The funny thing about weddings is that, though there are countless traditions and types of weddings all over the world, there is also so much that we all have in common. Recently, Martha Stewart Weddings style department Editorial Coordinator Shira Savada introduced me to the polkadot bride blog. I was inspired by many ideas, despite their originating in Australia, so I've added it to my blog role. There's a fair amount of American vendors and products, and besides, any ideas they share you can recreate with local resources. If you have any other favorite blogs, let me know—I would love to check them out.






Snippet and Ink (snippetandink.blogspot.com/) has original and beautiful inspiration boards every day. Definitely worth the read!

I love Polkadot Bride! Such a great read!
I'm also particularly fond of Vintage Glam (vintageglamblog.com) and All Things Lovely (http://all-things-lovely.blogspot.com/).
And of course the must-reads like Elizabeth Anne Designs, Snippet and Ink, and The Bride's Cafe (and this blog, of course!).
I'm full of recommendations but those are my must-reads. Enjoy!

I have always loved Polkadot Bride! I have a fun Wedding Blog called My Island Wedding. We're based out of Long Island, NY, but discuss the "Island State of Mind..." of wedding planning.
Simple and fun.
Hope you come by and visit. We are finishing up a fantastic Inspiration Board contest. So many great entries. Voting begins this Saturday!
Feel free to follow along or leave a comment.
