Brenda's Wedding Blog has a new home . . .
www.brendasweddingblog.com

I'm super excited about the launch of the new blog and what the future holds for both my visiting brides and wedding professionals.

Here's some of the new features already in place:
1. the wedding news blog is now part of this one (see top header for link on all pages)
2. there is now a press section to see where Brenda's Wedding Blog has been featured or mentioned

And, coming soon . . .
1. you will be able to rate inspiration boards and real weddings
2. vendor reviews

Please note: I'm still working on getting all the previous posts categorized into the newly organized list of categories - so you may see only a few posts appearing under a category, but there are definitely many more posts for you to see (somewhere over 300 posts total).

And, as always, you can email me with any wedding ideas or news. I have been receiving a large number of emails lately, so it may take a week or 2 before I'm able to reply. You can reach me at brenda{at}bestweddingsites{dot}com

Hope you like the new blog that is unfolding. Would love to hear your thoughts on it. I know it's not completely polished yet, but I just couldn't wait to move forward away from Blogger and get you started using the new blog. Be sure to come back tomorrow for a beautiful Real Wedding.

Yesterday was a bit of a long day for me, so I'm sorry for the short post today. My email program decided to stop working after I updated the system software on my MAC. I couldn't get to any of my emails until late in the day when I had finally finished importing them into another program and re-creating all my accounts. My apologies if you emailed me in the past few days and haven't received a reply yet. I promise to get back to you in the next few days.

For the winner of the Le Viette dessert towel, please be sure to email me before 5 pm EST today with your mailing address to claim your prize - brenda{at}bestweddingsites{dot}com

Now, for the fun stuff - here's two web site finds I think you will like.
1. Delightful Details: what a great way to add a unique touch to your wedding - they specialize in distinctive and charming keepsake signage - love the shabby chic style

2. The Cookie Sandwich Co.: these cookie sandwiches would be perfect for bridal shower luncheons and sweet dessert displays at receptions - they look soooo yummy

The girlfriends guide to a really BIG Dress

Nancy (of A Newport Affaire) emailed me over the weekend and I just had to share with you this video she has put together. It's so cute and clever.

A little bit about HOOPSkirt 101: Nancy has dedicated it to her next bride Jennifer who will be getting married in Newport RI next September. When Jennifer tried on a grand ball gown with a circumference 10 times her waist, Nancy wondered, "what would the logistics be for a gal wearing a dress that size"?

Enjoy the video . . .
