WE want your Nuptials, your creative dream shoots, or your professional expertise to influence the next generation of weddings!
what we're looking for:
-Wedding professionals who offer something unique
-bespoke wedding Attire that you wouldn't find in a typical store
-florals that look organic and sprawling
-wedding cakes that pinterest doesn't even
have yet
-incorporation of colors, unusual textures, and unique themes
-a wedding where the couple's character truly is on display without apology
​
what we're not looking for:
-Wedding professionals that are traditional and are everywhere
-another run of the mill wedding gown or suit
-roundy moundy florals
-uninspired decor that was purchased for the sake of having something
-naked and/or all white wedding cakes
-weddings that took place in a barn or church (unless there's a surprise)
​
​
GUIDELINES:
-PHOTOS MUST BE SUBMITTED BY A WEDDING Professional OR BY THE COUPLE. IF YOU ARE NOT THE COPYRIGHT HOLDER (TYPICALLY THE PHOTOGRAPHER), PLEASE HAVE PERMISSIONS READY.
-WE DON'T CARE WHEN THE WEDDING TOOK PLACE. IT COULD HAVE HAPPENED 10 YEARS AGO. WE JUST WANT TO BE BLOWN AWAY BY THE CREATIVITY.
-WE DON'T DEMAND EXCLUSIVITY.
-PHOTOS WITH CONTRAST AND DETAIL WILL BE PRIORITIZED OVER THOSE THAT ARE LIGHT AND AIRY.
-Overall, we hope to inspire couples by showcasing creative ideas/talent for their wedding.
-We don't care if the photos are from a real wedding or a stylized one. We just want to be inspired and our readers to be the same.
