It definitely took Michael and I a while to find inspiration for our wedding. Our colors changed about 5 times, our ceremony location has been in limbo, and I was having trouble deciding on an overall theme to tie all the elements together. You may say we still have a lot of time — and we do. But it’s tough to get much of anything booked when you don’t have colors or even a general direction.

Lucky for us, in the past week, it’s finally all started to come together. And that’s thanks in part to some very inspiring websites that I’d like to pay tribute to in this week’s aPRettySocialBride! So if you’re having trouble finding inspiration for your wedding, check out these great sites.

1. Pretty Chicky

Pretty Chicky is an awesome wedding inspiration blog I found. While I love bigger bridal idea sites like The Knot, smaller blog sites like Pretty Chicky are nice because they’re a lot less overwhelming. Sometimes, it’s hard to sift through everything on The Knot to find the ideas that really work for you. Pretty Chicky makes it a little easier. Shari, the girl behind the blog, posts awesome inspiration boards a few times a week, and her taste is amazing! She’s really helped me settle on some ideas, and her blog is one I visit often. If you’re a girly bride looking for a girly wedding, check out Pretty Chicky!

2. Dessy

Dessy is a helpful site for two reasons. (1) They offer tools to help you build your own drag-and-drop inspiration boards, complete with color choices, their collection of Pantone bridesmaid dresses, and more. It’s easy and fun, and is a great way to put all of your ideas in one place. However, if you’re like me, Dessy is awesome because (2) They recently added inspiration styleboard galleries for other brides to post their boards! This is an awesome way to get ideas. You can click your colors and voila — a bunch of premade inspiration boards are right there on your screen. Helpful, huh?

3.  Polyvore

Polyvore is another really unique and helpful site. Like the others, it’s complete with enough styleboards to give you ideas for 20 weddings! The difference here is that Polyvore also tells you were you can buy all the products you see. While the site isn’t just for weddings, there are a ton of wedding ideas there, and it’s always nice to know you can actually find and buy the things you see. You can also add the “Clip to Polyvore” button to your bookmark toolbar, so when you see something online that you like, you can add it to your own styleboard later.

So that’s where I found my inspiration. Where did you find yours?
