often we are asked by brides “where did they find that?”… and the majority of searching and finding happens on wedding inspiration blog sites. i found a poster that states “i love you, blogs and coffee” and while mike has to literally tear me away from my mac to sleep, wedding inspiration blogs continue to inspire me to find beauty and light and uniqueness … while our little daisy is recovering from pneumonia after swine flu and screen time has been limited to the laptop in the lounge whilst watching mamma mia … here are a few of my faves …
polka dot bride rocks…from inspiration boards to real weddings to snapshot sundays to competitions that are huuuuuge…a daily check is required for savvy brides…(and we have been featured woo-hoo!)
i do it yourself is pure inspiration for the diy bride…from invitations to table decorations and everything in between…also beautiful inspiration boards with colour coding included…(oh, and we have been featured on here too!)
vintage glam weddings has been a favourite for such a long time…the vintage look is so in at the moment and this blog previews glamour and fashion and ideas and the most incredible real life weddings with amazing photography from across the globe (pssst…thrilled to be featured on this blog by the way
)

west aussie bride is a local blog i found through polka dot bride (this is how the addiction begins) … writing daily about her search for creating a “fun, fussfree, styling wedding that wont leave us bankrupt” … best bits are the totally individual gowns she finds in her search for her wedding dress … only six months to go until her wedding, its very addictive reading how everything is falling into place … i gasped when this image greeted me with my first coffee for the morning… (and squealed when we were featured on here)
elizabeth anne designs features real life weddings, invitations and a virtual treasure trove library of vendors - shame most are located overseas,(except us - we are in the library for that destination wedding just around the corner) but still - beautiful images and a bucket load of ideas to boot…
grey likes weddings is another eye candy site… summer is a floral and wedding designer and consultant and is hooked on all the pretty things that are packed into a wedding day … she continues to discover and and share the best ideas and showcases them on her blog daily…(would so love to be featured on this site…sigh…)

my all time favourite and the site that has me glued to the screen with disbelief at the perfect beauty that is in front of me is kiss the groom … elizabeth messina is one of my idol photographers - her work is divine and inspiring and amazing and i wish i could travel to paris and join her workshop next month … elizabeth also posts poetry and readings that are the answer to your wedding vows and readings … visit once and you will be hooked …
