Style Me Pretty
Are you a fan of a Mood Board? Maybe you don’t want to get lost in the shuffle of Pinterest. Then we recommend Style Me Pretty. This site allows you to coordinate the look and feel of your wedding based on criteria such as the colors you are choosing and the season in which you are having your wedding. They also have a “style” section, which is essentially a section of themes. Do you want the perfect romantic wedding? Maybe you are hoping for a more rustic occasion. Either way, Style Me Pretty has got you covered. Style Me Pretty also offers links to help you find the perfect bridesmaid dresses, or an engagement ring (if you’re still waiting on one of those).
Love & Lavender
They aren’t for everyone, but theme weddings are increasing in popularity. If you decide a theme wedding is for you, then take a peek at Love & Lavender. While not exclusively about theme weddings, Love & Lavender gives you ideas for the most magical weddings possible. One of the more unique offerings of Love & Lavender is their emphasis on stationary. A great wedding starts with the invitations. They even offer suggestions for themed stationery (the Halloween Wedding stationery is adorable). Love & Lavender also features gift guides that will carry you well into your marriage with gifts for those big anniversaries.

The Knot
If you are looking for a more universal resource, then we suggest The Knot. The Knot is an all-encompassing site that will help you get hitched without any hiccups. One thing that The Knot offers that few other resources do is a financial section. They allow you to budget your wedding through their site to make sure your big day isn’t a big drain on your wallet. The Knot also offers checklists to make sure you didn’t forget any crucial detail before you walk down the aisle.
Etsy
The DIY movement is going strong, and no place is that more evident than Etsy. For those of you who aren’t familiar with Etsy, it is your one-stop-shop for unique, handmade goods. Etsy even has its own Wedding section. You can get jewelry, accessories, invitations, mementos, and so much more. Another thing that has come to prominence on Etsy is vintage clothing. If you are looking for the perfect vintage dress for your walk down the aisle, then you definitely want to give Etsy a chance.
Wedding Registry 101
It is tempting to run through Target or Pottery Barn adding EVERYTHING to your wedding registry. There are so many things you want, and oh so many things you need, but this can become exhausting to your wedding guests. There are also those items that have become registry staples that, frankly, aren’t that useful (are you really going to use that fondue set). This guide, put together by Harper’s Bazaar, will help you craft a registry that will get you what you want, and keep your guests from feeling they have to spend a fortune.
