When I began the Newfoundland Brides Facebook group in March of 2014, I never expected it to grow so big, or so quickly. Within weeks, there were over a thousand members. In the time since, we have had over 9000 members discussing everything from dress shopping, to etiquette, to budgeting, as well as using the group to find their perfect wedding professionals! So many brides have said that the group has been their most trusted resource when it comes to planning their wedding, which I couldn’t be more grateful for, or humbled by.
This website has been more than a year in the making, and I am so proud to announce it! This site aims to be your primary, all-in-one wedding resource for everything planning related! I’ve created this website to be a compliment to the Newfoundland Brides groups, taking them to the next level!
First and foremost, the most important feature, that I couldn’t be more thrilled to announce!!
THE BLOG
The blog will serve to inspire everyone planning their wedding by featuring real Newfoundland weddings, engagements, styled shoots, and other wedding related content, while also showcasing the best work of our fabulous local wedding professionals! Each blog post will have a complete list with links for every vendor associated with that event so you can find exactly who you want to work with for your special day!
THE EVENT CALENDAR
Want to know about a sale event? A grand opening? A wedding show or other event? This calendar will be where you can find it!
FIND YOUR WEDDING PROFESSIONALS
This is NOT just a run of the mill directory site. My goal is for it to be a simple, clean, all-in-one listing of ALL wedding professionals on the island, easily searchable by location! Featuring a bio, reviews, examples of their work, etc, the guide should help make your vendor search as quick and painless as possible!
THE BUY AND SELL SECTION
The NL Brides Buy and Sell group is extremely busy, but it is disorganized due to Facebook’s layout restrictions. Items are easily lost in the mix, being bumped down by other posts, lacking categories. The group search bar has long been faulty, and there isn’t a single one of us who can say that they haven’t lost a Facebook message to the dreaded “other” folder. The Buy and Sell section of newfoundlandbrides.com is organized, and is so much more user friendly, with responses directed to the sellers email address! Simple and easy to find the items you need, and sell the things you wish to pass on to another lucky bride!
PLANNING RESOURCES
The cherry on the sundae!! If you’ve been a part of the group long enough, you’ll have noticed that there are many frequently asked questions. The resources page includes must-have tools such as a fabulous budget guide with more being added shortly! Over time there will be tons of articles added about everything a bride MUST know! 🙂
I couldn’t be more thrilled that you are here reading this right now! I can’t wait to get started, and I hope it provides you everything you need in order to plan the BEST DAY EVER!
