The summer wedding season has officially arrived, and you'll be seeing naked cakes, Edison bulb outdoor lighting, and flowers galore through October.

To keep the wedding day ideas flowing — and get a sneak peek at upcoming trends — check out some of our favorite wedding blogs. Whether you're going for indie, chic, or traditional, these picks will help brides and grooms go from to-do to "I do!"

1. This awesome Boston wedding blog is a must-see if you're getting hitched locally

Getting married in Massachusetts? There are a number of blogs dedicated to the Bay State that offer insider tips for the best vendors, flower farmers, venues, and more. Borrowed & Blue remains our go-to reccomendation for those in Boston who are looking to wow their guests.  They even have a newly developed wedding planning app!
