Wedding Resources

After all the excitement of the engagement slowly faded (well I'm still super excited, but I've calmed down a little bit) the reality of all the planning that needed to be done started to sink in. Now don't get me wrong, that is part of the fun, but to be honest I'm not a list/schedule/ultimate planner type girl. One of the biggest differences between BFF and I is that he thrives off of these things. For example, he set up an online calendar for us to share, he enters gas mileage into a spread sheet that I'm expected to update as well, he makes grocery lists of all the sale items for that week, you get the picture. In the beginning of our relationship, we even used to have fights over my lack of planning skills. Teehehe. As much as I bug him about it, and as much as it makes me laugh, I LOVE him for it. My weakness is his strength, it's a good balance.

The Knot

So when I told David that there were things we needed to get done and figured out immediately, of course he asked me to write it down or provide a list for him. Here is where The Knot comes in. This wedding website has all sorts of amazing resources literally at your finger tips. With the click of a mouse you can make a budget, enter your guest list, make a checklist of things to do, create a website ... all for FREE after you make an account.

Martha Stewart Weddings

Of course everyone knows Ms. Martha has a plethora of beautifully designed ideas. From flowers to table settings, invitations to cake decorations, this website allows for maximum creative potential to incorporate at your own wedding. I love how it even provides free downloads for a variety of crafty templates. Martha Stewart weddings also provides "Planning Tools" as described above in the Knot.

BLOGS

There is a HUGE world of wedding blogs (some of which are listed on the side bar). All you have to do is type wedding blogs into Google and voila, you can search to your hearts content! 

These are just a few resources that I have found useful in the last few weeks and I'm sure I'll be adding a lot more as I continue planning for the big day.
