Wedding & Special Event Blogs - My Faves!

In the special events industry, we are always looking for the trendiest new everything - we need inspiration! Funny thing is, the brides and our clients are looking at the same thing, and with the incredible amount of info on the internet waves, brides get tons of great ideas, then it's the job of the industry professionals to bring it all together and make it all happen! Brides rarely know what all those great "looks" will cost them, though, so it is our job to also be an educator as well as someone who can help them prioritize. And remember what I always say - "trends = upsells"! Think about how every trend can translate into an upsell for your business or service.

I'm often asked about my favorite blogs, or where I think brides are getting all these wild and wonderful ideas. . . wow. . . there is no lack of great blogs, but here are a few of my "faves". . . I threw a few in that are not specifically for "inspirational looks", but also just great info for anyone in this field.
