Since a lot of couples get engaged at Christmas, it’s no surprise that a lot of couples wed during December. December is a great time to have a wedding. The month is already so magical because of Christmas and the onset of winter. A holiday wedding just adds to the celebration. Best of all about…

Don’t Like To Dance?
Offbeat Bride, my favorite site for wedding photos with personality, has a new article about a dancing-free reception. A bride-to-be with no interest in required dancing on her big day asks what she can do as an alternative. Offbeat bride has a bunch of fun suggestions, starting with: First off, the easiest way to avoid the…
Wedding Planning Checklist
Jen Carter, owner of My Wedding Blog, offers a free wedding planning checklist to help you to plan a wedding. The handy planner covers everything between the wedding day back to what you should be doing nine to twelve months in advance (that’s when you announce the engagement and pick a date). The checklist suggests…
Sample Sale Dresses
The girls at WeddingBee (did I mention how awesome WeddingBee is?) tipped me off to the Kate Spade sample sale. I’m more into Kate Spade purses than wedding gowns, but you can’t say no to 60% off gorgeous designer wear! The sale runs November 13-17th.

How Do You Spend The Holidays
Miss Jasmine at WeddingBee has a good post up about dividing the holidays between your family and your intended’s family.

But our favorite holiday, Thanksgiving, is celebrated by…
No Kids Allowed
Miss Annapolis of DC Nearlyweds is having a child-free wedding, and seems to be sick of explaining to her relations and future in-laws why little Timmy and little Jenny can’t go to the open-bar, formal event. One reason stuck out in my mind: Adults should be able to see aunt Sarah fall off her chair…
New Rules For Brides
I saw this one on Once Upon Your Wedding, and laughed hysterically. These aren’t etiquette rules for the perfect seating chart or the ideal reception line. For example: New Rule: Stop lying to yourself saying you’re going to lose weight in order to fit into that dress. Wedding planning is stressful. When we get stressed, we eat….
Don’t Be That Bride!
Don’t Be That Bride! is a hilarious look at Bridezilla behaviors. The blogger gets awesome questions, like What Gift Do I Bring To A Shotgun Wedding? and Do I Have To Do A Choreographed Dance To ‘Thiller’ If The Bride Says To? The whole point of my blog has been to pinpoint behavior of brides-to-be that are, well, unflattering. One…
