#175: my faves.

so mrs. bee of weddingbee fame is recruiting fellow bloggers and posting their faves. as you all know, i'm not a wedding world veteran. my #1 priority is to dig up fantasmic DIY's and cheap, i mean economical gizmos. i'm not even close to being in the position to submit a list (videographer? don't know any because i could never hire one...)...but i think it'd be a kick to think about what i'd say if i thought about things this very moment. get it?

favorite sites/blogs for inspiration: all of my 'just can't get enough's.
favorite planning resources (books, magazines, websites): ditto above. haven't ventured to books and magazines yet!
favorite wedding dress designer: if i had the money, i'd get a claire pettibone. freaking a.
favorite bm dress designer: me! no, i don't design, but it'd be cool to make my maids' dresses.
favorite floral designer/floral inspiration: i don't mean to be a debbie downer but i've had to adopt the following. that a bouquet is a bouquet. is a bouquet. because flowers are definitely a wedding's best friend...but not when you're on a budget. i'll have to think outside the box to fulfill this fantasy!
favorite cake designer: i just want a simple white cake with strawberries. design/no design...i don't care. see what i mean about not being able to submit this thing? it's like blasphemy...
favorite photographer/blog: jessica claire...hands down.
favorite videographer: hm. don't know anyone.
favorite place to shop for shoes/shoe designer: for weddings? no idea. but the most fabulous pair of shoes i own are vera wang copper strap heels.
favorite places to buy fun supplies: costco?
favorite place to shop for wedding and/or wedding party gifts: haven't given this much thought yet. but i do love jewelry...and giving it...

yeah. i definitely fall short on knowing vendors and designers. but that's ok. i rely heavily on those who DO know...for inspiration!
