It’s a great day for The Oceanside Bride as we celebrate several occasions!
First, a big HAPPY BIRTHDAY shout out goes to The Oceanside Bride which turns ONE today! Time has flown and I really can’t believe a year has already gone by. It’s been so much fun capturing my own personal wedding planning details here and I hope I have been able to share some inspiration with other beach brides out there who are planning their own special day.
Some great things are in store for The Oceanside Bride in its second year starting with a blog re-design and new post features which will be coming soon.
Beginning this blog last year on June 8th seemed perfect since it also happens to be World Ocean Day!
Reasons we should celebrate our ocean…
- Generates most of the oxygen we breathe
- Provides food for us
- Helps regulate our climate
- Cleans the water we drink
- Used for the study of and creating new medicines
- Great beauty and inspiration!
Although there are often harming circumstances completely out of our control (i.e. sadly the oil spill we are dealing with here in the U.S), there are many ways we can contribute and do our part to help keep it clean. I mean, there are plenty of us out there who would love to have the ocean serve as backdrop to our own beach wedding, enjoy a tropical beach island honeymoon and plan for family vacations with the future kiddos there right?

Last but certainly not least, I’m celebrating Tiffany, a long-time friend of mine (who also happens to be a bridal consultant), by welcoming her to The Oceanside Bride as an official partner and blogger!
Our friendship sparked in our first semester of college after we learned of each other’s passion for event planning and all things weddings (even way before either of us would plan our own). So after 11 years (yikes-has it been that long?), we are finally partnering up on a few things here at The Oceanside Bride.
Through our blog, we’ll continue to share DOUBLE the inspiration with other brides planning their own beach or destination weddings. Then coming in August, we’ll be launching our very own online beach wedding favor boutique and we’re so excited!
So a big welcome to my girl, Tiffany- I know your love for planning, details, and weddings will make you an awesome partner and wonderful friend!
