Hi again loves! I want to start sharing even more tips and advice here on Every Last Detail, so I’m going to try *really* hard to have little Tuesday Tips posts for you all in addition to the usual Thursday Tips! :)
So the other day, I was flipping through the new Martha Stewart Weddings magazine (which is HUGE and FABULOUS by the way!) and was wanting to remember things that I liked. I thought back to my wedding planning days, and how I would earmark and tear out pages from magazine. But I remembered that when I went back to look through my inspiration folder, I would have no idea what it was that I had liked about that page!
So I remembered this little tip to help you mark your page AND remember what it was that you liked… Post-its! I know you have some hanging around your desk! I had some that were already the perfect size for marking pages, but you can use whatever size you want. Then, as you’re flipping through the magazine and you see something you like, put the Post-it as close to the photo/text as you can, and jot down why you like it. (Note: I know that this is definitely not a new idea… this is just a reminder to use this method!)

Ah, please forgive the horrible quality of the photos… I hope they’re clear enough for you to get the idea! I hope this little tip will help some of you in your quest for inspiration! Oh, and in case you don’t already know, the internet version of this method is Pinterest, and it is AMAZING! ;) If you haven’t received an invite yet, just leave a comment that you need one and I can send it to you! :)
If you have any other tips for reading wedding magazines, feel free to share them with us! :)

I recently got engaged and immediately picked up Bride Ideas sticky notes by Chronicle Books (http://www.chroniclebooks.com/titles/life-style/family-parenting/bride-ideas-sticky-notes.html). I bought them from Paper Source (where I work & have been drooling over them for months). They do exactly what you were talking about, with labels like “flowers”, “color palette”, and “Music to Remember”.
Can you send me an invite? Oh, and my brother just got engaged!! :)
Wow! Looks great and very useful for a wedding photographer!
How can I get the magazine from abroad? Through Amazon maybe?
