We may be a little bit biased but we think wedding blogs are pretty awesome.
We're guessing you do too, seeing as you're here. (Yay! Thanks for stopping by!)
Not only are blogs free to browse but all the pretty and helpful content sticks around forever (so you never miss an issue!) and if you can't find something you love on one, you can simply click onto another. The options for big day inspiration are endless!
Thanks to the wide range of wedding bloggers out there from all over the world, each from diverse backgrounds sharing their personal take on all things wedding related, there is something to inspire every kind of couple and every kind of wedding.

Diverse Wedding Inspiration With A Personal Touch
Not all wedding blogs are the same. They might all have real weddings, styled shoots, or bridal collections, but each blog and the people behind them have their own unique spin on helping you to create your best day ever.
Whether it's an aesthetic for fine art or for fun, a niche for reaching out to a particular kind of couple or a certain kind of wedding (rustic, budget, modern), wedding blogs are filled with fresh ideas, insightful inspiration and a personal touch.
And because we know full well just how much love, hard work and caffeine-fuelled late nights go into running a wedding blog (not to mention all the hard work that brides, grooms and talented vendors pour into the weddings and shoots we collectively get to feature each and every day!) we figured it was high time we shared the love for our fellow wedding blogs.
Our Guide to Wedding Blogs for Every Kind of Couple And Every Kind of Wedding
What we love about wedding blogs is that you can follow as many as you like, because each one is different.
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!
We've broken down each blog niche by niche to help you on your way but we're not that into pigeonholing. So, just because we've listed a blog for quirky weddings, doesn't mean it doesn't also have dreamy pictures, multi-cultural real weddings and feminist ideas. (We bloggers can wear lots of hats at the same time!)

While it's impossible to fit every awesome wedding blog on the list (we stopped counting past 100!) 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.
Because that's the great thing about the internet, right? It's free, and it's for everyone.
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.
