Wednesday: What Inspires Me?

Similar to Etsy Monday, I am going to start a new tradition on Wednesdays that I am calling, What Inspires Me Wednesday. These postings will highlight people, places and things that inspires me in my life as a wife & mother and wedding/event planner.

This first post will be my favorite Websites and Blogs.

The first part of my mornings, once my boys are off to school, I turn on my laptop and after checking my email, I visit about 20-50 sites in a span of an hour (I limit myself to 60 minutes, otherwise I could spend all day researching).

These sites provide endless amounts of ideas that I incorporate into my weddings & events to help clients have the perfect event (and most importantly within their budget). Each site provides unique tips and tricks and create ideas for future events.

Here is a list of my favorites:
