Friday Round-up : a vendor guide, wedding sales, wine & foldable shoes - plus, the top re-pinned posts of the week

Well, another week is coming to a close and I have so many wonderful things to share with you today.

First up is that a vendor guide is now in the soft launch phase on the blog. I'm beyond thrilled about this addition. Basically, the directory from BestWeddingSites.com will be moving over here so you will find all of your wedding planning needs and inspiration in one site. I've got some fun things planned for the future of BestWeddingSites.com - but more on that to come another time.

The all new and ever growing Wedding Vendors I ♥™ Guide currently features wedding favors and handmade weddings {plus, if you check it out, you might even spy the new tagline I now have... can you find it?}.

For Vendors: thru Monday February 18, 2013 at 11:59 pm est - if you contact me to find out more details on how you can reach my brides and purchase a listing, you will . . .

*** receive $14 off the already great yearly rates ***

{the $14 off is in celebration of not only launching the guide on the 14th, but because the 14th marks my 12 years of being online in the wedding industry}. Simply email me at bestweddingsites{at}gmail{dot}com

And, now it's time for some shopping and saving $ - there's several great sales going on this weekend that I wanted to share with you, along with some hot wedding items . . .
