one of my favorite sources of wedding inspiration: snippet & ink

And the blogs! There are blogs where crafty brides show off their fabulous DIY projects. There are blogs by gorgeous punk rock brides , geeky brides, and preppy brides. There are even sites for brides who are fed up with the Wedding Industrial Complex and want to bring weddings back down to earth. I haven’t been able to find a lot about internet junkie brides,  though. I did find one iPhone-toting wedding photographer.

In my “real” life as an academic technology project manager, I also read lots of blogs: blogs about web 2.0, blogs about social networking for education and business, and blogs about productivity in a world where we’re often overwhelmed trying to keep up with the next big thing. But I seldom see technology-oriented blogs devote much space to weddings (it makes sense, I suppose; most tech blogs just cover the tools and leave it up to the reader to see how he or she can apply them).

So there you have it folks: Connected Bride is where my “connected”, plugged-in, iPhone toting geek  self meets my “bride” self — the part of me that loves beautiful clothes, gorgeous interiors, tasty food, and spectacular parties. Enjoy!

I’m new to this whole blogging thing, so if you have anything to add to one of my posts, or if there’s a great resource you think I should know about, you can email URLs to connectedbride at gmail dot com. If you’d like me to give you a shoutout when I post it, let me know your web address as well.

Likewise, if you see a photo or other item that is incorrectly attributed, I would appreciate it if you’d let me know. I started clipping items from the web long before I started to blog, and sometimes forgot to note where the ideas and images came from.

Here we go….
