OmniBride™ & TWC: New Beginnings & Fond Farewells
The Wedding Chat has been a labor of love and a launching pad to something new and exciting for the entire online wedding community. You see we discovered a black hole…
As bloggers in the wedding industry we adore the vast blogosphere but, for a while, have felt such a deep void when attempting to research and find great content. Oh, we know it’s out there. In fact we take pride in the topics we’ve covered. But think about it-when you try to find something it’s often a time-consuming, hit-or-miss experience. There is so much valuable information out there and searching is like drifting aimlessly out in space.
Well, our frustration turned into opportunity. We connected with some tech virtuosos to help us create OmniBride, the first search-find-share destination solely for the wedding industry.
Our mission was to bring the entire online wedding community together so none of us has to wander aimlessly through the Internet to find great ideas, inspirations and resources.
We are just beginning to officially launch OmniBride and say a fond farewell to The Wedding Chat. We are sad for TWC to end as it has been steadily growing in popularity but feel our mission to bring together the entire online wedding community is the best use of our energies. We felt it even more when blogger Kelly Gribben, Keg Design, landed on us while she was randomly checking her site meter…”I discovered OmniBride as a referring site and one that is solely devoted to wedding-related things. What a cool concept! It’s definitely something the online wedding community can use.” We hope you think so too!
For brides: You’ll find that OmniBride is the most comprehensive destination for researching and planning your wedding.
For bloggers: Your voices will be heard by an exponentially greater audience. If the community loves your content, your stats will grow—and so will your fan base.
For industry: You have the opportunity to find out what the online wedding community is saying (or not saying) about your goods and services. You can engage in the community dialogues.
For journalists: This is your tool for researching and uncovering the latest buzz and resources.
You have the power to rate the value of a search result by either “loving” or “trashing” it so, unlike a general search engine, the community determines what rises to the top. So participate often and let your voice be heard throughout the wedding universe!
But there’s more to OmniBride—check out our feeds for the daily news and the most current wedding-related contests and giveaways. And if it’s being talked about—we’ll find it!
You may have noticed that this is a BETA version of OmniBride. This means that Version 1 is ready for take-off. But our vision doesn’t end here—count on an explosion of features and functions in the near future. For now, enjoy your exploration…and let us know about your experiences of finding it in the wedding cosmos.

“Prima Donna” for a Day!
You have the perfect dress. It makes you feel elegant, extraordinary, and beautiful. Now you are looking for that special something to wear underneath. Something that will make you feel just as special and possibly even something more…Irresistible! It is your day, and you are the star. So, why not take the stage and wear a white-carpet-worthy lingerie called PRIMA DONNA.
PRIMA DONNA has been creating perfectly fitting, handcrafted, sensational lingerie since the its founding in 1865. They take pride in offering varying styles, colors, and the finest materials in a large range of sizes from B to H. Impressive!
A little story…I have been a connoisseur of Prima Donna bras and lingerie for a long time! One day way back when, I attended a wedding that required an outfit change. My personal possessions were supposed to be secure, since we were at a church. But as it turns out, they weren’t, because of all things…my beautiful PRIMA DONNA bra and an empty evening clutch had been stolen! I was devastated, not to mention braless! My family got a huge laugh out of the whole situation, and for the rest of the evening the big joke was there wasn’t anyone who belonged to the church or who attended the wedding big enough to wear my bra size. Ha-Ha.
