If it's a direct copy and you sell it, then yes that is stealing.rebekahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17999264774530749624noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1411507933738225363.post-38573571727611237392008-08-11T16:59:00.000-05:002008-08-11T16:59:00.000-05:00Hi Rachel,As half of that duo, I have to agree tha...Hi Rachel,<BR/>As half of that duo, I have to agree that I don't really think there's such a thing as stealing. I like to think that other brides out there are influenced and inspired from my ideas. <BR/><BR/>On the other hand, I have a strong belief that any bride should add creative touches for her own wedding that reflects her hobbies, interests and personal tastes. Its one thing to recreate every idea you see and love, but to keep an event cohesive, a bride must constantly be editing ideas until in the end, the final result is a reflection of herself.Kim @ Inspired Goodnesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00667328503790756493noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1411507933738225363.post-86518236892447750152008-08-08T01:36:00.000-05:002008-08-08T01:36:00.000-05:00Do you know how we define creativity (in the creat...Do you know how we define creativity (in the creative field in which I work)? The application of old ideas to new things.<BR/><BR/>As Linda says, we're constantly "twisting and reinventing" - that is creativity in itself.<BR/><BR/>And as Jenna said, people put these things out there knowing they will potentially be copied.<BR/><BR/>You know what? If I found out that someone I didn't know had copied my entire wedding theme, I would think that was so flattering! If it were my best friend, I would want to kill her...<BR/><BR/>So, nowhere is this 'stealing' more appropriate than in the blogosphere, because that's what we're doing - sharing our plans and ideas.<BR/><BR/>As long as you give credit where it's due on your blog (as you have) go ahead - they'll be flattered!Cate Subrosahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11371172824707301749noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1411507933738225363.post-75587063275131341022008-08-07T23:26:00.000-05:002008-08-07T23:26:00.000-05:00Hey Rachel!

Most of the time it is because we have seen it somewhere else. I think the key is to always infuse everything you do with your own personality and put a unique spin to it...then you own it. Even the greatest painters, playwrights, and musicians are inspired by each other. Your wedding is going to be gorgeous--I can't wait!Melanie Johnsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11659798962154582376noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1411507933738225363.post-12682845853716561742008-08-07T15:32:00.000-05:002008-08-07T15:32:00.000-05:00I agree with blab.
