We’re so excited about the new issue of Real Weddings coming out this week, and with it, we crown new real cover models!
How do we pick our covers? Good question! This issue, we did four styled shoots featuring real brides and real grooms (aka real couples) as our models; and from these shoots we would pick the covers—two print covers: one for the Winter-print cover, one for the Spring-print cover; and two digital covers: one for the Winter-digital cover, and one for the Spring-digital cover.
And, if you’ve followed our blog at all, you know that picking the final covers for our magazines has to be one of the toughest jobs we have. It truly is a great problem to have, it means we have a lot of great choices! But as always: It. Was. So. Hard.
But the time has come to reveal our cover model winners! Can we get a drum roll please?
