If you get a chance check out the new Offbeat Bride redesign. It looks great! Also, there are some great articles about super awesome wedding shoes. I am completely in love with these:

You can also sign up to be part of one of the two social networking sites Offbeat Bride Tribe and Offbeat Groom. It’s a great place to get ideas and to connect with others.

Being a bride and planning a wedding doesn’t mean that you have to spend a fortune. After all, it’s about the love, right? Here are some great sites if you’re looking for ideas that will save you a bit of cash and help you plan a wedding that is uniquely you!

The Budget Savvy Bride

A Practical Wedding

Snippet and Ink

Etsy Wedding: Offbeat finds for the eclectic bride.

I randomly came across this site today, so cool! Check out Rock ‘N Role Bride!

Also, stay tuned for a special announcement in the next few days. I am really exited about it!

Here are two more great wedding websites I recently came across. Check them out if you get the chance!

A Practical Wedding *There is a great advice article on there today*

Style Me Pretty

There are a LOT of wedding websites out there but I have two that are my absolute favorite. The first one is  Offbeat Bride and their “wedding porn”:

I like that Offbeat Bride addresses some things about weddings like, “What should a Best Woman wear?” and “Non-sappy Father/Daughter dance songs.” as well as an entire section of advise on stuff you probably never knew you had to think about in the first place!  There is a veritable buffet of gorgeous, fun-colored wedding dresses, unique accessories, fun favor ideas and more. It’s such a great site, one that I really hope to be featured in the future. If you are trying to plan a very personal and unique wedding this site is great for you!

Another site I love is  Tattooed Bride:

I’m a huge fan of the art of tattoos and I love that these women aren’t afraid to show them off.

Both websites are a huge inspiration to me. I would love love love to photograph some fun and funky weddings as well as more tattooed brides in the future! Are you an Offbeat Bride or a Tattooed Bride-to-Be? Send me an email at laurie@laurieapplebyphotography.com, perhaps we can work out a deal

P.S. Click on the photo to check out more work from the photographers that took them.

I came across these photos on Akward Family Photos. Future clients of Laurie Appleby Photography can breathe easily,  I am not planning on adding anything like this to the repertoire any time soon ever!

Hopefully they aren’t planning on joining this couple on their honeymoon! I think “awkward” sums this up pretty well!
