Independence Day Wedding Inspiration Board – Red, White, and Aqua

Here’s a pretty take on red, white, and blue – I softened it up a bit with aqua instead of navy blue for Independence Day. This inspiration board was created in just 5 minutes using our soon to launch “Desire” Inspiration Board Creator app for the iPhone and iPad!

Same Sex Weddings in New York Legalized

Congratulations to all my gay wedding friends in New York!!! You now have the right to marry your loved ones legally and I’m thrilled for you all! Governor Andrew Cuomo made same-sex marriages legal in New York today and weddings can start taking place in New York in 30 days. I also wanted to point out how forward thinking My Wedding Concierge is. Not only were we the first ones to come out with wedding iPhone apps over 2 years ago, our Inspiration Engine iPhone App is also the only ones that show up in the iTunes store when you do a search for “gay wedding planning,” “gay wedding planner,” “Same sex wedding planning,” “gay wedding blogs,” “gay inspiration boards,” “gay wedding ideas,” “gay wedding inspiration,” and “same-sex wedding planner.”
Our app also ranks #1 and #2 for the term “same sex weddings” and “gay weddings,” “same sex wedding” and “gay wedding.”
Congratulations again! This is a major victory for you all and now we just wait for the next 44 states to follow suit. Have a wonderful weekend!

My Wedding Concierge Inspiration Board Creator App – Desire Preview


We are getting ready to launch our Inspiration Board creator app for the iPhone and iPad! Get ready to be able to create inspiration boards in just a few minutes! No longer will you need to know how to use Photoshop or Illustrator. Make inspiration boards just like the professional bloggers! I just reread what I typed…and it sounds like an infomercial. But whatever…you’re going to love it. We’re looking to submit to Apple next week and vendors, if you want to get your photos on, let me know and we can make that happen! Would love to hear your feedback on this new app and how we can improve on it!

Engage11 – Coffee Break Inspiration Board – Perfect for Wedding Brunch

We were treated to a wonderful coffee break during the general session at Engage!11. The Grand Del Mar put on a beautiful display of coffee flavored cupcakes, miniature tiramisu, Starbucks Frappucinos, and Krispy Kreme donuts complete with vintage signage and flowers in vintage coffee cans. Perfect for bridal showers and post wedding brunches, it’s a great way to caffeinate!
And this pretty inspiration board was created with our new inspiration board creator app – done in under 2 minutes! You’ll be seeing a lot more inspiration boards from me now….now that I can get them done perfectly, and in under 5 minutes! Look for the app in a few weeks!

We’re Thrilled To Announce the Launch of Ad Concierge

Ads that don't look like ads generate a much higher click through rate!

Introducing: My Wedding Concierge’s Ad Concierge
You decide what words you would like to be found under. If the spot is available, you
may purchase it on a monthly basis. There are no contracts. Photos must be
contextually relevant to the search term that you’re purchasing
for.
Where do your ads appear?
They appear on our website, and our Inspiration Engine iPhone and iPad Apps. The
spots available are the #1, #6, #11, #16, #21, and #26.
Why are only those spots available?
We want the best user experience for brides – a site that is cluttered with ads
simply doesn’t keep her attention, however strategically placed
ads that are relevant to her original search term will increase the number of click
throughs that your ad will get.
Why do you increment by 5s?
On our Inspiration Engine iPhone and iPad Apps, we show brides 5 search results at a
time. When she goes to click on the “Show More
Articles†tab, the very next search result will be your ad. By placing
your ad in the first section of each set of search results, you’ll
have a much higher rate of click throughs.
Where does the click through go to?
It can go to your website, blog, storefront, wherever you’d like -
but the more relevant it is to the original search term, the better.
Reach more brides!
Our brides find us organically on Google through our extensive network of search
engine optimized pages, our iPhone and iPad Apps, via our strategic partnerships with
other wedding websites, and from editorial coverage including The Wall Street
Journal, Glamour.com, Portfolio.com, Investor’s Business Journal,
AMEX Open Forum, and more!
Brides are on our site to find YOU. They are actively searching for wedding
businesses and through our large network of hand curated wedding blogs for ideas on
how to plan her wedding.
Target the right bride in the right context:
Using the right keywords, we can match you up with the bride who is looking for you.
For example, if she is in the mindset of looking for inspiration boards on barn
weddings in San Diego, and your reception site is a barn in San Diego, your business
is exactly what she is looking for and the chances that she’ll
click on your ad increases.
How much does it cost?
Rates start at an affordable $50/Month with no commitments. Words and phrases are
available on a first come, first served basis. To reserve your words, contact us at: advertising@my-wedding-concierge.com

New Advertising Opportunity on My Wedding Concierge

Our Inspiration Engine Apps have been out for a few weeks now and have done phenomenally well! We are on track to hit 750,000 pageviews in December!!! We’ve started a tumblr blog a few days ago and we love how easy and fast it is to post. We’ve skinned it and made it real pretty. We’ll be posting several times a day – really whatever tickles our fancy and what we think will inspire our brides planning their weddings.

Here is where we’ll help you shine!
Our Tumblr blog will be indexed into our website’s search engine, our Inspiration Engine iPhone and iPad apps, and each post will be tweeted to our nearly 5,000 followers. The posts will be search engine optimized for Google as well as My Wedding Concierge so brides who type your company name into our search engine will find you immediately. Each sponsored post will also be tagged for searchability as well. The posts live on indefinitely on tumblr and our search engines. We will never take them down so this is a great opportunity to reach tens of thousands of brides easily and forever! Because the posts are optimized for keywords, this works for local, national, or international vendors. You’ll also get a link directly back to your site. We are only accepting a limited number of sponsored posts each week and our rates are awesome (really they are!), so shoot me an email and we can get your ad rolling right away!
