Create a beautiful ‘Wed-Site’ with Riley & Grey + 50% reader discount

26/02/2015 by Karen

Riley-Grey
Some of you may be aware that I ran my own graphic and web design business for 10 years, prior to working full time  on  Smashing The Glass. That explains why I get super excited about  gorgeous  designs and beautiful  graphics and really know a brilliant  creative  product  when I see one, and ‘the one’ that I’m thoroughly  obsessed with right now is Riley & Grey.

Their wedding websites are by far the prettiest, and most  alluring ones out there, and can be  completely customised to your specifications. When I was planning  my own wedding  I hunted high and low for a cool and stylish wedding website and eventually binned the idea when I couldn’t find one to reflect my tastes. What a shame that Riley & Grey weren’t  around then as I would have, without question, used their services.

The best online tool for you and your guests

A wedding website (or ‘wed-site’ as you might have heard them referred to) is a great tool for collecting guest addresses, managing RSVPs and dietary requirements, and informing  your guests about your gift list. They’re also eco-friendly, and can incorporate all sorts of extra information and photo and  video galleries in a beautifully stylish way.

You can introduce your bridal party, tell everyone the story of how you met, explain directions, and if you’re having a destination or weekend-long wedding, incorporate the full schedule of events, and see who’s coming to what and when. You can also advise  your guests on  nearby hotels, attractions,and all the relevant transport links in a beautiful, orderly way. And if any specifics change, unlike print, you can instantly update  the details in a flash!

Smashing The Glass readers love Riley & Grey

Being such a huge fan of Riley & Grey, I mentioned them in my talk last year at Brides The Show  as one of the best  online tools for planning your wedding. Then, a few weeks later, I couldn’t help but mention them again in this blog post about online wedding resources every bride-to-be should know about. Soon after that post was published, I was thrilled to receive emails from readers like this one ( actually from a groom-to-be!):

Hi Karen,

Just wanted to let you know that we have organised a wedding website through Riley &  Grey after seeing it on your blog.   Totally amazing!

Best wishes,

David

So you can imagine how delighted I am to tell you that I have secured a fantastic discount code for you from the very generous  peeps at Riley & Grey. Check out the details at  the bottom of the post  for a whopping 50% discount for the first 100 readers to sign up!

super beautiful designs that are really easy to work with

So it goes without saying that the thing I love most about Riley  &  Grey  are their limited-edition designs and I’ve singled out some of my favourites on this page.  I’d go as far as saying you could  design  an entire wedding around one of these beauties!  Their designs are inspired by fashion, art, interior design, home decor, typography, illustration, and scenery, and they’re most definitely the luxury option on the market. That of course goes hand in hand with top-notch customer service — they’ll even walk you through the set up of your site if you so desire.

Having said that, every Riley  &  Grey  design is really easy to work with, so in my opinion, even the most technophobic brides and grooms will have no trouble creating  the wed-site of their dreams.

Two more details that I must mention are  that all the designs include a custom domain, and a seamless mobile version that mimics the experience of an app (without making your guests download anything!). It’s so important in this day and age when most of us are checking  the internet out on our phones rather than our computers.

“a little less Martha, a little more Vogue”

Co-founder Marissa Gibbons, one of the site’s co-founders, says the idea for Riley  &  Grey  came about when she was planning her own wedding. She told me,  “we started the company because we felt for such a big, fragmented industry, everything in the wedding space seemed to look the same. There was one pretty narrow aesthetic that seemed to permeate everything. When I planned my wedding in 2011 there just didn’t seem to be much out there for me or someone who might lean even a little on the edgier side of things. I usually describe it as a little less Martha, a little more Vogue. Not that Martha doesn’t do some very lovely things. It just wasn’t our aesthetic and we wanted our wedding to really reflect who we were in our every day lives.”

“We didn’t want to adopt a whole new style just because that’s what the wedding industry offered. Two years later (2013), I looked around and nothing had changed! And it was especially painful and obvious when you looked at wedding websites. The same three templates were still getting used at every wedding I went to and the user experience was very web 1.0. We knew we could make that experience so much more beautiful, useful, and enjoyable for couples and their guests. So we built Riley  &  Grey“

Riley & Grey  also have a really cool  blog with loads of lovely wedding inspiration and there’s plenty more creativity and imagination on their Instagram, Pinterest, Facebook and Twitter pages too!
