Tip for searching the big sites

When I started wedding planning, I wasn't aware of the blog world, and started looking for ideas and inspiration on the "big" wedding sites (knot, msw, brides). As I began to get overwhelmed when the search function would lead to 500 results, many of them not relevant, I realized that it would be easier to find what I was looking for if I was more targeted in my search.

I then had a moment of inspiration, and realized I should search by specific non-wedding related words only used in seaside/nautical weddings: some I've found helpful - seersucker, sailboat, hydrangea, dock, lighthouse, nautical flag...you get the idea. It takes you to mainly people's albums, which are what I've found to be most helpful in getting ideas.

And this is how I found my most recent favorite wedding....its perfect. The color scheme (seersucker and green), with the location (Marco Island, FL) and that dress. Which sadly, she designed herself and can't be purchased.
