So I’ve spent a lot of time doing research for the wedding. Our abundance of time gives me the luxury to sit and find the things that I really want and take my time to find the best deals. Any wedding where you have to stick to a budget, you have to make sure you’re getting the best offers. So here are some great websites you might want to look into-

Etsy- I have found this website to be an amazing resource. From custom made jewelry to wedding invitations, wedding pillows, veils, garters, , people sell their services at bargain prices. I bought the most fantastic hair accessory courtesy of Brendasbridalveils that should be arriving any day now. Talk to the people whose pieces you like and ask them for custom pieces. They are happy to help and can create virtually anything you want!

TheKnot- Always a fantastic resource for information. The Knot lets you create a personal website for your wedding that lets guests come check on information and learn more about the couple. They cover every topic you could ever question. Cake design, invitations, local resources for your wedding city, photographers, bridesmaids, centerpieces, dresses, flowers, decor, colors, EVERYTHING. This site is a fantastic resource for doing your pre-shopping research. It’s one stop shopping. Print out pictures and keep a folder of all the things you like. This way you have solid photos to represent your style and taste when you go visit vendors. 

Magnetstreet- Another fantastic resource for save-the-dates, invitations, place cards, favor cards, table numbers, basically any stationary needs for your big day. You can even design your save the dates and invitations with personal photos of you and your fiance. I chose a magnet save the date that I customized with 4 photos from the different years my fiance and I dated. The more you order the less they charge per piece, so it’s still very economical for large and small orders. 

WeddingDesigner- This site is for all your random wedding needs. Cake toppers, candles, cake serving sets, toasting sets, guest books, and any other little detail you might not immediately think about. In honor of my fiance’s first love of motorcycles, I found this which shall grace our cake. I just need to get the designer to make the girl with brown hair and it will be perfect! Just a silly detail but I’m totally excited about it. 

So these are some of my little secrets that I’ve found. I hope they help! Let me know if you’ve used any of these sites and what you think about them. I’ll post more as I find them! Feel free to leave your favorites as well!
