Need wedding inspiration?
Congratulations to the newly engaged couples out there! As a newlywed myself, I understand how wonderful, stressful, and time-consuming wedding planning can be. Once you figure out the date, city, and venue, everything will fall into place just right.
Some little girls have been planning their wedding their entire lives down to a detailed scrapbook or they even have their wedding dresses hanging in the closet already! For those of you who have no idea where to start, what you need is INSPIRATION.
1. Pinterest – Pinterest is a virtual scrapbook/bulletin board. You have friends and walls just like Facebook, but it’s all about the images at Pinterest. You can click on DIY projects such as these beautiful tissue paper pom poms. It will give you the option of adding it to your board and will give you the direct link for more info. Pinterest is great for looking up DIY projects, wedding dress styles, hairstyles, color schemes, and flowers.
2. 2012 Wedding Trends – It is really helpful to know what’s in for 2 reasons.
a) What is popular is often what is in stock.
b) You want a memorable wedding that tops any you’ve attended!
According to the Belle Magazine blog, sequins, lace (on everything from your dress to the cake), burlap, and non-traditional wedding foods will be popular in 2012. Visit their blog for more 2012 Wedding trends: Belle Magazine Blog.
3. Facebook – You know you are just as guilty as I am of browsing photos of friends and non-friends once you see that white gown. It’s easy to click on facebook wedding albums for inspiration. You get to see how different personalities play into the look and feel of a wedding. Go ahead, indulge in a facebook creeping session, and put your sleuthing skills to work FOR you.
4. The Knot.com – The Knot is an excellent resource with everything from reviews of vendors to etiquette advice to photo galleries of beautiful weddings. If you join their email list, you will be eligible for special discounts with their preferred vendors. Remember, every penny counts!
5. Design Seeds – This site is AMAZING! Browse through this site for color inspiration. The picture below speaks for itself.
We would love to see what inspires you! Comment here or visit us on Facebook.
