Our Aruba Wedding

One thing I have found really helpful is to join wedding websites that have great photo galleries. Many will let you create a free account. Then when you are browsing photo galleries and see photos you love, add it to ‘your photos’. I had nights where I would spend hours looking at photos, flowers, hair, jewelry, etc. After a while it all blurs together. Then I would go back a week or two later and look just at ‘my photos’. Photos that I remember ‘liking’ were suddenly photos I loved! That’s where my flower inspiration photos came from. My ProjectWedding saved photos. (Here are over 1600 beach wedding photos.) While ProjectWedding has been my favorite I also love StyleMePretty, and I’ve used theKnot. I’m sure there are tons of sites that offer this, in particular, bridal magazine websites.

Just another reminder that the Aruba.com forum has been without a doubt, the most helpful resource to me. In particular, the Weddings and Honeymoons thread. You can learn about hotels, restaurants, vendors, activities, etc. You get the benefit of talking to people that live there as well as regular visitors and couple that have had their wedding or are planning their wedding in Aruba. Another benefit is getting to see questions that you might not even have thought to ask yet! The moderators work hard to see to it that the information on there is as fair and accurate as it can be. Even now as I enter the last days of prep there are people from the forum that continue to provide support.
