Welcome to your source for unique wedding ideas and tips.
Looking for practical wedding ideas?
We’re glad you found us. And we hope you are too. Most sites or books that talk about wedding tips, wedding budgets, and general planning advice come at it from the point of view of a former bride, or a current bride-to-be. While these opinions are great for getting ideas and thinking creatively, they are not always PRACTICAL. Our aim is to provide insight from the other side of the negotiating table. The side that works INSIDE the wedding industry and can present a true insider's view to the tips and tricks that will help to make your planning efforts less stressful.
Our contributors and editors have been in the wedding services business for many years, and have all the insider secrets that will help you get the most out of your limitless ideas, but limited budget. Our focus is to provide practical suggestions that will fit into your budget without compromising on the elegance you desire. Whether you’re looking for cheap wedding invitations, discount party favors, or creative ideas for decorating at your reception, this is your source for finding the smoothest way to get there.
All of the categories you see on the left are organized in a way to make it easy for you to get more information on the ideas you’re looking for in just a few mouse clicks.
Each of our categories include:
- a section on background, tradition and etiquette
- buying tips
- tricks for the cheap
- endorsements
- things to watch for (and avoid)...we call 'em pitfalls
- and a miscellaneous category that catches any other practical suggestions that we may have missed!
Glamor on a budget!
We know it’s easy to be swept away with concepts that make “My Super Sweet 16” look like tea party, but we know that most of us don’t have bottomless bank account to throw at a wedding. And as a vendor in the wedding services business, we know how to help you make practical decisions about your spending and to arm you with the information you need to get the most out of your non-bottomless budget.
Just like great wedding ideas, our site keeps up with the times. We know some brides prefer a modern/trendy twist to their wedding ideas, just as others want to stay with a traditional/classic approach.
