WELCOME

From the Editor

If you’re planning a wedding, you’ve probably noticed the seemingly endless supply of inspiration available from sources like Pinterest, Instagram, and wedding blogs. With all of that information just a click away, I’m glad you chose to pick up this magazine and flip through the pages—I like your style!

While you’ll find Weddings in Arkansas in these online spheres as well, I’m still a fan of analog experiences. So much of what I do every day takes place in the digital realm (emails, so many emails!), and I find it refreshing to sit back and fall into one of my favorite magazines. I’ll relax with a throw blanket and a cup of coffee, start reading and, before I know it, the issue is covered in dog-eared pages and sticky notes. It’s a slower, more meaningful experience than scrolling, and I encourage you to approach wedding prep the same way.

Planning a wedding can be hectic to say the least. Look for moments to pause. Plan a date night with your fiancé where you had your first dinner out together. Ask your grandparents what was special about their own wedding day. Keep a mental snapshot of every dress you try on and every cake you taste. In the grand scheme of things, your engagement— and wedding day—will seem to fly by, and you’ll want those memories to revisit after the confetti has settled. Best wishes!
