Favorite Wedding Blogs

Every Thursday of our weekly blog we present a showcase. The showcase is of a particular someone or company that is playing an active part in the world of art, fashion, and all around creativity. We hope that this segment of our blog serves as a platform for some of the people and businesses we find interesting.

We want to show off people who are making lasting footprints in our fascinating little world.

This week, I want to share with you some great Bridal Blogs. As a recent newlywed, I know I couldn't have planned my wedding without some of these awesome resources. They are many undiscovered sites out there that give really, really good advice and ideas for FREE!  The photography alone is worth the visit (scouts honor).  So without further ado, Here are MY TOP FIVE MUST READ BRIDAL BLOGS! (in no particular order) 

1. Brooklyn Bride: planning a modern wedding in a world of pink flowers & poofy dresses

This site is for the modern bride. It features up and coming vendors in all fields such as photography, calligraphy, invitations, fashion, and gifts, along with coverage of bridal shows, shop reviews, and everything in between. It is also in every wedding publication you can think of. Chances are if you have read a wedding magazine within the past 2 years, you have glanced over their ideas. Plus, they are in Martha's Circle, so major kudos to them.
