Wedding Planning Help Plus a Blogging Break

Mother of the Bride, I’m not even planning a wedding and May is still so crazy busy for me that I’m going to take a blogging break the last half of this month. I’ll return with regular weekly posts on June 6th, but in the meantime I’ll leave with you some wedding planning help.

I hope you find these resources helpful over the next couple of weeks. Have fun looking through everything—and don’t forget to share the links (or all your favorite finds!) with your daughter!

Blogging Break Features My Favorite Wedding Pinners

8652412780_dce88a7c63_z

Hey Mothers of the Bride, I’m taking an extended Spring Break blogging break but will be back two weeks from today on March 28th. Sometimes I’m so busy over spring break that it’s much like that age old dilemma of needing a vacation to recover from vacation. So doggone it, I’m going to do it. I’m going to extend my blogging break to two weeks. Makes sense to me—and I’m sure it makes sense to you, too. MOBs know all about busy times!

In the meantime, I am going to leave you with some great help—links to my favorite Pinterest pinners of all things wedding (see links below.) I follow some of the wedding related boards of these folks myself on Pinterest, and I guarantee if you give them a look, you’ll find some amazing ideas. Why not give them a look?

And of course, if you haven’t checked out my wedding-related Pinterest boards, be sure to do that, too. I currently have eighteen boards pertaining to weddings as well as several personal interest boards. You might even find a few of those that interest you!

So MOB, Happy Spring Break to me and Happy Pinning to you! See you back here on March 28th!

More Wedding Planning Ideas on My Pinterest Page

8540213301_b3e1dd4e55_z*Since the readership of the Mother of the Bride Blog is ever-changing, here is an updated encore post I hope will be helpful to those of you who weren’t MOBs when I originally posted it in August 2013. Hope it helps!

Mothers of the Bride, did you realize I offer lots of wedding planning ideas on my Pinterest page?

In fact, my page on Pinterest is loaded with boards that will be of interest to MOBs. As of now, I’ve created eighteen wedding/bridal themed boards along with twenty boards of other personal interests of mine. On the wedding front, I offer everything from MOB dresses to bridal gowns to photography ideas to favors. There’s a little bit of everything.

Many of you may have started a wedding board on your own Pinterest page, but for those who haven’t, I highly recommend it. Pinning or repinning items that you’re drawn to is the perfect way to not only remember the ideas you love but also to track back to their source immediately.

I’d love for you to come over and take a look and follow some or all of my boards. After browsing the wedding section, you might even find you’re interested in some of my other boards. For example, one features chocolate. Yes, chocolate. Looking for my Pinterest button now, are you? It’s the red one at the top of the sidebar :)

Vacation Time for Me, Some Archive Help for You!

258014588_03d07c547a_zMother of the Bride, I’m taking a blogging break until August 3rd, but never fear—there’s plenty of help for you in my archives. I have nearly 200 posts ready and waiting for your use.

Just scroll down to the Archives, the last item on the right sidebar. Click on each year and then click on each month. When you click on the month, then you will see a list of the post titles. I bet you will spot some posts that will be especially helpful to you at this stage in your Mother of the Bride journey.

If you’d like, you can also find lots of great help over on my Pinterest page. Among other things, it features eighteen wedding-related boards. That should keep you busy for a while, huh?

So while I enjoy some vacation time, I hope you find just the help and encouragement you need, MOB. See you again on August 3rd!

Wedding Planning Ideas on My Pinterest Page

Mothers of the Bride, did you realize I offer lots of wedding planning ideas on my Pinterest page? It dawned on me that I’d never pointed that tidbit of info out in a post so I decided to rectify that oversight immediately. Good grief, huh?

My Pinterest page is, in fact, loaded with boards that will be of interest to MOBs. As of now, I’ve created sixteen wedding/bridal themed boards along with twelve boards of other personal interests of mine. On the wedding front, I offer everything from MOB dresses to bridal gowns to photography ideas to favors. There’s a little bit of everything.

Many of you may have started a wedding board on your own Pinterest page, but for those who haven’t, I highly recommend it. Pinning or repinning items that you’re drawn to is the perfect way to not only remember the ideas you love but also to track back to their source immediately.
