I found these sweet cupcake pops on the Bakerella blog. If you're a lover of all things cupcake, this is definitely worth a click. It makes you want to run out and make some for yourself. In addition, I thought that these would make for some wonderful favors or after reception treats. Either way, they'd make a delicious and super cute snack!
My first real venture into reading a blog consistently was WeddingBee. I started reading before the idea of marriage even was a topic of conversation. I found WeddingBee through my co-worker who was chosen as a bee last spring. She is now Mrs. Tomato. Since then I started casually reading the blog and then it became a routine in the morning. With so many different voices of all the bees, there were so many ideas and points of view. It was great!
However, the entire time that I was "secretly" reading WeddingBee, part of me felt like I shouldn't be. I wasn't a bride to be. I wasn't helping plan a wedding. I didn't have anything to do with the wedding world. But I enjoyed reading the blog, especially since I would in the future...someday.
After the engagement, I felt like I had a legitimate reason to be reading WeddingBee. I didn't feel embarrassed to be reading bridal things because now I had a reason. Now I use WeddingBee for all sorts of inspiration. The other bees have had so many great ideas and a lot of it was DIY. I'm looking to do as much (within reason) DIY. I'm going for a personalized look that is entirely us. Thanks WeddingBee for being such an inspiration!
The lovely and wonderful blog-read Snippet & Ink provides great inspiration for color palettes and detail ideas. Thank goodness for labels on blog posts! I found the inspiring palettes that include blue, one of the basic colors I will be including in my wedding. Thank you Kathryn for pulling these together everyday for your readers' inspiration and enjoyment!
I think I found out about Elizabeth Anne Designs as a recommended RSS feed from Google Reader and as a link from another wedding blog. I'm sure glad I found their site! One of my most favorite parts of wedding planning so far has been the discovery of all these amazing, creative, helpful, and super awesome wedding blog.
The main "voices" of the site are Elizabeth and Anne, with guest bloggers from other blogs such as Liene from Blue Orchid Designs (her blog is fantastic as well!). They feature lovely real weddings, post ideas for inspiration boards, and all kinds of other fabulous wedding stuff. They are a multiple-times daily read for me. And they added me to their link love! How awesome is that? You should definitely check out Elizabeth Anne Designs!
Since becoming a "Bride-to-Be" a couple of months ago, I've been scouring the Net for ideas. My good friend Google Reader suggested The Brides Cafe, a blog by Janie Medley of JM Flora Design. She features wonderful floral and reception decoration ideas, as well as beautiful Real Weddings. I find Real Weddings especially inspiring because, as the name indicates, it's real. Someone made those dreams and ideas come true.
I've been really excited about creating the "look" of my wedding. I've been considering chocolate and a blue/turquoise/aqua color. I like the look of low centerpieces. I like the look of candles. I'm really looking for a lovely, cohesive look.
Janie has featured so many lovely ideas. I put together some of the reception ideas that I found while browsing The Bride's Cafe. Thanks Janie for posting such great inspiration!
