And, wait for it…here’s the third of our three covers for the 2014 The Planning Guide (formerly The Bride’s Guide). Our editor, Wendy, literally squealed with joy at seeing this photo. As a child of the ’80s, she was DYING to do this look…think of all of the big hair bands and acts of the ’80s: old-school Madonna, Bon Jovi, Def Leppard…yeah, you get the idea. So when she saw this shot of real brides Melissa and Ashley doing a little big-hair-head-banging she just HAD to put it on the cover!
