It feels like Christmas around here…the brand spanking new issue of our Winter/Spring 2018 issue of Real Weddings Magazine has arrived and we’re just giddy with excitement! So that means it’s time to announce our cover model winners for this issue—we admit that we love/hate this part of our jobs. We LOVE all four of our cover model finalists and wish we could put all of them on the covers, but alas we can only pick two covers.

So without further ado, let’s announce our cover model for the Winter cover and the Spring cover for the Winter/Spring 2018 issue of Real Weddings!

Congratulations to Christine for winning the Winter 2018 cover!

Best Sacramento Wedding Venue, Best Sacramento Wedding Flowers, Best Sacramento Wedding Dresses, Best Sacramento Wedding Planner, Best Sacramento Wedding Cake, Best Sacramento Wedding Photographer,
