140 Best Wedding Blogs for Big Day Inspiration For Every Couple
140 Best Wedding Blogs for Big Day Inspiration For Every Couple
via
As you might remember, a few weeks back we began a bit of a personal mission to help bring more diversity to the wedding industry.
We also shared some wise words from one of our fave (and most inspiring wedding bloggers) Nova of Nu Bride.
And over the last few weeks, same sex marriage has become legal in Ireland and the United States, with more countries looking set to follow suit. (To say we're elated, is an understatement!)
And so, as promised we've decided to share our very favourite wedding blogs for EVERY kind of couple.

Not all wedding blogs are the same.
While yes, most have real weddings and styled shoots, many have bridal collections and DIY tutorials, and all have a serious obsession with all things weddings, each one has its own unique spin on helping you create your best day ever.
Whether it's an aesthetic for fine art or for fun, or a niche for reaching out to a particular kind of couple or a certain kind of wedding, each one can give you and your other half fresh ideas and insightful inspiration.
So we encourage straight couples to borrow ideas from same sex weddings, Irish couples to take colour palette looks from Indian weddings, and modern city couples to check out rustic bashes for flowers and decor inspiration - you never know what you might discover!

Our Guide to Wedding Blogs for Every Kind of Couple, And Every Kind of Wedding
While it's impossible to fit every awesome wedding blog on the list (we had to stop at about 140!) we reckon every single couple will find something in here that will suit their kind of celebration, regardless of their skin colour, nationality, sexual orientation, shape, class or style.
From blogs for quick bites of inspiration, to the kind of ones we could gush over for hours, and the honest, the practical and the budget friendly blogs, to the ones that are downright offbeat, wild and whimsical, it's all among our favourites below.
And if your fave wedding blog isn't on the list (or if you write a blog you'd love to share!) please leave the link in the comments below, so we (and the wonderful BM readers) can check it out.
