Weddingbee PRO

I’m excited to announce the latest member of the Weddingbee blog family: a group blog by top wedding vendors!

Weddingbee PRO is a group blog about weddings, just like Weddingbee.  But this blog will have real wedding *vendors*, blogging about weddings from the vendor side of the aisle.  It’s the first group blog of its kind, and we couldn’t be more excited!

Can you believe it’s been almost three years since we first launched Weddingbee in February 2006?!  The vision for Weddingbee has been the same since its start: a group blog with real brides blogging about their weddings.

We often thought about expanding Weddingbee to include vendors.  A number of wedding vendors approached us about blogging for Weddingbee itself, but we always said no.  We just felt it was best to keep bride and vendor blogging separate, especially as Weddingbee was just getting established.

But now that Weddingbee is firmly established as a site for brides, we got to thinking.  Vendors have so much expertise and inspiration to share, as well as some of the most gorgeous blogs out there.  We thought that maybe it was time to start a new blog with blog posts by weddding vendors.  And so was born WeddingbeePRO.com!

Now you’ll be able to read the the same sort of behind-the-scene insights that you’ve come to expect from our Weddingbee Bees… but from our Vendor Pros!  Also, of course, they’ll all be blogging lots of pro pics and videos as well.

Who are our PROS?

We like to think that our first group of PROS include some of the most talented, innovative, up and coming wedding vendors in the industry today.

We’re starting with seven vendors we know and love:

• Angel Swanson from Events of Love and Splendor
• Anne Ruthman Photography
•  Betsy Dunlap Calligraphy
• Chelsea Petaja from Oh My Deer!
• John and Patrick from Still Motion
• Nancy Liu Chin Designs
• Rachelle and Emily from Wiley Valentine

You may recognize some these names from the weddings of our Bees!

• Angel Swanson was the Day of Coordinator for Mrs. Lime, Mrs. Jasmine, and Miss Hot Cocoa.
• Betsy Dunlap did the calligraphy for Mrs. Petunia’s wedding.
• Nancy Liu Chin did the flowers for Mrs. Gummi Bear.
• Still Motion did the TTD and Same Day Edits for Mrs. Milkshake.
• Wiley Valentine did the invites for Mrs. Beetle and Mrs. Licorice

And Anne Ruthman and Chelsea Petaja are just all around awesome!
