Utterly Engaged: Pure, unadulterated wedding porn (yes, that's actually a phrase). Best viewed on iPad.
Etsy: This is basically what you would get if you crossed a craft fair with Pinterest and Amazon. Etsy is not necessarily a wedding site, but I found some wonderful ideas and it was great to patronize the small businesses on this site. The bridesmaid clutches, some of my jewelry, and my fascinator all were Etsy finds. "Artisanal" means something here.
Off Beat Bride: This one is a bit of an answer to The Knot/Nest/Bump, except ideas are a bit more, well, off-beat, and there's much less judgment in the community forums. (I dare you to tell The Knot community forums you are thinking about an ice cream cake for the groom's cake. The internet panic incited by this is sadly hilarious.) I highly recommend registering with the Off Beat Bride Tribe if you'd like a place to dish with other brides with similar tastes or in similar situations to you. Note: 87.6% of everything you see here will *not* be for you. That's one of the best things about this site.
I've got to add one to this. It looks like my sorority sister who put it together when planning her wedding hasn't really updated it since getting married, but I think Jenn would have a few tastes that you would like as well: http://www.thirdcoastbride.com/
