Best Wedding Resources
What could be a better first post on a
blog about wedding planning than the tool we use the most often
ourselves... the internet. There are a million different resources
when it comes to wedding planning and no longer are the days where
you can have a little planning book with a neat and tidy checklist.
Everyone's wedding is different and not everyone is going to fit into
the traditional checklist. And with the modern age comes the
limitless resource that is the internet. So instead of trying to sift
through the billions of websites, here's a few of my favorites.
Wedding Wire is one of the biggest,
most complete compilation of wedding vendors out there and its easy
to use. Each vendor is given a page that has all of their company
information including reviews from their previous clients. Wedding
Wire has a limitless supply of resources within the site including
forums, deals, fashion and travel ideas, and event information.
Vendors really parade themselves on this site because it's accessible
to everyone and its not overwhelming so it really appeals to all
types of brides.
You may already be aware of the
magazine but The Knot's website is full of even more information. I
personally prefer the print version of just about any enterprise but
if you're looking for a ton of information all in one place,
TheKnot.com is the place. Another thing I can appreciate about this
company, is that they've got a site for every stage of your life-
babies, home buying and decoration, and a beauty and style site.
Everyone laughs at me when I say that I
love Martha Stewart Weddings but that's only until they go on and
look for themselves. Marthastewartweddings.com is great for finding
venues and vendors but what I really love is all of the DIY ideas and
the blend of traditional and modern that lends itself to a simple
elegance. Just like the previous sites, Martha Stewart Weddings has
everything you're looking for to plan your wedding but does err on
the side of tradition. And if you're looking for advice, there are
plenty of etiquette articles as well, because everyone loves a polite
bride.
Blogs
There are
hundreds of wedding blogs out there to look at but it can all be a little
overwhelming. As much as I hate to say it, I find a lot of wedding
blogs (as different as they are) are all very alike. All lovely, but
serve mainly as inspiration to future brides by featuring other
weddings. I believe this can result in inspiration overload. But
sometimes a little inspiration is all we need. So if you've read
everything on The Unveiled Truth and you're looking for some more
info, here are some of my favorites:
Style Me Pretty- Lovely and Chic
Broke Ass Bride- Brides on a budget
with a side of bad-assitude
Ruffled- Sophisticated Indie (also has
a great wedding marketplace to buy/sell wedding items)
Off Beat Bride- For the alternative
bride who does everything just a little differently
