Letter from the Publishers

| ASHLEY AND KAMI |

It’s safe to say that weddings are BACK. After years navigating through a pandemic, weddings have made a comeback in a big way, and Brides of Austin is here for it! As videos continue to dominate the social media scene, we are leaning in and sharing more inspiration than ever on the @bridesofaustin Instagram Reels and TikTok via @wedsociety.

From intimate affairs to uber personalized details, Brides of Austin is sharing the latest trends throughout our website, magazine and social channels and the best part, every carefully curated image is something you can source locally in Austin + Hill Country. And, we’ve made it even easier to connect with the talented wedding pros behind each image – visit our new Wedding Vendor Lookbook starting on page 81 and scan a vendor’s QR code for direct access to get a quote or view their portfolio. Already on bridesofaustin.com? Peruse the Find Vendors page for a complete directory of our favorite local Austin vendors.

And whether you’re newly engaged or deep into planning, we highly recommend you sign up on our website to receive the newly-released Austin Wedding Planning Guide. This FREE interactive magazine offers exclusive planning insight for each phase in the planning process, including a comprehensive planning checklist, Canva mood board templates, planning worksheets and more!

Just kicking off the planning process? You’re in for a treat, because we’re sharing the most planning tips we’ve ever included in a magazine! Jump to page 63 to read our Planner Tutorial, a comprehensive guide on how to design a cohesive event or read all about the planning process in Here Comes the Guide on page 49, both directly from the best local Austin area wedding planners. Beauty Breakdown on page 44 just may be our fave how-to guide featuring hair and makeup products to get the season’s must-have bridal looks. Plus, check out the Wedding Day Timeline on page 25 for unique wedding ideas you may not have thought of. The inspiration beyond this page is never ending, too! We’re sharing our favorite trending wedding elements – everything from desserts to stationery – in File Under: Inspired! on page 35.

Garden glamour takes on a whole new look in Flora on page 29, and we’re even sharing curated Spotify playlists for the most important parts of the day on page 60 with Playlists: Perfected.
