I like the sites that offer

I know this is long, but I have ran across so many sites that seem good at first but don't offer everything a stressed bride needs.





I visit: Weddingchannel.com, mywedding.com and theknot.comWhat are you looking for in a Wedding Advice Website?
Frankly, I think what's most needed - and most rare in these sorts of sites - is genuine, educated etiquette advice. Many brides think it's a drag, and sites have to pander to their sponsors in order to bring in the cash, so they give really lousy advice that amounts to nothing more than ';It's YOUR DAY! Buy as much crap as possible or people will laugh at you!!!';





Frankly, I always snort at people who cite commercial websites (yes, this includes the knot) as their etiquette sources. You've GOT to be kidding me.
For me, it's not articles, it's PICTURES! I always go to theknot.com because they have so many galleries and I get inspiration from that. Pictures of centerpieces, bouquets, dresses, cakes, pictures by color, pictures by theme. The only articles I really got into were on invitation etiquette %26amp; wording, because i had no idea where to start.
When I go to a wedding website I am looking for the full spectrum of the wedding. Most sites specialize in one specific thing, or they dont consider that not all brides can spend tons of money. Something that makes you feel special. I think that theknot.com is helpful because it lets you use it to do the guest list, table setting, and you get a free wedding web page. I would absolutely love a site that had a whole bunch of wedding song ideas. I have yet to find one site that had a ton of great ideas for wedding songs. A special section for father/daughter, mother/son, first dance song ideas, songs for the reception in general etc. I love the opportunity to share idea, so I think a message board where you can ask questions is great especially when they are categorized. I also would love a site where you could get vendors for your city, the only problem is I live in Dayton Oh, a big city but not one of the biggest in ohio, so if i want to look for a vendor I can only get lists from cincinnati, cleveland, columbus. So that is basically what I am saying, I am looking for user freindly, specialize, full spectrum, lots of ideas, lots of how to guides, ideas for brides that can spend 100-1000000 dollars on a wedding.





Hope that helps!
When I go to wedding website im looking for unique ideas to bring into my wedding. Planning check lists, Links to photographers and Invitation card companies. Dress styles.


Things I need to know to do before my wedding date, and things i need to do on the wedding that a first time planner might not be aware of.


Suggestions, emergency items that i should keep handy.


budget planner, vows, poems,


Articles, wedtips, and advice on makeup, accomidations, appearal, favors and gifts, flowers decoy, cakes shoes, health beauty.





thats kinda thing.
I have been on a quest to find true budget-related articles/suggestions for planning a wedding...while I appreciate some of the cost cutting tips I have found- Y!A has been more of a resource than any of the wedding websites out there.





On the same token, I also use the various wedding pages for photos- to either confirm an idea or have me realize I am out of the ball park.





One area of advice I've found only here is dealing with some of the true family issues that arise during what is supposed to be a drama-free event. My case isn't so unique- my step dad and dad can't be in the same state let alone the same room...our money is tight and our ';dream wedding'; could get lost in it...and then there are the usual bridesmaids/maid of honor diva issues I would love to feel more prepared for...





The ';its your day...do whatever you want';...while true...is getting old- I would like some REAL answers.
i like hearing real answers from real people who've been in the same situation.
