Images from Oh So Beautiful Paper

You know that feeling when you come across something so beautiful that goose bumps raise on your arms or you feel butterflies in your tummy? That’s how I felt when I found Oh So Beautiful Paper. This is the blog I subscribe to so I can “ohhhh” and “ahhhh” on a regular basis. It puts a smile on my face and inspires me constantly. It’s not a blog where you’re going to find all the wedding planning advice, support, and inspiration that you need while planning one of the biggest days of your life. BUT….and it’s a big BUT, it’s a blog that no bride-to-be should overlook. I’ve fallen in love with it, and I know you will too. I got tons of ideas for my stationery from this blog and continue to get ideas for my blog {hello, I’m wedding obsessed} on a regular basis.

The Pink Book Blog is another fabulous resource for brides especially if you live in a popular city, because there are individual blogs for over 15 cities! But the Pink Book Blog provides information for all brides on the latest trends. The Pink Ladies are even willing to answer all of your wedding-related questions.

How could I highlight wedding blogs for a month and not mention Style Me Pretty? It is one of the best. Abby and her husband, Tait, are adorable and seem to make a great team for this blog. She is the style guru and he is the tech guy – what a perfect match! Everyday Abby posts new real weddings for inspiration and she categorizes them, so they’re easily accessible to brides who are looking for DIY weddings, contemporary weddings, and more.

I love the DIY section and there is a new community section where brides can interact, ask questions, put together inspiration boards, and much more. Abby and Tait have put together an amazing resource for couples planning their wedding. If you haven’t checked out this wedding blog, I highly recommend that you do.
