Get Your Google On

November 3rd, 2008 @ 12:56 pm by Miss Deviled Egg

When it comes to doing any type of research on the internet, whether it be for the wedding, at work, or something personal, I always choose Google as my go-to search engine. Regardless of how specific or general my search, I am rarely disappointed by the results produced from this amazing tool.

From Google, of course.

I recently discovered a little search tip that makes finding wedding items (or any item for that matter) in a certain price range super easy.

As many of you know, I’ve been greatly influenced by mid-century weddings. The time period between 1948 and 1964 holds so much charm and fascination for me that it was a natural choice and source of inspiration for our wedding. Many of my earlier posts at Weddingbee explored this topic in great detail!

Below is a compilation of my favourite vintage links, comprised of websites and some unusual sources of invaluable information!

Some excellent vintage resources:

I am obsessed with NPR, the Food Network, paper, dance shows, Anthropologie, post-structuralist theory, Weddingbee!, "The Office," and celebrity gossip.

We have only been dating for fifteen years, so it's like I'm in love with a stranger! From the East Coast, we are planning a Jewish-Chinese Extravaganza in L.A., where we both grew up.

I Like Free Stuff

July 25th, 2008 @ 9:30 am by Miss Hot Cocoa

For me, it was when I discovered that Kleinfeld’s charges you $50 if you miss an appointment. You know the feeling…that sense of outrage (or exasperation) that comes from the realization that the wedding industrial complex is out to squeeze every last cent out of you that it can. Arrrrgh. So in my first real Weddingbee post, I thought I’d introduce a few web-based applications that I’ve found really helpful and [insert happy dance] are free.

1. Free fonts

If you’re like me and can wax poetic about the refined elegance of Garamond or the graceful beauty of Zapfino, you are going to heart dafont.com. Hundreds of easy-to-install and creative fonts- free for personal use. I’ve been completely obsessed with Jane Austen lately- perfect for penning snarky love/hate mail to your own Mr. Darcy. And I can’t get over the quirky, simple lines of Rough Typewriter, which would be a chic font for retro wedding or for a ransom note.

I love writing, computers, photography, and the great outdoors. I spend most of my time playing Guitar Hero and Rock Band or geeking out online with Mr. Cherry Pie. I'm happiest when I'm on the road, especially traveling abroad, or just nesting quietly at home with my sweetie, who is a fabulous cook and bakes a delicious rendition of a certain cherry-filled dessert!
