Get Your Google On

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.

Since many of you are in the thick of it, this comes as no surprise, but wedding planning is hard work y’all! For those of us who are attempting to honor tradition by incorporating religious or regional customs, things can get even more harried.
Luckily there are tons of resources out there to help us out. The following is my short list of favorite Southern wedding inspiration and planning resources.
First off is one of my favorite sites, Southern Weddings Magazine. They are constantly featuring gorgeous Southern weddings with fabulous details.

As many of you know, I’ve been greatly influenced by mid-century weddings.

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!

I Like Free Stuff

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]
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.
