editorial The aim of our editorial is to connect couples with ideas for planning a wedding representative of them, as well as the talented vendors who can make their vision a reality. Our blog is home to real weddings, styled shoots, wedding planning/inspiration, and more.
Our main focus in planning our wedding was to keep the main thing the main thing. At the end of the day, who cares if the dress is wrinkled ... We would have still become one and that is what we wanted to remember - Dustin and Kallan

Our Hotlists are comprised of an exclusive, hand selected list of professionals, and this model ensures that our couples only receive the best recommendations. By setting high standards, we limit the amount of advertising we offer and our members benefit from increased exposure and less noise. Junebug offers membership for the following professional categories: Photographer, planner and designers, venues, videography, florists, hair and makeup, invitations, cakes, catering, DJs, dresses, jewelers, live music, officiants, pampering, transportation, and rentals.

case studies Joy our mission with Joy was to create advertorial content and viral Pinterest content Our team wanted to create a long-lasting, evergreen blog post for Joy, a wedding website company. Instead of crafting a post that just highlighted Joy as a brand, our team created an informative post covering everything you need to know about creating a wedding website and highlighting Joy websites throughout. To ensure this post’s success, our team created an appealing checklist graphic that was pinned to our Wedding Planning board on Pinterest. In its first month, our Joy advertorial garnered 1,400 pageviews.

There is nothing I can say that would do justice in explaining how amazingly helpful Junebug Weddings has been in growing our business, from getting referrals from the locations we are listed to our work which we are fortunate enough to have featured on the Junebug Weddings blog. The team are simply wonderful and always happy to give us statistics of the site to help us decide where to list. We’ve been with Junebug for a few years and it’s paid off! There is no question in why you should join them, you just need to join them NOW.
