If you're anything like me, you're much more into looking at the photos in magazines than reading the articles....especially when it comes to design and weddings. I'm always looking to see something new, something beautiful, something unique. For the past few years our only resource for those things have been magazines and blogs, but in case you haven't heard yet, there are a few new options for idea searching:
Pinterest (pinterest.com): the second love of my life, Pinterest is a collection of millions of online photos. Each photo (they feature photos of everything from travel to food, wedding ideas, and so much more) links to where it was found on the web, giving you a direct link to the actual resource--no more wondering where the photo came from. So for instance, when you see a photo of a new favor idea, you can click on it and find the instructions on how to make it. Once you've become a member (you can ask to become a member from the main page and wait a day or two to be accepted or get a friend to invite you and be accepted right away) you can arrange photos you like into inspiration boards and download an app which allows you to pin photos from the web. For wedding inspiration this is a FABULOUS resource and a great way to keep an online collection of your inspiration!
Wedding Gawker (weddinggawker.com): Wedding Gawker is a site I actually found through a Pinterest photo I clicked. It's basically pinterest for weddings only. I'm new to exploring the site, so I don't know everything about it, but I've spent hours viewing photos and getting inspired. I'm sure you will too.
If you know of additional new resources for wedding inspiration please comment below. It's great that the internet has now allowed us to inspire each other despite being thousands of miles apart.
Happy Planning!
