We’re crazy excited to release our Summer/Fall 2014 issue this week, and so, it’s time to reveal our new cover model finalists and our cover model winner! Can we get a drumroll please?
Congratulations to Sacramento area real bride, Rosette Duldulao, for being chosen as our cover model winner! Rosette graces the upcoming cover of our Fall 2014 issue — here’s a sneak peek of her upcoming cover coming out in August 2014!
On the Fall 2014 Cover (above): On Rosette: Dress from Enchanted Bridal Shoppe, Headpiece by Ruby & Cordelia’s Fine Millinery and Fancy Good, Necklace from Stella & Dot, Earrings from Macy’s, Flowers by Design with Floraé
As always, we picked three amazing real brides from the hundreds who entered our cover model contest to serve as our fashion models for our shoot at The Landing Resort & Spa this past March. We are honored to have Ciara, Nicole and Rosette as this issue’s three cover model finalists! These uber easy going, beautiful and funny young women let us poke and prod them, dress them up and make them up at our all-day shoot — all with the beauty of The Landing Resort & Spa and landscape of Lake Tahoe in the background. Ciara, Nicole and Rosette, our sincere thanks for being such great Real Weddings Magazine cover model contest finalists!
In the coming weeks, you’ll get to meet each one of our cover model finalists individually, see all of the dazzling dresses, the amazing locale, the gorgeous bouquets, the fabulous hair and makeup, and all of the wonderful accessories all caught by Bogdan Condor Photography, in our upcoming blog post series, “Looking Pretty by the Lake.” So stay tuned!
But wait…there’s more! We’re thrilled to release our Summer 2014 cover — out this week! — which features all three of our cover model finalists: Ciara, Nicole and Rosette on the wedding terrace at The Landing Resort & Spa with the snowcapped mountains and beautiful Lake Tahoe in the background!
