Exciting Site Changes Are In The Works!! (But Please Pardon our Progress)

Dear Friends,

I am excited to announce that we will be upgrading WeddingBasics.com over the next week to our exciting new look and feel.  While the site will be up and running the entire time, you may experience some problems during this time as we upload the new pages etc.

We will try to make most heavy duty changes during off-peak hours but some will happen during the normal business hours.  We appreciate your patience!  It will be worth it, I promise!  The new site has lots of great new features and a fun look!

Have a great weekend!

Lei

Envelope Addressing Guidelines

There are specific rules of etiquette which are outlined in many different resources about how your envelopes should be addressed. Calligraphy by Conlon refers to Crane’s Wedding Blue Book for formal guidelines. If you need help addressing those envelopes check out this article submiited by Calligraphy by Conlon.

Weddng Season Is Well Underway! More Reasons For A Wedding Video

This is a fun article on why you should consider a wedding video. I personally recommend brides do not skip the video because it is something you will cherish after the wedding. My videographer, who shall remain nameless and isn't from Atlanta anyway, had to cancel on me right before my wedding. AtlantaBridal was still brand new and I didn't have the connections that I have now so I was unable to find another videographer on such short notice. I still wanted video documentation so we hired a family friend (who wanted to become a wedding videographer) to video the wedding - BIG MISTAKE. The wedding video is very funny but he didn't capture all of the important moments and he edited cheesy music over the actual ceremony music. Anyway, I think this article is right on! Check it out and good luck! ~ Lei

Letter From Lei


Lei Lydle

Dear Brides and Grooms,

Thank you so much for visiting my site. I have to say I LOVE, LIVE, AND BREATHE WEDDINGS! When I was engaged I started my first wedding site in Atlanta as a hobby to share ideas with other brides...that was in 1998.

Since then I have published 8 wedding planning Web sites, written a wedding planning e-book and appeared on several radio and television shows. I always try to provide practical wedding planning information for REAL couples so ALL of my sites are research resources developed with brides of all styles and budgets in mind. I enjoy helping brides plan and I hope this wedding blog will be a fun place to share information!

My goal is to continue to build sites "by brides for brides" and new technology makes that easier than ever. Please feel free to post ratings and reviews of wedding vendors and share your wedding planning information here so others may benefit from your experience.

                              Best wishes,

                              Lei Lydle
