Kristeen is marrying Josh in November. In the thick of planning, here is some advice she offers to brides just starting out. . .
I get asked all the time how I keep my sanity in check while planning my upcoming wedding. No matter what stage of planning you’re at, the best tip I can give you is to regularly visit online wedding communities to get ideas of what others are doing.
Hands down, the best site I’ve come across is Project Wedding. With vendor reviews and photo galleries, the site is completely ad-free. Spamming vendors are not allowed.
The most useful section of the site is the message board, frequented by hundreds of brides-to-be. I’ve been posting since March and am still amazed at how supportive and inviting the other women are. Anytime I’ve had a question or just needed to vent about my family driving me crazy, the ladies of Project Wedding have always been there. My fiancé has gained from me posting as well – he even posted my 500th message as a thank you to the gang for keeping me so happy. Trust me ladies, the guys don’t care if your napkins are celadon or sage, but we brides do.
