research overload...

Oh man does this happen to anyone else? Hours fly by trying to find flowers, hairstyles, cake designs...

I wish there was one consolidated wholesale type website. Someone should take The Knot, wedding wires, brides.com, martha stewart weddings, and ALL those others and make one big archive of their photos!!!!

Re: research overload...

As of right now I'm tired of looking LOL

I just cleaned off my computer desktop, it had over 40 pictures of just about everything. From hair to makeup to flowers.

Overloaded definitely.

Re: research overload...

I have almost 20 folders in my main wedding folder on my desktop, every time I find something I organize it into there...I'm a little anal though and doing tons of DIY stuff so I'm constantly finding ideas and then googling the sh&% out of it till I find something I love, then I figure out how I can recreate it CHEAP! lol I can't even imagine how many hours I do this for

HAHAHAHA, u ladies crack me up. I have tons of bookmarks and folders too. They should have a BIG archive feature on this site! That would be helpful.

Re: research overload...

Offbeatbride.com has some ideas that are interesting/creative if you haven't checked it out. I'm not about all their stuff, but some of it is kind of ingenious!

Re: research overload...

I agree ladies!! So many nights I say to myself, 'Ok, 10 you are done and shutting off the computer.' By midnight I usually shut it down lol. I'm my own worst enemy!!

Re: research overload...

So true. FH just asked me to shut down at 10 so we can go in the bedroom and watch tv and hang bc usually by the time I make it in there it so late im asleep in 5 mins. Sad, just sad!

This!!! I actually forced myself out of my little nook on the couch tonight to sit down and finalize my grades. FH did catch me cheating while I was in between publishing subjects...I needed a quick break from grading

I do lose hours when I'm researching....I get focused on one thing and before I know it, its 11 o'clock and its way past my bedtime Hopefully I can organize my hundreds of pictures next week when summer break starts!

Re: research overload...

I think I spent three days looking at honeymoon reviews. It's crazy how much time flies while looking through everything.

omg.... this! I spent at least 3 hours last night googling diy invitations with letterpress.. embossing.. etc. I went to Michael's yesterday because there was a machine I wanted, but they don't have it, so now it's back to the drawing board.
