That’s right folks, the Summer/Fall 2011 issue of Real Weddings Magazine arrives at our offices tomorrow, but we’re just too excited to keep a lid on the news any longer!

Congratulations to Sacramento area real bride, Lindsay Soldati, for being chosen as our cover model winner!

On the Summer 2011 Cover (above): On Lindsay: dress from Miosa Bride, hair flower from Adorn Me, necklace from QVC, flowers by Natural Flair Custom Floral Designs. Hair by Laura Milo and make-up by Jenifer Haupt. For full credits, see bottom of post.

Lindsay, along with her other real bride cover model finalists, April Fetch and Breia Boswell, were chosen from hundreds of entries in our cover model contest. We’re thrilled to have her grace the cover of our Summer 2011 issue, and to have all three of these lovely ladies grace the cover of our Fall 2011 issue!

Back in March, we poked and protted these girls at an all day photo shoot at the exquisite Arden Hills Resort Club & Spa. Featuring local gowns, local floral designers, local hair and make-up teams and the incomparable Jackie Willard from Jacqueline Photography, our cover model photo shoot truly was simply spectacular!
We’ll share more photos from this shoot soon, we promise! But for now, we had to share these gorgeous covers with you!
