PLANNING TOOLS
Dan Rents Tents
Just the absolutely greatest tool for putting together a floor plan of your decorating, table arrangements, seating, etc. It helped me immensely in planning my reception "flow".
Old Farmer's Almanac
Allows you to see what the weather was like in a particular area on any day; records as far back as 1973.
HEALTH AND BEAUTY
MAC Cosmetics Bridal DIY Guide
With tutorials and color matching, this website is extremely helpful when planning your bridal day makeup.
FLORAL SUPPLIES
FreshRoses.com
Where we've ordered our flowers... a wholesale company in Watsonville, CA (about 20 minutes from us).
Marisol Blooms
Honestly, if I had known about this company before I had already placed my order with Fresh Roses (see above) I would have done it here. They have a much wider variety of roses and some other specialty items.
Martha's Flowers
Order bunches of single types of flowers, or pre-made bouquets/centerpieces from America's Domestic Goddess, Martha Stewart.
Crystal Stems
Ideas for bouquet
accents.
AFloral.com
A great resource for floral
supplies like specialty bouquet holders and thorn
strippers.
STATIONARY, ETC.
Rose Petal Gift Bags
The gift bags that we
used for the guy's mugs.
Sunshine
Candle Company
A local company. Inspiration for our guestbook
cover.
DECORATIONS
ShindigZ
I ordered the silver gossamer from
ShindigZ. It was more sheer than I had hoped, so it was
unusable as the tablecloth material I originally bought it for
but it ended up making a wonderful "scrunched" table
runner.

HUMOR
Esquire's Things a Man Should Know About Marriage
I laugh so hard I cry.
Wedding Etiquette Hell
So scary it's funny. You just have to read and say, "What the hell were they thinking?"
And The Bride Wore
Hideous bridal fashions, organized and served for your enjoyment.
Going Bridal
Sarah put together a hilariously funny personal journal dealing with the planning of her wedding, with wicked sarcastic takes on the whole wedding planning business as well as the wedding industry in general. I'm so glad this was pointed out to me one day, because I think I would have gone crazy without her. See also her friend's Flaming Bridezilla Bridal Shower Cake!
BLOGS AND SUCH
WeddingPlans Livejournal
These ladies (and guys!) are the absolute greatest wedding planning resource that I had at my disposal. I really appreciated every scrap of advice and input that I culled from their collective brains. Truly, it's worth getting an LJ account just to join them!
Internet Persona
Journal of a recently married bride (and now mother!) that manages to have me rolling with laughter and drowning in tears at the same time. Her entry about meeting her now-husband for the first time (they also met on the internet) is particularily moving to me.
