Examples of Jacksonville area couple wedding websites

Hi.  I am a Jacksonville bride and starting to put together our website mainly for out of town guests to help them with travel/hotels, etc.  Wondering if there is a way to search for wedding websites brides have created in the Jacksonville area for ideas and inspiration.  Any help or guidance would be greatly appreciated.  

Best regards, Heather

    I used Google Sites. I love how customizable it is, but I supposed it is a little less user friendly than say, TK's sites.

    When you say that your Google Sites website is 'customizable'... Does that mean you were able to chose your background/border, colors, fonts, etc.?  Or were the blue flowers on your background an offered template?

    I am having the hardest time finding something I really like.  I found a really cute website template from JoJo, but I don't like the pink background color.  This website has some really pretty templates, and it's FREE: http://www.theweddingday.co.za/free-wedding-website But... the website address would be xxx.co.za as it's in South Africa!  They have a bird cage template I LOVE because my theme is "Love Birds", but I don't want the co.za exchange.  Grrrr...

    I created the blue flower background myself. They match my invitations. Backgrounds, fonts, colors, etc are all customizable and I was able to create any and as many pages as I wanted to. It's also free! 
    If you like the site but you want a different URL you can buy a domain name like we did. We bought RaePwnsMike.com and FI set it up to go to our website.

    So I have a 'header' I want to use for my website... I can upload that to Google Sites and customize fonts, colors, etc?

    Your website is great Adrienne!  Was that custom built or is it through a template website service?  LOVE it!  :-)

    If you don't mind me asking Adrienne, did your photography package include a wedding website or was it extra (if so, how much?)?  Hmmm, I wonder if my photographer could do something similar... Our engagement photo session will be in September.  LOVE you website, in case you can't tell!  ;-)

    <div>I don't mind you asking at all! The website was included in my photo package. I'm glad you like it and I hope your photographer is able to do something similar for you. We're excited for everyone to have one place to get the wedding info they need and see our engagement pictures. </div>

    Mine is www.Molly-Mike.com. Its a weddingtracker.com site and it was pretty easy to put together.  We're even doing the online RSVP to save paper (and money!).  Hope that helps.

    @Adrienne...So my photographer DOES provide a very basic website with our photography package!  Yeah!  She does not currently offer a 'comment' page, so in looking at your site, I noticed the Facebook Comment link.  I realize this is a social plug-in, but how does it provide comments to you?  Where do they show up?  Does the comment link to a Facebook page for your wedding?!?  Thanks!

    <div>You know, I don't know where the comments go! I imagine they go to my photographer's FB. I wrote her an email asking earlier this week, but have yet to hear back. I'll let you know when I do1</div>

    <div>Hi! My photographer wrote me back and let me know the comments go directly on my wedding website. It doesn't go to a FB account, you just use your FB account to comment. <img src="http://cdn.cl9.vanillaforums.com/downloaded/ver1.0/content/scripts/tinymce/plugins/emotions/images/smiley-laughing.gif" border="0" alt="Laughing" title="Laughing" /></div>

    Aaah, good to know.  I am not the most technical savy person, but that's what I thought.  Thanks for answering all of my questions.  Now I just need to get our engagement photography session scheduled so I have pictures to put up on our website!  LOL!
