Hi, all ... I am inspired to see so many brides-to-be interested in vintage themes. Honestly, my guy and I are older, so we have a lot of childhood memories to weave into, and help create, a vintage-inspired wedding to remember. Ideas are aleady bubbling!
date: september 25 2010
era: 1950's and early 1960's
handkerchiefs, ladies gloves, ballet or tea length dresses, pearls, pillbox hat, vintage toys and bags, fun, casual afternoon bbq

[QUOTE]um this might sound stupid but what is a planning bio? should i start like a free blog on tumblr? it sounds like a great idea actually to keep all this organized. i already have a wedding binder with everything in it. thanks! -Erin
Posted by ramblingpurse[/QUOTE]
Welcome! A planning bio is basically an online version of your binder. I had a binder too, but I found that I was changing things so often, that I couldn't keep up. Not to mention most of my information/inspiration was found online. The icing on the cake, was that I could share my ideas with knotties and ask for suggestions on this or that. For example, I'd say "I not sure about my veil idea. I've posted some pictures in my bio under the blog section, what do you think?", and they could go and look and comment.
Most girls make bios on <a href="http://www.mywedding.com">www.mywedding.com</a> or <a href="http://www.weebly.com">www.weebly.com</a> because both of those sites are free. I have my wedding website mywedding.com (the website for my wedding guests with my personal information that is unsafe to share with the general internet community) so I made my <em>planning </em>bio using theknot.com wedding website. I think theirs is strangely overlooked by many brides! You can find the link to start creating your knot.com website from the knot.com main page. It's on the left side under "wedding planning tools" or something like that.
I hope this helps! I'd love it if you'd make a wedding website so we can sneak a peek at your ideas!
I will post the url soon as its up!
thanks!

Good luck.
We just booked our venue and put down our deposit so our date is official! The peacock theme was not only popular in the first half of the 20th century, but has a special significance for me as a classical archaeologist: the peacock is the bird sacred to Hera, the goddess of marriage and monogomy.
