Wedding Blogs
Tuesday May 16, 2006
People in the blogosphere sometimes ask me for my favorite wedding blogs, and the truth is, there aren't many. Some people, like Doug Gordon, write terrific blogs, but then they get married and change topics, or simply stop blogging.
So I was very pleased to find Manolo for the Brides. Some of you may know Manolo's popular shoe blog, or his funny recaps of the Bravo TV show Project Runway. This wedding blog seems to be written by a different person, and doesn't have as much of the humor. However, it is written with a strong, clear voice, and has interesting links to fashionable things.
Another blog I read is Here Comes the Blog. This relatively new site has a personable, chatty tone and interesting thoughts on wedding planning.
Do you have a favorite wedding blog? Share it in the comments!

Hi Nina!
You’re right – there aren’t that many wedding blogs, but I have come across some that I like including Doug’s, Manolo’s, and Here Comes the Blog. These are a couple more good ones:
http://thebridalblog.observer.com/
http://www.bridalwave.tv/
http://www.wedaholic.com/
http://www.youmaynowkisstheblog.com/index.html
I also run a New York based group wedding blog at http://www.weddingbee.com myself. =)
Hope you find these useful!
Have you seen Bridalicious? that is a fun blog too.
I just noticed that Wedaholic was also surprised to find good weddings blogs – I like reading both of your sites and I posted this on her site too.

Hi Nina,
I swear I didn’t see your blog the day before I wrote mine! It must be great minds think alike!
I just thought I should branch out and see what other wedding blogs were out there.
Abigail – I love the name “Bridalicious” , will certianly have to add http://bridalicious.blogspot.com/ to my bloglines account. Revieing other blogs is fun and something I will have to do again.

Hi Nina!
Thanks for the mention! I am indeed a separate entity from The Manolo
I love your stuff, btw!
Cheers,
N.t.B.
Hi Nina. I have one to suggest that perhaps might be worth a visit. This blog is humorous and entertaining. There are also product and site reviews. It’s
Dahlia’s Day .
Hi!
I’ve just come across about.com and it’s so nice to see the comments on Bridalwave which I edit.
Hope you drop by to visit us soon!

I like the wedding blog
123 Affordable Weddings. Good for ideas on saving money. Helped me out a lot.

We are using the blog so people keep informed, I think people are reading it, at least there are hits in Google analytics…
I like this article alot and how in the world did I get out of the mix. I have been writing my bridal blog since May 17, 2004. Hope you can add it to the mix. Cassandra
My girlfriend and I started a blog where brides can find answers to their wedding planning questions.
Hope everyone enjoy reading it. Thanks Mimi.
You may also want to try Lena’s Wedding Tips’ Blog for quick tips on planning a wedding.
I have a wedding blog Tidbits from weddings by SocialitesI think its read worthy. Pretty straightforward- I’m a wedding planner and I write about weddings. More on the humorous side I like to think. There’s also links to some of my wedding planner colleagues who I think are on top of their game and links to my Real weddings. Please visit!
I am a fan of Kelly’s site (Tidbits by Weddings by Socialites). She really does go out of her way to keep it updated, contemporary and fun. It’s a great read for all brides!
For those people who are a little overwhelmed by modern-day wedding practices and rituals….this new one adds some levity

I like what this blogger has to say, agrees with my philosophy:

It was great to find your site today and land on this topic. Our lifestyle section called What Junebug Loves became a blog just a few weeks ago, and thanks to the supportive folks who’ve linked to us from Style Me Pretty, the Wedding Bee and From I Will to I Do our traffic is threw the roof. We love them all and read them daily!

Hello Nina…
I just came across your editorial on wedding blogs. The company I work for, The Hidden Garden in Los Angeles, just started a blog. I know all about wedding flowers and décor but I am totally new to blogging. I’d appreciate all the help I can get with my new blog The Secret Life of Flowers – here’s the link: http://hiddengardenfloral.blogspot.com
I will look forward to hearing from you soon!
All my best,
Trisha
This isnt a blog, because like you have found there just aren’t that many out there.
This is just for wedding etiquette information.
Just finished the wedding part and got frustrated by the name change part! Then I came across http://www.namethatbride.com, which gathers all the forms you need and lets you print them out for free. Loved it!
I love Manolo for the Brides too! It’s been such a surprise that there are hardly any good sites out there.
Do check out a cute new site, NY Bridal Blog
Every time I tell friends what happened on our wedding day… they just cant believe it… (I got married the day when Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez came back to power after the coup).

Looking at blogs is great, but I love to look at wedding photography website to get ideas for weddings. One really nice one is http://www.dubnoffphoto.com
I just run into this website http://www.wholeblossoms.com where I got my wedding flowers customized. They have a Wedding in a Box section in which they customized my bouquet, bridesmaids bouquets, corsages, boutonnieres and centerpieces. I went to several wholesale flower sites where they have wedding in a Box packages with regular bulk flowers but the Wedding in a Box section of Whole Blossoms offers the possibility of having your flowers customized just the way you want them. I not only got the best prices among all the wholesale flower sites I visited but also I got one of Whole Blossoms florist to design my flowers and ship them to me at an amazing price. They import every flower you can imagine from flower growers and they’re able to pass on savings to brides. I ended up getting a great deal! They sell mainly large sized orders which is fine since I needed a lot for my wedding.
I have just started a blog for people looking for great ways to save money on wedding planning.

My wife runs a wedding blog called Style Me Pretty. It’s got pretty much everything but I think it is an especially good resource for brides looking for unique ways to style their wedding. Take a look.
http://www.stylemepretty.com
We have a terrific section on our website full of articles related to weddings, videography, photography, etc. Stop by and give it a read.
We frequently run across helpful blog posts nestled within the contents of the hundreds that are active online. Our favorite topics are those relating to what the bride and groom can include during their reception to incorporate relevant, and fun things for their guests to experience that reflects their (the bride and groom’s) personal style.
There’s a great blog I read pretty regularly for wedding inspiration and tips. It’s Let’s Party with Percy Sales Events
