The Spring Issue of Real Weddings Magazine Has Arrived!

We love the changing of the seasons, and with that brings our brand spanking new Spring 2012 cover of Real Weddings Magazine featuring our cover model winner Jessica Nomicos!
Copies have hit newsstands from The Bay Area through Tahoe, but at select Barnes & Noble stores throughout the Sacramento region, there are special copies that are polybagged with a bonus copy of The Bride’s Guide! So if you haven’t been to one of the area bridal shows and picked up your complimentary copy of both the Spring 2012 issue of Real Weddings Magazine and The Bride’s Guide, then be sure to head to your local Barnes & Noble store and get your combo copies today!

On the Spring 2012 Cover (above): On Jessica: dress from Always Elegant Bridal & Tuxedo, headpieces by Emilliner, flowers by By the Gate. Hair by Jamey Amin and make-up by Caitlin Herrera. .
