The Next Best Thing To Online Shopping?
November 6th, 2007 @ 6:31 pm by Mrs. Canary
Window shopping… online!
New York Magazine has this awesome feature called Shop-A-Matic which features the latest trends in everything! I get so excited when I get one of their emails, but I’m sure my wallet (or Mr. Canary) doesn’t.
Another Source Of Inspiration
November 5th, 2007 @ 3:15 pm by Ms. Dahlia
There are a lot of places to find inspiration for weddings- a whole host of blogs that focus around design and/or weddings as well as the website of bridal magazines. One of my favorite blogs, however, is one that deals strictly in fashion and photography- The Sartorialist. Consider the possibilities that a single picture could have:
A color palate of rich greens, cocktail reception with lots of martinis. Not a whole lot of flowers, maybe some candles.
Bride-O-Rama
August 25th, 2007 @ 4:36 pm by Mrs. Peppermint
In my constant search for all things wedding, I recently found out about this new wedding blog/resource called Bride-O-Rama. My favorite feature is “Wedisodes”. Basically, each week they post a video-interview of a bride after her wedding. These are real brides (not always the lavish affairs that fill the bridal magazines–and I mean that as a positive thing!) and give you tips that you can really use.
Here’s their first episode:

Project Weddings
August 2nd, 2007 @ 6:23 pm by Mrs. Kiwi
Have you guys heard about Project Wedding? It’s a website made up of vendor reviews, forums, and photos for brides (and grooms) in California, New York/Jersey, Chicago and Hawaii! They expect to have more locations soon.
Last night I spent a good hour or so on the site, looking up reviews for our ceremony site and reception venue, favor ideas and alteration places. Also, I was glad to know that the bakery we chose to make our cake (Torrance Bakery) got better reviews than the other bakery we were considering. It’s nice to feel validated, isn’t it?
Cool Site: Toast & Tables
June 5th, 2007 @ 10:59 am by Mrs. Bee
I recently stumbled across a lovely blog called Toast & Tables in my surfing adventures. Sarah Dennis, the blogger behind it all, covers everything from crystal to china to linens for “the well-dressed table”. Her beautiful image layouts will help inspire your wedding tabletops and registries. It’s one of my new favorite reads!
Her recent Cape Cod Inspired Table Setting post reminded me of Miss Corn and her New England clambake reception! 
Website, Whee!
May 1st, 2007 @ 10:59 am by Mrs. Lime
kay, okay. I just wanted to alliterate. Ignore the bridal squeal at the end of the title. It’s been a long while since I’ve blogged due to searching high and low for an apartment [Blugh. Yes, that’s a word.], finding one [whew], moving Mr. Lime in [meh], starting to pack my own place up [double meh, but at least I have a month to move], squeezing in my company retreat to Napa [Whee! For real this time!], dealing with some family health issues [:(], and all this while both of us were extraordinarily busy at work [as in busier than we’ve been in over a year]. Gotta love how life always works that way. Needless to say, the wedding planning got pushed to the back burner for a bit. Fear not, for I am back with a few fun updates!
So to the real update. My most amazing roommate [Only for another month. *sniff*], who freelances on the side [she’s in the middle of a re-design of her site] is very close to finishing our website so it can finally go live. Up until last month, I was procrastinating majorly on it. I thought I could DImYself despite the fact I haven’t designed a full website in about 5 years. Yes, web technology has advanced quite a bit since then. I designed the concept and pages I wanted in Adobe Illustrator, then she translated it into web-ready fun for me, and finally she took my basic layout and ran with it, producing much cooler features than I would have thought of on my own.
Local Planning Resources
April 12th, 2007 @ 5:05 pm by Mrs. Pearl
Just a quick tip –
For those of you in California (especially the Los Angeles area), there are two resources you should be aware of when planning your weddings. They were absolutely invaluable to me when planning, and I know that they’ve been helpful to lots of other ladies.
For anyone who has been to Borders, I’m sure you’ve seen this giant guide laying around the wedding planning section. Save your money for something else you’d enjoy better because this resource is available for FREE online. Plus, when you use their site online, you can find locations by search criteria (metropolitan area, catering preferences, capacity, etc.).
They’ve expanded the guide to also include a search for services (coordinators, florists, etc).
Local Wedding Planning Sites
April 11th, 2007 @ 3:27 pm by Mrs. Bee
Recently Seattle based June Bug Weddings contacted us to say hello, so I clicked over to their site and was really impressed! Started by 3 photographers, the gorgeous site is filled with local vendor listings (who join by invitation only), pictures from real weddings, a blog, and more.
This got me thinking about other great local wedding websites. In New York there’s New York Magazine and LIWeddings. And Miss Lime mentioned quite a few California resources in her venue search post, as listed below.
Tell us about the great local wedding planning websites in your neck of the woods, and we’ll update this post to include them!
Hostess With the Mostess
April 11th, 2007 @ 12:05 pm by Mrs. Bee
One of our favorite blogs, Hostessblog, has just launched their all things entertaining website, Hostess With the Mostess. It’s filled with gorgeous bridal shower themes, gift ideas, and more. Check it out!
Mother-In-Law
April 5th, 2007 @ 4:52 pm by Mrs. Butterfly
Ok. Let’s be candid about this. How many of you like your mother-in-law (MIL)? Anyone? Anyone?
I’m just kidding. I know there are plenty of you who get along fabulously with your MIL. For the rest of you, I found a hilarious blog called MILDEW (Mothers In Law Do Everything Wrong). 
They’ve recently moved to another site (click here), but all of their old stuff is on the MILDEW site. I have been laughing my ass off for the last hour reading this stuff (I should be working…. oh well).
Enjoy!
