Seems like everyone knows someone who is getting married~ so here are just a few blogs that I frequent for inspiration.

AustinWeddingBlog I read this one since we wanted our wedding in Austin, We heart Austin! The culture, the mood, the food trucks, and all the things to do there~ but we settled for Dallas.

Weddingchicks is a regularly updated blog that show cases vendors and real weddings. They also provide free templates for the DIY bride.

Bridalsnob is good if you're a visual bride or illiterate.

DIYBride for the obviously DIY bride. (What I'm aspiring to be)

Cost Helper tells you what others pay for their wedding.

Eggs, Bread, and a Wedding Dress

Its no secret the wedding is a multi billion dollar industry. So it makes sense that everyone is trying to get their piece. Now what does every woman think of first when it comes to weddings? The dress. Maybe after the ring. And what kind of wedding dresses specifically? Vera Wang, and she has been tapping into the mass market through retailers like Kohl's, and now shes just revealed a more affordable line at David's Bridal. But when you think affordable you don't think of Vera. Well you probably don't think of the next retailer as affordable either but more economical? Costco. Yup, Costco got wedding dresses. They run 700-1400 which is not bad if you want a one stop shop for your wedding. Dress, check, rings, check, flowers, check, hors d'oeuvre, check. Oh and don't forget the honeymoon package! Imagine the cash you'd get back if you had the Costco Amex card
