Okay, so we all know that finding inspiration for your big day is going to take some time. With Pinterest, Instagram, wedding apps and Google, there are endless ways to find all the inspo you need. A quick search of wedding blogs will lead you down a long, long path of different sites swearing that they have what you are looking for. WELL, you know here at Blush Bridal we are always going above and beyond for our brides so we will list our absolute FAV wedding blogs (besides ours, of course)that will give you all the help and inspo you will need on this long, fun and amazing journey of planning YOUR WEDDING!!!!! EEEEEP!!!
We might be a tad biased, being voted Cincinnati’s Best on TheKnot, and with the Reading Bridal District being a huge hit on their site; this is our absolute FAV blog. The Knot literally owns the term “wedding” or “Bride” so get used to it. The Knot is your one-stop resource for everything, and by everything I seriously mean EVERYTHING. This blog features money advice, wedding ideas, themes and décor, style inspo, registries, wedding profiles, engagement ideas, planning checklists, budget templates, vision boards, I mean I could go on you guys but my hands are hurting so I will stop there and let you do the rest. The Knot will tell you the best shops, venues and vendors around you, and then lead you here for your dress so you should probably listen to them because they obviously have great advice. You should also use The Knot to make your wedding website, where people can RSVP, get all updates and information, and even get your registry right then and there. If it has anything to do with wedding or even babies, you will find it here.
This site is perfect for you DIY babes! Liiiike, if you are, you should probably bookmark this right now. As you read this. Have you done it yet? Okay, sweet. So not only does this website have a huge range of creative projects and ideas and inspo for your wedding, but it also has a huge online community where brides can buy or sell used wedding décor!!! And when we say used, it is used that one time where it sat on a table and wasn’t even touched. Like, uhm yes please and thank you!!!
Okay, so if you want wedding goals, just like go ahead and hop on over to Style Me Pretty and start to fall in love. This site has the prettiest weddings features, along with Pinterest-worthy tablescape ideas and finding that dream gown that, well, we look at even when we aren’t engaged yet(oops). Yes, obviously Blush is where you will find that dream gown but this site will for sure give you the perfect idea on what kind of dress you are thinking about. But seriously, this blog is something we all want to look at and dream of 24/7, so get ready.
The bohemian wedding trend is skyrocketing right now and we are SO here for it! If you are thinking of going the boho route, this is definitely a blog you need to bookmark on your page as #1. Call your mom, best friend, sister, her best friend and have them bookmark it too (and also have them follow Blush Bridal, of course).
Obviously, this brand is well known for it’s upscale, high profile weddings. SO, what better blog to read than this?! Not only does it feature celebrity weddings, but it also features those dream weddings we all want and see. They feature the wedding planners and photographers and there is so much substance on this blog that is worth the look. Martha Stewart Weddings is associated with some of the biggest names and brands, so we are so here for dabbling in her content every once in a while.
Not only is their social footprint huge, but also it is immensely approachable. By that, I mean that it is so much more personal, and emotional compared to all other wedding blogs. Take a look and you will see what I mean. The style of writing, the photos, it all centers on people and the meaning of it all so much more. To summarize, most successful bridal blogs are all about the details of the wedding, while Wedding Chicks brings their readers inspo, along with real, beautiful moments we all crave to see.
When you Google wedding blogs, for some reason this gets stuck in your head. It doesn’t have much of a click bait appeal, although you’re still curious. You probably wouldn’t click on it though, but I am hereto tell you to do so. CLICK IT WOMAN! This blog is SO worth the read, it’s actually completely necessary. This blog is alllllll about the things you don’t expect, and the abnormal situations that may or may not happen. This blog talks about the things that other blogs are scared to talk about. This blog features weddings to those who aren’t looking for your “traditional wedding”. This blog is for the readers who believe that there is no “right” way to throw a wedding. This blog is MAGIC. Even if your dream wedding is the traditional church wedding, please just give this a looksee.
This blog doesn’t have a certain feel, or look, or niche. This blog is everything – traditional, fun, airy, bright, and dramatic, anything and everything. It is a fun blog that is so flexible and easy to read. It is definitely an all around great site when it comes to needing inspiration, especially when you are all over the place and just need to see it all to really fall in love with what you want.
Love Inc. specializes in inclusivity, leading the way for more gender-neutral and inclusive language in the wedding space. The founder works with other wedding professionals and companies to further the mission, showing that most wedding traditions fail to work for a lot of engaged couples today. The blog also features a LGBTQ+ shop that features wedding accessories like mugs, t-shirts, cake toppers, décor and more! This blog is a safe space, and it features all the vendors that are also equally minded to Love Inc. to make sure everyone’s needs are catered! We love to see it!
If you are a planner, and need all the organizations and spreadsheets there is… go here. Now. This blog features spreadsheets for all things organization like logistics, overall checklist, timelines, vendor contact list, budgets, photography shot list, and more! They even offer a whole DIY workbook for those who want to tackle all the things on their own!
