee after they’re married than before.  Maybe it’s just PTWS, but I wonder when you totally get weddings out of your system.

So married readers please share, how long have you been married and does your wedding obsession show any signs of waning?

I started Weddingbee because I felt like brides could use honest, personal feedback about the wedding industry…  and I felt like wedding magazines just weren’t doing the trick.  There’s something about blogging that’s just honest and personal.

I just want to clarify: we at Weddingbee would never do anything to jeopordize the editorial integrity of the site. We’ve received many offers for “pay for play” advertising,…

Hi everyone!  Hope you’re having a fantastic Friday!

I did an interview earlier today and they asked for some photos of cool things that have been featured on weddingbee.  I’m pulling together some images for them, and I could really use your help.

Can you guys share some of your favorite projects, pictures, ideas and posts that have been featured on weddingbee to date?  I’d love to get your…

One of our advertisers just contacted us because a website posted an ad she has on weddingbee on their site (without permission).  When I clicked over, I thought that the bride character on the front page was awfully familiar looking.  What do you think?
