What’s the best part about someone who looks at about 40 wedding blogs a week? They can sift through the annoying stuff* and bring you best of the web. That’s exactly what I aim to do.
*Lets get one thing straight. I know I’ll garner flack for this but I hate engagement shoots. They rarely offer any inspiration, take up way too much space on blogs, and are just a photographer tooting his or her own horn. I really have no interest in seeing 30 photos of people I don’t know lying around in the woods and eating cupcakes. *rant over*
DIY:
- Totally awesome homemade “Will you be my bridesmaid?” baskets complete with homemade peach vodka, touching video, and bridesmaid dress up paper dolls! Super cool idea. – Weddingbee
- Good DIY on a clothespin cake topper that normally sets you back $150 – The Budget Savy Bride
- Looking to give money as a gift? Here’s a fun take on that. – Cap Classique
- Instead of tags or chalkboard paint, use grease pencils to mark glasses. The scientist in me really appreciates this. – Givers Log
- Make impressive paper anemones – I Do It Yourself
- FREE ornate wedding clip art – Just Something I Made
The Lighter Side of Weddings:
- Brutally honest thank you notes – The Broke Ass Bride
- Photographers obsession with ringing phallic objects? - Manolo for the Brides
- Wedding Photo TMI shows the downside of archiving every moment of the big day. Bride on the toilet? Check! – Manolo for the Brides
- Freaky Photoshop wedding pictures. Yikes. – Manolo for the Brides (man were they ever ON lately)
Inspiration
- I don’t think I’ve seen such a creative wedding in awhile. Everything from her dark wedding dress to the most inventive photo booth I’ve seen in ages tickles me pink. Love it! – Style Me Pretty
- A boudoir photo session that involves both husband and wife. Nice change of pace – Hot Pink Brides
- A very beautiful wedding that incorporates a lot of things I love. The best part is 1/2 way down the page where you see their amazing guest book painting. – 100 Layer Cake
- A modern art museum wedding with lots of quirky fun details. Skip to the end to see their fun take on wedding cupcake arrangement. I love those vases btw – Green Wedding Shoes
- Exotic Bali wedding has lots of unusual photography. – Style Me Pretty
- Super cute wedding with a really cool display of mini-cakes – Style Me Pretty
- A lot of interesting elements in this wedding make it really pretty. – Wedding Chicks
- I saw this wedding elsewhere before and fell in love with the unique graphics of the dog and cat. This is a very creative couple. – One Lovely Day
- I’ve seen a few of these shoots in the Neon Boneyard and I’m always in love. – The Wedding Chicks
Misc:
- The only exception to my engagement photo styled shoot: Old people in love. Brings a tear to my eye. This wasn’t a recent post, but a great one. – Style Me Pretty
- Food for thought – Unplugged weddings. I think this is a fabulous idea and I will likely implement it. Who wants a picture of their wedding ceremony where the guest all look like one-eyed cyborgs? – Offbeat Bride
- How to get good wedding ring photos. – Manolo for the Brides
- A really beautiful couple’s story about how strong love can be. – Weddingbee
- Yet ANOTHER wedding featuring the dress I thought was meant for me but wasn’t.That damn thing is EVERYWHERE! - Ruffled Blog
Have fun browsing.
