As you have probably noticed, I have a ton of “favorites”. Nonpareil Magazine is quickly moving to the top of that list! This must see online wedding magazine combines the sweetness and charm of DIY wedding projects, with a hip and stylish twist. If you love weddings and you love DIY, this is a definite must see! I just know you will enjoy it as much as I do.

There are already four fantastic issues, so make sure you don’t miss a single page!

Bliss Faves: With This Ring

Friday, February 5th, 2010

Not only is the With This Ring blog a fantastic/adorable/super awesome resource for brides and grooms, but the author and creator, Darci, is one of the sweetest people I have had the pleasure of meeting. I feel silly for not knowing about it sooner, since we all know how much I love my blog reading! I recently met Darci at The Making Things Happen intensive in Chicago and instantly felt a connection to Darci’s kind words. (More on MTH coming VERY, VERY soon!)

You should definitely head on over and take a look at all of the adorable posts, advice and info that Darci has to share, but here are a few of my favorites if you are looking for a quick peek.
