the glamorous* life of a wedding blogger

Free download via The Love Collective

*that word is not accurate. Side note: I also thought about calling this post: why I don’t have my own reality TV show. A while ago I wrote about ‘why I hate the B word’ – as in blogger. It sparked a bit of a conversation amongst myself and other wedding bloggers and we all [...]

BB’s birthday party & contest!

Birthday Party inspiration board + details for Burnett's Boards inspiration board contest and giveaway!

Yesterday officially marked BB’s one year birthday but I was traveling so I saved this post for today! I honestly can’t believe how far this blog has come and it wouldn’t have happened without all of my readers. I thank you from the bottom of my heart for all of your visits, pins, tweets, Facebook [...]

why I hate the b-word

blogging joke

There is a funny thing that happens to me when asked by random people about what I do for a living. I lie. I lie because I hate telling people that I’m a blogger. Depending on my mood (or how many glasses of wine I’ve had) the lies can get rather extravagant. One time I [...]

BB’s Yearbook: most popular & more!

Screen shot 2012-12-09 at 5.49.06 PM

I thought that today, instead of a regular Sunday Edition and with tomorrow being New Year’s Eve, we’d take a look back at the year’s most popular inspiration boards – high school yearbook style! Regular Sunday Editions will resume next week AND be sure to stop by tomorrow and on New Year’s Day for some [...]

a christmas craft for the tragically uncrafty

Christmas card DIY

My friend and fantastic bloggerina Brenda from Brenda’s Wedding Blog emailed me one day in late November and asked if I wanted to participate in her holiday card swap. Basically, you hand-craft holiday cards and send them to six random people (although two of them turned out to be not so random – I knew [...]

top-wedding-blogs

Every Year Bride Tide puts together a list of the top 100 wedding bloggers and this year I’d be ridiculously honored to run with that pack of amazing blogs. But I need your help! If you’ve been enjoying your daily dose of wedding inspiration; if you love BB’s Facebook status updates; if you tweet with me; if [...]

new logo!

JessicaAnn

You may remember from a month or so ago that I went to The Blogcademy and one of the things that I took away from it was the importance of allowing your blog to grow, and of course, allowing your personality to shine through because people tend to follow bloggers, not blogs. That all got [...]

my personal favs: 2012 holiday gift guide

bando heart clutch

Now that the holiday shopping season is here I thought I’d round up some of my all time favorite things! All of the items in this list are either things I currently own and adore or are on my Christmas wish list (someone please tweet this post to my husband @innovatespace). I hope it gives [...]

are Native American themed weddings wrong?

Native American themed weddings - right or wrong?

I thought we’d take a break today from your regularly scheduled inspiration board programming to discuss something that has come to my attention lately… the Native American themed wedding trend. With Thanksgiving coming up this week I couldn’t help but think of this cultural appropriation. No Doubt pulled their ‘Looking Hot’ video after accusations of racism [...]

exciting changes

quote-about-change

If you feel like there have been a few changes around Burnett’s Boards lately, you’d be right (and there are more to come!). One big one starting today is that I’m now offering sidebar advertising. Shock and horror! Yes, remember that personal post I wrote a while ago where I said: “My goal: to bring [...]

sunday edition (with headless bride theme and mermaid baby)

Sunday Edition from Burnett's Boards

There’s a definite trend in wedding photography that I’m not (yet) going to label awesome or disastrous, and that’s of the headless bride. Like most trends though whether it is awesome or disastrous depends on how well you carry it off…kind of like neon eye shadows. Neon colored eye shadows can go from fabulous to [...]

special report: the blogcademy

The Blogcademy

This past weekend I was ‘schooled’ at The Blogcademy in NYC! Attending The Blogcademy was a last minute decision for me – I already had tickets booked to be on the mainland for my college’s centennial celebration and thought – why not zip up to NYC for the weekend to see what it’s all about? [...]
