Thanks for applying to be a blogger for 1 Mother of the Bride.com !

We've been inundated with applications for the position of wedding blogger within this site and have had literally dozens of people with extensive wedding experience.

Choosing a shortlist from all the applicants hasn't been easy, but thankfully there's been two of us, sifting through your applications to see who has the kind of writing style that will fit in with our own and appeal to the right audience.

Due to the quality of the shortlisted applicants, we have decided to have not one, but two bloggers, on the site, who will hopefully be able to complement each other and add a variety of flavours and ideas.

Shortlisted Applicants

Congratulations to Cherry, Deborah, Adrienne, Holly, Annette, Andrea, Liberty, Maia, Emily, Holly, Felissa & Toyi who have all been shortlisted.

We are hoping to recruit four bloggers, two for this site and two for another wedding-related site.

You will be hearing shortly from me to ask you to write a short piece on one of the following:-

Mother of the Bride - please write 100-250 words on something relevant to the mothers of the bride or groom, or possibly even the grandmother.

Wedding Inspiration & "How To" - please write one piece, 150-250 words, related to giving inspiration or a "how to" for either the bride or bridesmaids

Further Information for Shortlisted Applicants

Please write something in your normal style, on the subject requested. I've deliberately left the subject very open, so you can indulge in something that you enjoy and that inspires you.

Please email me at:-

Include your sample writing and also please write about what sort of payment you would expect for writing two blog posts weekly, some of you are very experienced, but may be beyond our budget!

Thanks to all shortlisted applicants, after reading through the submissions, we've been able to offer the post of blogger to some inspiring writers who we look forward to working with.

Finally, Thank You

A big thankyou to all of you who took the time to write in and apply for this post.

We are looking forward to starting a blog which will really be a useful and inspiring resource to both brides and their mothers approaching the wedding day.
