Get Great Ideas Online!

When you first meet your wedding planner, it’s good to come with some general ideas about how you want your big day to look. Here are
some websites we here at It’s A Bridal Thing think will help get you started!

Want to see how Jessica Alba, Carrie Underwood or Gwen Stefani looked on their big day? Take a look at

In Style Weddings. They have their Best Dressed Celebrity Brides list which includes people like Elizabeth Taylor, Princess Diana and
Katie Holmes. They also have great galleries of wedding cakes and
floral arrangements organized by color!

The Brides.com Idea Gallery is another great resource! In addition to having wedding cake and floral galleries, they have galleries for Stationary and Invitations, Wedding Favors and Food and Drinks!

A Wedding Sketchbook is a blog by Michelle Mospens. She details her thoughts on unique
wedding invitation ideas, how to make the most out of an engagement
photo shoot and backyard wedding reception ideas. Our favorite part of
her site is her Wedding Color Trends for 2011 Part 1 and Part 2.
Some of Michelle’s picks for 2011 wedding colors? Amazon Green, Oyster
Gray, Mauve, Celadon, Violet Purple and Clementine Orange!

Want something to help you put all of these ideas together for when you meet with your planner? Try The Knot.Com’s Wedding Inspiration Boards. All you do is choose the template you like best, add images(either
from The Knot’s website or your own photos) and save and share. Tons
better than Post-It-Notes in all of those bridal magazines you’ve
bought!

Here are a few non-planning websites that we want to share.

My Wedding.com allows you to make a wedding website, with all the bells and whistles for
FREE. They offer beautiful design templates, photo galleries and you can
even add music!
