I love that you have all sorts of events on your blog, not just weddings. You have a nack (spelling?) for selecting things that all generations can appreciate. I have yet to see something on your blog that I haven't said "LOVE THAT" to. Thank you for sharing your ideas and inspirations.

I love the real weddings and interviews you've posted on your blog. Actually, I love your posts about just about anything! I'm a southern transplanted in CO, so that book would really come in handy. I would love to incorporate some of myself and traditions in my wedding. Thanks for offering the drawing!

I think one of my favorite things on Ritzy Bee is the wonderful interviews. I loved getting to "know" a little more about Kristen and Bliss* the other day!

I love how helpful you have been to me as well as other brides-to-be. From videographers to beautiful jewelry, you have opened our eyes to the wonderful world of Wedding! The Real Weddings are so helpful, also! They give each of us a little inspiration for our own weddings.

I just started reading Ritzy Bee and love it! I love the real weddings and the inspiration boards as well as the other events :)

I love seeing the real weddings, and the interviews that you do with people in the industry. There is always a new idea I see that pops up another idea... from jewelry to dishes to stationary to wedding dresses, you cover it all, and I love it all!

I love so much about your blog that it's hard to pinpoint something specific. But, I suppose that I love how you come up with creative ideas for wedding stuff, like anniversary guest books; I just may use that idea for my own wedding.

I just came across Ritzy Bee for the first time last night. And well- let's just say I stayed up late going through every single archive! I'm hooked, obsessed, and so happy that I now have your awesome blog to help me through my wedding planning! :)

I love the real weddings most of all, especially image collages. I find the most inspiration in looking at the visuals of other peoples' weddings. I have a whole collection of images from your blog on my hard drive!
Posted by: Kat | April 04, 2008 at 04:40 PM
I love the inspirational photos!
Posted by: Emily | April 04, 2008 at 04:46 PM
I stumbled across Ritzy Bee from another bridal blog a month or so ago when it was in its beginning stages. Ever since then I've been hooked!! My favorite things about Ritzy Bee are that it is informative AND it has great eye candy. There are plenty of blogs out there that are one or the other, but rarely both. That's why you are a favorite on my Firefox Toolbar! :)

I keep coming back to Ritzy Bee, not only for the wonderful pictures, but I love the fact that you post about things other than weddings! I also love all the interviews you do with the different wedding pros such as Bliss and ink and peat. Thanks for keeping such a wonderful and informative blog!

I love all the stationary! I could not have discovered your blog at a better time - I am planning a baby shower, a bridal shower and my own wedding! There has not been a day that I haven't sent a link to your blog to someone as inspiration! You all have the best taste.
Thanks for all the posts and inspiration!

I love your blog and this book.

I love the style of this blog...and the amazing photos. I am also partial to bee imagery...

Your blog has been so helpful to me in planning my upcoming wedding! I drop by every day. I'm always looking for diy, eco-friendly and stylish ideas for enlivening our big day. It's amazing how one small idea (a wedding certificate signing table) or poses for photos (fun sunlit sidewalk) or a fresh new arrangement of colors can make a huge difference. The interviews, too, are a great help for gathering keen advice. Thanks!!

I love that you have ideas and creations for those of us who are married already.
It is helpful in getting ideas for a "big" birthday (age wise) which one of my relatives will be having soon.

Thanks for aspiring future brides all over! I am addicted to wedding websites, and yours is definitely one that i try to visit everyday!
