Sorry everyone that I’ve been so MIA this week. I actually couldn’t log into the blog for a few days, I was having some issues. Anyway, today I bring you another site dedicated to bringing together wedding blogs, Wedding Blog Awards. I have been following this blog for sometime since it’s a great place to find new reads so I was thrilled today when Abby emailed me to say that The Unbride was selected as “Most Inspirational Blog”. Yay!
We are dedicated to finding and promoting valuable wedding blogs; be they bride blogs, groom blogs, or wedding vendor blogs. We’re not picky.
With new blogs coming online every second, we understand there are too many blogs to pay attention to and some blogs don’t even deserve our attention. So our goal is to make sure the wedding blogs that are worthy of your time will be displayed here at http://www.WeddingBlogAwards.com
There are hundreds of wedding planning sites out there and thousands of individual wedding vendors sites. Some of them focus on great design and easy navigation while others include leading trend ideas. By selectively passing out awards we’re hoping to encourage valuable blogging and avoid all the junk so if you have a recommendation, please email us:
weddingblogawards [at] gmail [dot] com
Browse around, comment with your opinion of the blogs we’ve showcased, and let us know if there is anything else you’d like to see and we’ll do our best to bring out the best in wedding blogging.

Okay, all of you ladies in brideland are in for a real treat today. Fabulous photographer, Kim Calakoutis has put together an online magazine to inspire and educate brides as to the possibilities for their wedding day by putting together galleries of wedding images by category. It’s totally worth it to go browse around for some new ideas.
Kim Calakoutis created this magazine after her own wedding. Kim realized she was in a unique position to really help brides plan their weddings. Being a recent bride herself, she could relate to the challenges brides face. Her goal is to use the photographs she takes to help as a visual aid to hopefully save brides time and find interesting ideas.

Bride Blog – Bridal Cheek
Bridal Cheek is a blog for brides who are as quirky as the name implies. Brides who aren’t afraid to stray from tradition, break the rules, view life with a sense of humor, and who can accomplish all of this with a sense of style.
I’m a Seattle girl who fell in love with an Ohio boy. I’m a teacher working toward my graduate degree in history, aspiring fashionista, and historical fiction junkie. My fiancé is a web developer, and not only willingly involved in the planning of the wedding, but very tolerant of my admitted obsession.

Bride Blog – That Bride
Since Jenna a.k.a. That Bride has such a fantastic bio on her blog, I figured I’d just let her introduce herself. 🙂
My name is Jenna and I call my guy Swayzie (you know, for privacy reasons, and also because my grandma couldn’t remember his name and called him that once). We are an LDS couple (Mormon) and I from Washington state while he hails from Poland. He is a gorgeous European and I love listening for the hint of an accent he lets slip through when he isn’t paying close enough attention. The way he says “girlfriend” is just adorable. After we get married we will be living in Texas where he currently works as a consultant, and then who knows what will happen after that. Eventually we will end up in Poland. We’ve been together for almost a year now, and although we aren’t engaged yet we have set a date in October because I don’t want to deal with the unavailability of all my favorite vendors if I wait to start planning after he proposes later in the Summer.
We lived in the same building 2 years ago, and after we started dating last May we were only able to spend 2 short months together before he moved down to Dallas and I stayed in Utah to keep going to school. Long distance is the worst idea ever, but we don’t have any other choice right now (and I actually prefer it because I think it is speeding up the engagement process a little bit).
Swayzie is as far removed from the planning process as a groom can possibly be, and he and I are both okay with that. His ambivalence combined with my opinionated nature pair up very nicely together. I am picking out (basically purchasing) my own ring (a post to come on that very topic rather shortly) and pretty much only requiring him to propose, show up the day of and bring a few friends and family along.
My parents are funding this entire affair so they are highly involved with the planning process and their opinions mean a lot to me. They are even willing to do things a little differently (especially compared to the weddings that are usually planned by brides in my hometown).
As of right now the tentative plan is to get married in the Bellevue Temple on Friday. Won’t we look perfect in the place of that bride and groom to the left? (Photo by Derek Pearson) Only those with a temple recommend will be able to attend the ceremony so that guest list for this event will be rather small. We will then have a luncheon for all those who came to watch us get married and then Swayzie and I will be off to enjoy our first night as a married couple!
The next day we will wake up and enjoy the city (a time when I will desperately want to be wearing my dress and make everyone else dress up as well so we can wander all over the city and take pictures like the one to the right by MBK). Maybe we will get on a boat and enjoy Puget Sound a little bit, maybe we will visit a museum, or maybe I will make everyone wander around Pike’s Place. After a day exploring the city we will all have dinner together, do some toasting and cake cutting, and then have some kind of exciting getaway. I hope that the entire weekend can be an unforgettable experience for our guests (especially since we have people flying across the world to come!).
As if all that excitement weren’t enough, after spending a few days relaxing in Seattle we will get on a plane and fly across the world so that we can make our big debut in Poland as a married couple and most likely have a little ceremony there as well for his friends and family who couldn’t fly over. The best part of this plan is that after we are done in Poland we can have our honeymoon somewhere in Europe (we might as well, we will already be there). I am definitely an off-the-beaten-path kind of a girl, so there isn’t really any chance we will go any of the standard European honeymoon locations. I am leaving all of that planning up to him (although I am not above emailing him helpful hints every once in a while!)
So that is a little bit about me, my situation, and my wedding vision. Please feel free to introduce yourself, and if you EVER want to discuss something wedding related leave a comment or email me at jnicholea at gmail dot com. Ciao e Grazie!

If you want to read a really fun wedding blog with lots of cool and kinda funky ideas, you must check out It’s a Jaime Thing.
Recently finding an outlet to let my creative juices flow, I decided to finally begin my own blog. Hope you enjoy my findings, thoughts, dreams and creative plugs…into the life of a 29 year old woman who’s still trying to figure out what she “wants to be when she grows up”. Through life’s journey we find a fascinating road, but why not take the scenic route?! Hey I’m just Jaime…but if you understood you’d see a lot more!
