weddingplanningsites

Something a little different this week. It’s for the brides! Or for those of us helping to plan a wedding, know a bride, or a wedding photographer…so it can be helpful for us all! Yay! We’re focusing on some wedding planning sites this week! I just love these sites and I’ll give you a hint…. they are GREAT inspiration if you are planning any kind of party and need ideas! So here are a few of my faves…

1. The Knot. Of course, the mamajama of them all! I used this site to help me plan my wedding and now am a proud Featured Vendor! This site has it all and has a great list of local vendors that you can use!

2. 100 Layer Cake: A recent addition to my bookmarks for blogs I read. This is more of a blog than an actual site but I just love the uniqueness. For the bride looking for unique ideas/inspiration.

3. WedPlan: A bit like the Knot…lots of fun info and vendors along with some great ideas.

4. Wedding Wire: Another one I’ve loved since my wedding. Know why? Because you can go and give reviews for you vendors and get gift certificates!! And its on the up and up…I did it and got a sweet canvas from Canvas On Demand.

5. And last but not least..my fave! Project Wedding! I knew I was a fan when I photographed this wedding and was blown away by all the awesome details of the day…done by the bride herself! She was a Project Wedding fan and I was hooked! Love me some wedding with awesome DIY projects that just make the wedding completely unique! This is the site I go to if I need party ideas!

a travel five

Friday, September 4th, 2009

five

this weekend we celebrate Labor Day! While all odds that we will probably sit at home and lounge, maybe take a trip to the Smokies for a hike or go to nearby lake Norris, lately I’ve been dreaming of a little traveling and wishing upon a beach somewhere:) So, we’re dedicating this five on friday to all the places we wish we were or hope to go someday!

Here is my five…what is yours?

1. Tonga. Hands down my favorite place on this earth. In a weird way I consider this my home. Perhaps it was living there in my formative pre-teen years, or the way the beaches seem to fade all your worries away. Regardless, I would love to go back there. I know it would be different now, through the eyes of a 20 something mom rather than a 12 year old, but man, would I love to experience that difference.

2. Africa. Yes, this is very broad but its a place that I’ve always wanted to go.

3. Some big nice resort in Mexico/Caribbean. Not too picky here on the location, its all about the amenities in this one. I can only dream of the awesomeness! I’ve never been and am usually not one for froofy hotels. Yes, froofy…not sure if that is a word but we’re going with it. However, I’m pretty sure I could soak up some luxuriousness of those resorts!

4. Anywhere in an RV. Always wanted to take a trip in an RV and I’m hoping that one may be on the horizon for next year! We could be in the middle of nowhere, doing nothing, and I’d still be happy in my RV. ahhh…

5. NYC. An old staple. I could go every year. I love it. The hustle and bustle of it all, yet you find these little areas of such community. I’m usually not a taxi girl that but next time I go, I’m definitely taking one in hopes it will be the Cash Cab!
