Getting ready to pop the big question Christmas Day?
It never hurts to start planning ahead of schedule – after all, a wedding can be an enormous undertaking that involves both of you. Rather than scour Google for some hit-and-miss resources, we’ve compiled what we feel are the most innovative, credible and full-range wedding planning websites on the ‘net.
- The Knot
A giant resource for pretty much everything wedding, “The Knot” is a great starting place to gather reception ideas, wardrobe, hairstyles, accessories, photography – you name it. This should be your first stop. - Wedding Mapper
Have guest from out of town, and a couple of locations planned for your day? Build a custom, shareable map that you can simply email, without confusing Uncle Frank or Aunt Ruth. - Wedding Paper Divas
While much of your communication will be done online, to save cost and bring the immediacy of the ‘net to your advantage – nothing says “class” more than a proper, wedding invitation. A tangible invitation is simply more personal, and won’t get caught in your guests “junk” folder. - Beaucoup
Looking for unique wedding and bridal shower favours? Beaucoup has an inventory like no other - Cabel on Wedding Design
Ok, not quite a resource for everything wedding, but a fascinating write up about how self-professed “geeks” decide to take a left turn on their wedding design. Beautiful! - Brides.com
A runner-up to the more established “the knot”, brides.com has great wedding dresses and planning ideas. - Wedding Bee
Follow the blogging activity of 20 real brides spread across the world, sharing ideas, diy projects, research, and their personal wedding stories. - Offbeat Bride
Planning something a little more for you, and a little less for mom? Follow these couples as they shirk tradition and do their day their own way. - Something Old, Something New
Join Mackenzie Sala as she reports on products and inspiration for modern weddings - How About Orange?
Feeling a little crafty? Take a look at some of the great projects planned on the “How About Orange” blog. - Etsy
No list would be complete without the handmade artistry of the Etsy catalogue. Make your day special with a low-run, artist-produced special little something.
