Since we’re spilling the beans about our upcoming covers, let’s do it for the upcoming covers of our special wedding planning tool, Real Weddings Magazine’s The Bride’s Guide!
One of the super cool things about this planner is that we print TWO covers (just like we do for our Real Weddings Magazine!). So we get to feature even more real brides on our covers…scroll down for a sneak peek!
But first, here’s the back-story: for this upcoming issue of Real WeddingsMagazine, we teamed up with not one, but TWO talented design teams to put together our decor inspiration stories—and for our models for these two photo shoots, our friends at Sparkle Bridal Couture connected us with two of their beautiful Sacramento-area real brides: Jasmine and Amber. These lovely ladies were fantastic models—they let our team of wedding professionals dress them up, and then they strutted their stuff for our cameras in the early fall!
We’ll show you more photos from these shoots in the coming weeks but for now, without further ado, we present the Winter/Spring 2013 covers of Real Weddings Magazine’s The Bride Guide featuring Jasmine Aguila and Amber Williams! Thank you ladies for being gorgeous cover models!
