Ten Days of Craftsmas!

A couple of notes for you all: First, over on Somewhere Splendid, there is a new series of DIY projects called the Ten Days of Craftsmas, which launches today (just in time for the holiday season!). My friend Shauna of Shauna Younge Dessert Tables approached me with this crazy idea two weeks before Thanksgiving, and [...]

Happy Thanksgiving!

We’ve still got one more post left for the week, but I wanted to just pop in early to let everyone know that I’ll be out of town for Thanksgiving. There will still be posts on the blog, but I will not be answering emails (or, if I do, it will be rarely). That’s right, [...]

IB (Almost) Turns Two!

I can’t believe I’m actually about to say this, but the Inspired Bride is nearly two. Two years. On New Year’s Day, I will have been working on this blog for two years. Okay, so that may not sound like a lot, but when I started IB I had no idea that one, it would [...]

On Somewhere Splendid: A Shoot from Our Labor of Love + Amy Osaba

Just popping into give you all a heads up about a couple of gorgeous features on Somewhere Splendid from Heidi of Our Labor of Love and Amy Osaba, two of my favorites on the wedding scene! They were kind enough to let me feature it over there, but I think they’re both great inspiration for [...]

Starting Off With a Bang!

This weekend was splendid, full of good news left and right. For the record: I am not pregnant. Breathe easy, Jess. No, there are no babies on the horizon – unless you count my newest “baby” that was “born” today. That’s right, the blog I’ve been hinting about for a while now has finally launched. [...]

Nonpareil Magazine Issue 6 is Out!

Miss me today? Sorry about that – my new Nonpareil Magazine partner, Jess from Budget Savvy Bride, and I have been incredibly busy getting our first issue out together (the sixth of the magazine overall). Kristen left some pretty big shoes to fill (I know coding, but she’s crazy good at it!) so it took [...]

Sick.

Hello all – Sorry it’s been so quiet around here lately. I’ve been really sick since Tuesday evening and I’m finally starting to get over it. Anything that I hadn’t scheduled prior to that I didn’t have the opportunity to get up, so I apologize to the contributors who sent me things I wasn’t able [...]

Changes to the Inspired Bride

Hello everyone, I wanted to let you all know of some changes happening to the Inspired Bride effective next week. In addition to our new contributing writers‘ posts beginning, the Inspired Bride is now going to begin accepting sponsored posts in two forms: sponsored giveaways, and sponsor profiles. This was a really hard decision for [...]
