FROM THE editor
T
en issues. We can't believe it! Though we skipped a year during the
pandemic, we're so excited to showcase our TENTH anniversary
issue featuring real weddings, our incredible local wedding industry
and gorgeous inspiration that absolutely helped other couples planning
their special days.
Your love stories have been such a joy to share throughout the years,
and perhaps even more so this year as we celebrate the milestone. I am
so extremely honored to play a part in your lives, however small, because
not only are we helping couples plan their days and sharing the love for
hardworking local vendors, but your stories make for such an incredible
keepsake for you, family and friends. We hope there are bridebook couples
showing off their issue to their kids now, and falling in love all over again
when they reread their stories. What a privilege and hope!
The traditional decade-long anniversary gift is tin or aluminum, which
symbolizes the strength and resilience of your marriage. Since we can't get
clever with a tin cover(!), let's instead celebrate 10 years of bridebook by
discovering 10 beautiful things inside this issue that you absolutely love.
Don't worry, you can keep going after 10 too, because we know you're going
to find so much beauty in these pages that it's too hard to stop there!
The weddings this year? Whew, they are quite possibly the most beautiful
yet, from the tiniest details, bold colors, hot shoes(!) and, of course, the
happiest couples celebrating the most wonderful days. My personal favorite
editorial feature is about animals, because as a dedicated dog mom, I outright
swoon when you're able to find a place for your furry family member in the
wedding day. There's simply nothing cuter than your dogs in bowties and
grinning at the camera as their paw-rents tie the knot! But don't worry,
you'll find so much more inspiration in these pages, plus get to know awardwinning
vendors and venues eager to make your wedding dreams come true.
Thank you, thank you, to our couples who took a chance to share their
love with readers, to the wedding industry for their support and partnership
and to you, dear readers, for 10 wonderful issues of bridebook. We are forever
grateful, and cheering you on as you celebrate new lives together and forge
a new path of marital bliss, whatever that looks like for you.
Congratulations!
