I'm sorry ...To Meg Surly (not her real name), <br /><br />I'm sorry if my fiance and I are flooding our wedding with burlaps, mason jars, and DIY'd projects because I think those things represent who we are as a couple. I'm sorry if my dress will be tea-length because I'm not the kind of person who wears a sweetheart necklined-tube dress with 10 meters of train. I'm sorry if my bridesmaids will be wearing 50s balloon dresses because I found Gloria Romero, Bella Flores and Amalia Fuentes fashionable in their 1950s movies. I'm sorry if we chose to make a theme for our wedding even if we had to explain ourselves to others instead of getting ourselves eaten up by the "realistic wedding traditions" that you're talking about. We're not doing our wedding because we want to get featured by any wedding blog--and it's not the blog owners' fault if they appreciate weddings like what we have in mind more than weddings that please people like you. <br /><br />People have seen too many conventional, realistic weddings over the past generations. Don't you think it's time that more people learn to appreciate the not-so-typical? Wedding bloggers don't suck. Maybe you just missed seeing weddings that look like what your mom or grandma had back in the day and you hate the fact they didn't have bloggers to feature their weddings back then.<br /><br />thescrimpybridehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00464615032377155047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-960950248796737866.post-43149679968510148132012-02-09T08:22:07.294+08:002012-02-09T08:22:07.294+08:00i say to each his own! weddings are not about out...i say to each his own! weddings are not about outdoing one another. it's a celebration of love. it should be filled with joy and happiness that overflows from the couple. <br /><br />i had a unique, colorful and fun wedding and it was the perfect wedding for me and my husband. but i also think a simple solemn wedding is classy and it would be also perfect for another person.<br /><br />choosing the right wedding-theme/style is like choosing the right person to marry. just follow your heart and be happy.katnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-960950248796737866.post-58148780921257156102011-12-08T04:28:28.486+08:002011-12-08T04:28:28.486+08:00This is an interesting read. Although I would have...This is an interesting read. Although I would have to disagree on some of the points made in the article and at the same time agree to some of the opinions that Kai raised. 1. I don't think there is anything wrong with filtering wedding blog posts, for example Rebellious Bride would probably lean towards the weddings that are "out-of-the-norm, quirky, daring and beautifully "rebellious". That in itself is already "choosing" a certain look. 2. Other websites such as Bridalbook and W@W are not considered blogs but more of a one-stop resource website on everything weddings. They have to accommodate everything. Because thats really what they are. Anything and everything weddings. 3. Bridal blogs, just like photographers and brides have their own personalities and styles. You are so right in saying that a bride or a photographer can scout for a blog that also reflects who they are. Wedding blogs are personally written so somehow it is a reflection of the preferences and personalities of the people behind it. I believe ALL weddings are beautiful and ALL Brides are the most beautiful women on their big day, but as a blogger, I do feel more inclined to the pretty and whimsical. The weddings submitted to me that are more on the funky side are just as unique and beautiful but sometimes they don't necessarily fit in to the personality of Bride and Breakfast. That is why I am very glad that Rebellious Bride actually can cater to this other beautiful side of style, dont you think? In the end, I don't believe in posting something because you are being paid to do so. The main reason I started Bride and Breakfast is to inspire, to help brides reach suppliers (whether creme dela creme or up and coming) that speak to their style, to celebrate beauty and love, to show a wide range of professionally styled as well as DIY low budget affairs. The support I have gotten from my readers are overwhelming and for that I am always humbled and thankful. More power to your blog and to your rebellious brides :)Jannahttp://brideandbreakfast.ph/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-960950248796737866.post-26263928027460315102011-12-04T13:46:18.846+08:002011-12-04T13:46:18.846+08:00CORRECTION: I don't think I'll be happy to...CORRECTION: I don't think I'll be happy to read wedding blogs which features typical weddings. What's new with that? What inspirations you can get from their wedding? To have a simple wedding too which neither of the bride nor the groom WHICH EFFORTS has not been seen? COME ON! WAKE-UP! Face the fact, we are in a different generation now. Be thankful that wedding bloggers are not just featuring wedding of CELEBRITIES which is SOOO OVERATED before. <br /><br />Consider wedding like a competition. You join not because you have a goal to be the AVERAGE but because your goal is to WIN and be recognized so YOU NEED TO GIVE YOUR BEST SHOT how simple or grand your wedding could be. <br /><br />This is too much. Sorry rebelliousKAI for this comment full of emotions. GODBLESS!<br /><br />I hope I can meet you someday. Im just an e-mail away. sasa_solijon@yahoo.comSasa Solijonnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-960950248796737866.post-17867973498880462732011-12-04T13:34:55.432+08:002011-12-04T13:34:55.432+08:00I don't usually post a comment but I do read b...I don't usually post a comment but I do read blogs. I am not a blogger. I hate writing but my mind is full of ideas I want to broadcast. <br /><br />The post was very straight-forward about having the idea of not just to blog about detailed wedding but also the average one too. Sorry, but to be honest, I dont think a wedding blogger will not write about an average wedding if that wedding made a difference about their wedding details. <br /><br />But let's first define an average wedding? <br /><br />A wedding which buys wedding dresses in Divisoria? Wedding which only use flowers as their bouquet? Wedding where entourage use barongs which their tshirts are seen by the crowd? Wedding shoes that are just bought in malls? Make-up artist from a parlor near their place? No stylist? Wedding reception in restaurants? Photographers that are not that known? Or just using their own camera or whoever has one?What else?