Wedding Blog

I realized that the other day I’ve written about bargains, and reusing supplies from other weddings/events, but didn’t mention the sites I scour regularly for great deals… so, in no particular order, here are some of my faves!

I found my mason jar maven, and DOC on IndieBride.com in Kvetch (their boards section). They have threads for most major cities and states.

I will always sing the…

Daily Candy is one of the first emails I open every morning. Haven’t heard of it? I couldn’t think of a better description than the one the website provides:

DailyCandy, a free daily e-mail newsletter and website, is the insider’s guide to what’s hot, new, and undiscovered - from fashion and style to gadgets and travel. As useful as it is entertaining, it’s like getting an…

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.

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…

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…

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…

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!

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],…

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.

1. Here Comes the Guide

For anyone who has been to Borders, I’m sure you’ve seen this giant guide…

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…

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!

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…

People Magazine’s first ever wedding issue hits newsstands on June 15th. Currently they’re looking for pictures and stories for ugliest bridesmaids’ dresses, wackiest ceremonies, wedding disasters, proposal stories, destination weddings, and weddings that were inspired by a celebrity. The first 250 people to submit a photo online will receive a wedding gift package of samples from their advertisers.

Right now they’re posting submissions they’ve received…

Designer, author, and entertaining guru Carolyne Roehm is best known for her gorgeous wrapping paper, ribbon, and embellishments, but I recently discovered she also has a fabulous online wedding magazine filled with inspirational pictures, diy instructions/templates, gift ideas, and more. You should definitely check it out for tabletop, floral, and gift wrap inspiration!

Squidoo (a super cool site made up of “experts” that create mini sites or “lenses” on all sorts of great topics) is having their Best Lens of The Year contest right now, and guess who’s up? Yep, little ole me and my Wedding Planning For Cool Chicks Lens.
