Claire and Alex’s site is our featured WeddingWindow.com wedding website of the week. Since February is the month of love, we felt it appropriate to highlight Claire and Alex’s heart-inspired website design. They did a fabulous job assembling helpful information for their guests and organized it beautifully on their website. Congratulations Claire and Alex!
WeddingWindow.com Website Design: “Celebrity”
1. How has your website been most helpful in planning your wedding?
It’s been a great place to direct people with questions. Now you don’t have to constantly repeat yourself. Guests also loved all the pictures.
2. How did you customize your website?
Photos of myself and my husband, our families and our friends, things to do, vendors I used, blogs I like to visit … everything about my wedding I tried to include. I wanted the site to act like a travel agent for the out of town guests, a concierge with the inside scoop for people looking for the best place to eat and shop. It was a way for people, that may not know my husband and I very well, to get a chance to learn about us a little bit.
3. Did you customize other elements of your wedding as well? If so, what were they?
Weddings are all about the details … this site was just one of those important details that needs to be done. Its needs to be done right and wedding window was the perfect site. Just about everything was custom for my wedding. I had a vision that made just about everything custom, from the invitations, to the unknown-but-amazing photographer, to the fact that each bridesmaid was allowed to wear their own dress as long as it was black and they felt beautiful in it.
4. What was your favorite feature?
The gift registry section was really easy to navigate. It’s perfect that it links you directly to the website and your complete registry. Guests do not have to worry about typing any information in. I also loved that you could easily customize the site to include everything you want. It was an enjoyable process that I would recommend to any couple as a way to complete the overall success of your wedding. Of all the wedding websites out there wedding window had the most unique designs and clear set-up.
Good luck!!

The twobirds dress can be wrapped more than 15 ways to accommodate varying body types. It comes in 18 colors and four different lengths.
I came across a twobirds advertisement while flipping through the latest edition of Martha Stewart Weddings. View a video of the different looks here. If anyone has worn the dress, I would love to hear about it! Goldman’s bridesmaids wore the dress in her wedding, and the website displays some real wedding photos for more ideas.

The company offers “rosettes,” which can be hand-sewn to the bottom hem of the dress. twobirds suggests the rosettes as the perfect adornment for the maid or matron of honor.

Another way to honor and feature your maid of honor is to choose a two-toned dress for her. Or use them for all your bridesmaids to accentuate your colors!

twobirds is in New York City but ships anywhere in the United States and Canada. The company also has offices in Sydney and London by appointment. The twobirds name comes from their claim that bridesmaids will wear the dress again, hence, “killing ‘two birds’ with one dress.”