<br /><br />The main point of blogging is showcasing what is new to the eye and what is UNIQUE. You can't blame those wedding bloggers which features intricate details of a certain wedding because readers will be amazed how those couples thought of that idea which is UNIQUE in their opinion while reading. <br /><br />I pity for the bride who told you " Sorry because this might be a boring wedding you will cover". Hey, why are you putting yourself down? It's your wedding. Its not about the details. Its about you and the person you want to spend the rest of your life with. Maybe that's the reason why they don't feature your wedding. Because you dont make a difference even how simple your wedding is and you don't have that "fighting spirit".<br /><br />How can you consider featuring a wedding which doesn't find time to go with the details of their wedding. Then bloggers dont have time too for them. About the money issue, I TOTALLY AGREE WITH YOU. Because they are not from "creme de la creme". But an average lady having a simple wedding can improvise and even borrow stuff from friends or whoever. <br /><br />Sorry, I might seem to be negative with my comment but I am a bride-to-be on December 2012 and I am an average person as well. As of this moment, I am already finished with some of my details which means Im spending time because wedding is just once in a lifetime and it's every dream of every lady. I have the aim to be featured because I know I am one of those rebeliious brides too. But I dont have the popular videographer. Neither the make up artist or a grand church and even reception area. I look for promotion package. I dont have my stylist too. It will be all my idea and the help of my soon-to-be husband. BUT I AM READING BLOGS. I GET INSPIRATIONS FROM THEM THAT IF ONE CAN MAKE THEIR WEDDING AWESOME, I CAN MAKE MINE IN MY OWN WAY. If one can spend and rent and buy the most expensive supplier, reception and clothes and rings and other stuff for their wedding, I can let people say too that I may not have spend or rent or buy that much but my wedding was FABULOUS and one of the BEST EVER.<br /><br /><br />I don't think I'll be happy to read wedding blogs which features typical weddings. What's new with that? What inspirations you can get from their wedding? To have a simple wedding too which neither of the bride nor the groom has not been seen? COME ON! WAKE-UP! Face the fact, we are in a different generation now. Be thankful that wedding bloggers are not just featuring wedding of CELEBRITIES which is SOOO OVERATED before. <br /><br />But still KUDOS to your sentiments. BUT I DARE YOU TO MAKE MORE DIFFERENCE from the others and you'll see. Uplift everything to your Creator and let all the PRAISES and GLORY to him and BOILA! Your works will be featured more often not needing to post this kind of sentiments again in the near future.

I was telling my mom about a rock and roll wedding a friend of mine attended. I said that while I think it's highly original, it might be regrettable a couple of years down the road. Weddings, unlike birthdays, are not celebrated every year. Most of us only get to marry once, and while you're a rocker at 25, you might have a different taste 20 years down the road. <br /><br />See, the wedding business is so intricate that people get caught up with the details. We want to be cool and out do one another, forgetting that the most important part of a wedding is that you're standing beside the person you want to spend the rest of your life with. <br /><br /><br />In my humble opinion, the best weddings are not the most detailed or original. The best weddings are the ones where you can tell the couple is really in love.Christia Gnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-960950248796737866.post-49387748155108567962011-12-03T13:04:00.484+08:002011-12-03T13:04:00.484+08:00I agree with you when you said it all depends on t...I agree with you when you said it all depends on the personality of the bride. Like for example, I like to use mason jars as substitute to elegant glasswares. I love to be classy at times, but that's not who I am. My husband and I don't even drink wine. We'd prefer to make a toast by having a glass of kool aid strawberry.<br /><br />I may have seen it in other wedding blogs but I'd still would want to push it through not because we want to be a copycat, but there's a part of "us" that's similar to other couples, no matter how we want to be deviant. <br /><br />I don't care if other brides won't give much time to showcase intricate details, that's who they are, but then again, that's not who I am. If other girls would have their own most priced and valuable possession, well my wedding is its counterpart. My parents raised me up by telling God made us unique in every little way so I've been carrying that value until now. They're proud of me no matter how weird I get. <br /><br />I'm a kind of girl who takes scrapbooking seriously so even I don't have budget to hire a wedding stylist, I'd try my very best to style my own wedding, not based on what can be googled, but with just my childhood imagination.<br /><br />Again, it's the fight of who we are. There's this saying that we need to love ourselves before we can love anyone else. That before marriage began, it's only myself whom I've been making compromises with. It's like making myself whole for my husband.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
