One of the side effects of a bride-driven business is that sometimes the groom gets forgotten. I know of some grooms that are happy with smaller roles in weddings, but that doesn’t always apply to every guy out there. But where do these involved guys go for advice? Let’s face it, 99 percent of the [...]

Okay, so this is a slight cheater post. I say slight because I have blogged about this gal before, but it was way back in December when I had one reader…myself. So my second stop on the Bellingham Farmers Market tour brought me back to my favorite cupcake lady (and I say favorite because she’s [...]

The Bellingham Farmers Market is my absolute favorite market to visit, and it’s open for eight months out of the year. So, for those four months it’s closed, I get to wait patiently anxiously. My Saturdays are pretty full these days, so it wasn’t until last weekend that we were able to go. And when we [...]

There is a reigning champion when it comes to Seattle-area local boards. Sure Project Wedding has a few Seattle posters, and I’m sure there are a few boards out there I’m not aware of, but mostly…it’s been The Knot. I’ve recently jumped back on that board because my usual wedding haunt had no local feature. Today, [...]

I’m often amazed at the chain reactions that lead me places. I was searching for Seattle wedding websites and found Junebug Weddings, which had a link to Weddingbee on their blogroll, which had brides blogging about something called Etsy. Curiosity and a few clicks later, I found out what the buzz was all about. My first [...]

One of my favorite websites for dispelling urban myths and legends is Snopes. It seems to cover every subject from Disney to AOL (no you won’t get money for forwarding this), so I guess it should be no surprise that there’s a section of it’s main page devoted to weddings.
If you’re looking for true urban [...]

As if there weren’t enough reasons to love Weddingbee, they’ve gone and added a new feature. May I present the Weddingbee Wiki.
For those who are new to it, a wiki (originally wikiwiki, but you know…we like to save time) is….in a nutshell…a free, online encyclopedia that readers can edit. Some are broad encompassing all topics and some are [...]

I’m always on the lookout for a great wedding series. Today I stumbled across Man With a Wedding Plan, a blog series written by Arts & Life intern, Jesse. He’s a guy whose fiancée is living overseas, and he has to plan his Toronto-area wedding in five months, and of course, with a limited budget.
Posts so far include tuxedos, invitations [...]

I love Craig’s List. In fact I might dedicate an entire post to it. But for now, I thought I would share something I found on there today.
“Introducing Borrowed Bridal, a frugal bride’s dream come true.
The idea is simple but amazing. We have a collection of wedding/party supplies from private functions we have held over the [...]

Word of mouth is the greatest advertisement, but when you don’t know many other brides and grooms, it’s hard to see what someone has said about a photographer you’re looking at or a wedding coordinator you want to interview. This is where Project Wedding can help. Many brides will use the Knot to rate their [...]
