BalancedBride.com went live in January of 2009 for one reason and one reason only....I was ticked. In 2007 I moved to Charleston with a brand new ring on my finger and no idea how to plan a wedding, let alone do it in a brand new city.
I'm a web girl. I do all my research online and haven't used a library or yellow-pages since 1996. Therefore it only made sense to do my entire wedding planning online....but wait...there was no good source. The big sites like theknot.com only showed me the vendors that paid to be listed, not all my options. The smaller sites were unorganized and I found a ton of dead links and vendors no longer in business.
So fine, you want to be like that I'd do my own site! One with ALL the locations you can get married in Charleston, not just the top five. One that lets me sort by criteria that is important to me.
Now i will tell you this, this is site is ever changing. It did get put on the back burner for a few months while I brought a little girl into this world. But we're back on top now and there are some big changes and additions coming to BB. We will be having some guest bloggers and the discussion board is in development. If you know of a vendor we don't have please let me know. If you know of a vendor that we have listed incorrectly let me know that too.
My goal and the goal of BB is to have 100% of the wedding vendors in Charleston listed here. Any and all comments are welcome!
