(more) things we heart… www edition

June 11, 2009

It’s been a while since I’ve shared a few tips/advice/references with you and I think we are more than due at this point. The truth is, there’s been very little to report on our personal lives because, well let’s face it, we have no social life these days! However, I have been immersed in the great world of weddings so I will take the time to share some more of fav vendors and websites with you (consult my last “things we love” post for others). Turns out there are so many that I’ve decided to make this a two-parter, starting with my web-loves. I’ll post my local, Montreal-loves a little later on.
(By the way, I feel the need to explain that I’m attaching links to “here” instead of the titles because I find the text color too light when it’s been linked… I have only your best interest at heart!)

-BLOGS-

I am addicted to blogs. I love writing this one and I follow about 20 blogs a day. No joke. It’s no secret that I absolutely adore Lake Jane; Marie-Eve is one of my summer brides and a good friend so I am a little biased, I’ll admit! Here are a few others that are great for inspiration, DIY ideas, and real weddings:
Veiled Vows here
Wedding Cabaret here
With This Ring here
Snippet & Ink here
Once Wed here
Style Me Pretty here
Accordions and Lace here
This one isn’t your traditional pretty-wedding-planning blog. Written anonymously by one of our summer brides (not so anonymously to us!), A&L’s entries are a longer read, but are witty and thought provoking. She provides a really interesting perspective on planning her wedding and I totally dig it.

-ETSY-

Etsy is so fab, it deserves a category of it’s own.
If you are been living under a cyber rock and haven’t already visited the website, I URGE you to run there immediately (I know it’s hard to run on the web, but you know what I mean). But make sure you have a lot of time on your hands because you will spend much of your day there, I guarantee it! Etsy is basically an indie version of Ebay, where vendors sell their handmade items, many customizable to fit your specifications. You can also find loads of awesome vintage stuff which, as you already know, I absolutely adore. My favorite things to search for are birdcage veils, fascinators and cake toppers, but you can even find wedding bands, ring pillows, stationary, garters, and wedding dresses, among many other things. A warning though: do use vendors with good feedback so you won’t be disappointed with the quality.

-STATIONARY-

I’ve fallen so in love with many online stationary shops that I’m debating having our wedding invites done by one of them… despite the fact that we used to do invitations and are therefore fully equipped to do our own… (this is how logical I am). By the way, I discovered all of these through the blogs I listed above. Oh and trust me, these are really worth a visit.
