Blogs, blogs, blogs

My obsession with blogging (both reading and writing) has extended as far back as middle school, when the only user-friendly blogging platform available was LiveJournal. Obviously, blogging has come a long way since then, and lately I've been experiencing a blogger's revival of some sort.

Here are a few of the blogs I've been obsessing over lately. Hopefully you'll find some inspiration in them too! (For more inspiring blogs, check out my Inspiring Reads page.)

Ruffled was hands-down the biggest source of inspiration for my wedding (unfortunately Pintrest came just a little too late!). They have tons of cute DIY weddings and ideas for the crafty, vintage-style lovers. One of the best things about it is its store, where you can shop for used items ranging from dresses to place cards to decor-- a must for cost-conscious brides who don't mind recycling a thing or two (and for those who were just married, you can sell items too... because really, what else are you going to do with 2 dozen mason jars?).

Hi-Fi Weddings just became a recent fave of mine. On it you'll find music-inspired weddings and shoots, not to mention ideas for that critical playlist. It's definitely a place for people searching for something outside of the top-40 realm.

The Picky Palatte

Take a break from wedding planning-- This recipe blog is a must for those of you who like simple, EASY, step-by-step instructions to making yummy food. Did I mention EASY? Jenny provides pictures to go along with each step in her recipes, making it really, really hard to mess things up. And yes, those are oreo-stuffed chocolate chip cookies. Amazing.
