Generation de Inspiration - About My Blog

As I mentioned in an earlier post, this blog was inspired by the blogs of Monica Rae, a Wisconsin wedding vendor, and Darci, a fellow Wisconsin blog. I have since become hooked on Darci's blog, and am doing all I can not to totally copy her style, which is so tempting since she is fantastic!

But one of my requirements for anything related to Carlos' and my wedding, and subsequent marriage, is that it remain true to our style. So, although there may be some similarities, I'm confident that as I continue to be inspired by a variety of sources, and as our wedding comes together, my blog will become as unique as our wedding.

One major difference between Darci and me at the moment is that she blogs daily! That girl is hardcore! I think I might be able to work up to daily posts the more I get into this, but be prepared to see some slack (during the week, especially), followed by multiple posts in one session. I'm also known for long posts (see my other blogs). However, this is a utilitarian blog designed to be a reference for others pursuing wedded bliss, and not just my personal musings on life's little ventures. Therefore, I'll try to keep my posts on the brief side with consistent labels for better search results.

That, of course, means that I have to wrap up this post and head to the next one. But, before I leave, I want to encourage any kind of feedback. Darci's blog started out as a way to stay connected with distant family and friends throughout her planning process, which is one major result I'd like to see come out of my own blog. Her blog also turned into a wonderful resource and forum for other brides seeking inspiration for their own planning process. If my blog acts as an idea generator for other brides, or if there's something in particular that you'd like to see posted on my blog, please feel free to contact me!

So, I guess the moral of this post is, whether you're close family or friends or an equally smittened bride-to-be looking for a connection with others in the throes of love, please feel free to leave your comments. I'd love to hear from you!

And no matter what you do, check out Darci's blog . . . she's even got contests! That lady's my bridal hero! Cheers!
