Weddingbee boards

I agree with bellenga! I found it through a random search! I am a few things

1. NOT GIRLY!

2. Never Dreamed of my wedding.

3. Crafty ( well I try)

4. We are a poor fireifghter and paramedic

With all this wedding bees allowed me to feel confident that I was just like others and had no clue about what to do. But some bees were very willing to help and guide and through all the post and boards I have found my way and I was off!

Weddingbee is so full of real life drama, projects. It isnt like others that you need to have a million dollar wedding just to even feel like you fit in the same blog space with them.

You have a sisterhood and you make me feel like I have a home.

I know if with any DIY projects I may attempt that I can run here and someone will help me! I have over a year to enjoy it. But I know I will be sad when I leave!

Thanks For everyone's hard work in making this site what it is!

Oh PS. I love the Wiki. It has been a life saver on MANY I'm  not girly what the heck is that moments!

I like it because of all the reasons above

I also enjoy weddingbee in that it doesn't LOOK like it is trying to sell you on other typical bridal supplies. In terms of ad placements. I get very overwhelmed when I see ads popping up everywhere (those ridiculous scrolling ads that float in front of you- ugh) . That is such a turn off. Please don't ever even consider doing that!

The other thing I like abot this website- it that is focuses the process of planning a wedding and joining of two people. Weddingbee looks at the whole picture- not just selling a product for a particular item. 

I never even went to the knot, or projectwedding once I found this site. When I barely skimmed the other websites I got overwhelmed, I didn't like their formats (with all the ads everywhere). 

Anyhow, I tend to gravitate more towards the low key, personable things (like mom and pop stores, or off the beaten path boutiques).

I love weddingbee because it made my husband love me even more since I got to direct most of my wedding craziness to other brides.

I also love weddingbee because you get the entire story from the bees. Not just dresses and flowers, but everything in between for any budget.

I love that everyone is so helpful.  The site is easy to navigate (unlike the knot).  There's a ton of inspiration and unique ideas, as well as how to pull them off. 

I like the community. Planning a wedding was soooooo stressful, and it was great to turn to the hive for inspiration and encouragement.

Weddingbee gave me a home for all my bridal energy!  I find it so much easier to navigate than the knot, so much more friendly, and knowing the people behind it is a real draw. There's great diversity, too, which makes it feel very inclusive and even educational!

Your passion shines through, and your leadership really makes this place a safe haven for brides to seek support, information and guidance as they navigate the bumpy road of engagement.

The Bees also add to that warmth. Their honesty, personal stories and DIY projects gave me something to strive toward and provided tons of inspiration to me in my early days of engagement.

The boards are incredibly resourceful and the wiki is a great tool, too!

I'm coming up on my 1 yr wedding anniversary, yet I still check the 'bee everyday.  I not only found wedding inspiration here but the bee helped me discover that weddings can have distinct personalities, and they can be FUN!

I echo all the other comments above, ease of use, design, FRIENDLINESS!, being able to follow the bees planning process.

I also really enjoy being able to share advice.

I could not have planned my wedding without weddingbee.  I love it. And would love to see more bee additions.  (maybe for new homes, new families, etc....)

I agree with previous comments about the community feel, and I am also glad that Weddingbee feels like a community without feeling exclusive.  I just joined a few days ago and I feel comfortable asking questions here.  While searching for other sites, I came across the iVillage wedding message board, on which everyone was addressing each other by their first names and using their fiances' first names.  I felt like they all knew each other already, and perhaps that they were getting a little too personal for the internet. I felt that I would not be treated equally if I joined. None of that here! :-)

The sense of community and open feedback is wonderful.  The fact that Mr. & Mrs. Bee have been able to keep the feedback positive and helpful is fantastic.  I have loved sharing my story and feeling a part of the community.  I talk about my fellow bees (even if I haven't met them in person) by their bee names and really feel like I've made some great friends. 

There is so much variety in styles, backgrounds and projects b/c we are all real brides with jobs, lives, budgets and family issues of our own.  I am eager to see the many "generations" of bees to come. 

I second eggplant -- weddingbee = awesomeness!

1. Creativity. All of the bees and the users are so creative. My wedding wouldn't be nearly as awesome (in my opinion ;)) if not for Weddingbee!

2. The community. Everyone here is so completely genuine and helpful. I love the support, and I really feel like the other Bees are my friends, not just random people.

3. Mr. and Mrs. Bee really care. I mean really care. They pour their hearts into this place, and it shows. No other site on the internet can compare.

Weddingbee is amazing, and there's nothing else like it out there. You get to see real bride's journeys. Not just a checklist. I haven't gone back to the Knot since I discovered this place back in June!

Yay for Weddingbee!

It's funny I was just talking about this with my sister. There are a few reasons it sticks out from other wedding websites for me.

1. It's all about REAL people , from THEIR point of view. We hear the trials and the triumphs of all the girls ( and guys!).

2. Different personalities and cultures. I've learned a lot from Weddingbee about what different people expect and desire for their wedding. Everything from frilly to vintage to low key country , you can find ideas here from the Bees. But also cultural differences , which is great! new ideas are always welcome.

3. Very welcoming. The Bees , and the others (not that we're any less important!) are usually very tactful in expressing their views  honestly. If someone doesn't think something is a good , or a bad , idea , they explain why and give options!

I have to say that I like that though products are brought up in conversation , nothing is pushed on anyone. I REALY like that about the site.
