Hello! My name is Kasia, I'm a freelance writer living in the Bay Area. This blog chronicled the planning of my 2012 wedding. I wanted to bring back some realness and much-needed humor to the crazy world of wedding planning and I hope my blog reflects that. For more of my work here's my 
When I began the planning process, (OK it may have started when my friend got married a few years ago but whatever) one of the first things I did was start checking out blogs and websites dedicated to weddings. And so it began. Now, with less than three months to go till my wedding, I've got a set list of blogs that I check out daily. These blogs can serve as great tools for your wedding planning endeavors. Many provide free printables, templates, not to mention scores of ideas and inspiration. However, brides beware. Sometimes reading these blogs can be a dangerous game.
You start to question every detail about your wedding. "Is this color OK?" "Will our guests like this?" etc, etc. You also start to get insanely jealous of all the pretty weddings you see featured on these blogs and take on more projects than you realistically have time to accomplish because it just look SO DAMN GOOD on the blog. You think "I can do that!" But really though, you can't. So lets knock that "I'm-a-DIY-diva" mindset right out of your head. I say this only because I'm currently suffering through this. I have a list of things a mile long I'd like to craft but deep down I know that not all of these will be realized. As for controlling my wedding porn addiction, that isn't going so well either. Though the blogs I read range in the typical here's the gorgeous wedding of your dreams to sane down-to-earth advice, they still technically count as "wedding porn" since they've all got one thing in common: weddings! I've read that you should stop reading these at least a few weeks before your wedding because you'll literally drive yourself crazy so that may be something I'll have to consider. In the meantime, here are the blogs I-love- to-hate-on-but-secretely-can't-get-enough-of:
P.S. If you have any more please send it my way and enable my addiction ;)

Oh thanks for sharing these! I've only heard of Style me Pretty and Green Wedding Shoes so far in my bridesmaid duty endeavors, and you are very right about the insane jealousy and sudden inspiration to be crafty! That is, until you realize you haven't crafted since 4th grade and that your skills have remained at that sloppy level!
Yes, it's hard to accept that realization sometimes :) haha we'll see how many of mine I actually accomplish, here's to hoping!
