LETTER FROM THE PUBLISHERS

| ASHLEY AND KAMI |

The 2022 Wedding Boom is upon us, and we couldn’t be more excited for what is expected to be a record breaking year for weddings. After back-to-back, unpredictable wedding seasons, the wedding community is stronger than it’s ever been, and Brides of Houston is more prepared than ever to help couples connect with the best local vendors and realize their dream day.

As you may already know, Brides of Houston launched a beautiful and brand-new website designed to help you simplify your search for vendors, ideas and inspiration. Follow our stepby-step guide and snag our free wedding planning checklist to get you started on your journey to the altar. Ready to look for vendors? You can easily search by category or ideas and styles to build your dream vendor team. Plus, explore our vendor profiles of the best Houston wedding pros.

Once you’ve explored our website, we highly recommend joining the Wed Society® community — a place where the engaged can engage! This highly curated community is the perfect place to connect with other couples actively planning going through the same process as you! It’s also a place to ask questions, share insights and get exclusive access to our expert editorial team.

Finally, get ready to be inspired by the Spring/Summer issue! Make Your Way Through Your Day, starting on page 17, walks you through the entire wedding day, from your ceremony to reception; plus, we’ve got design insights from HTX planners in our Wedding Walkthrough editorial starting on page 33. And, if you recognize the details on pages 71-79, we won’t be surprised! These Love Stories were based on our very favorite romantic movies! Just starting to hire your vendor team? Look no further than our hottest new editorial, Planner Portfolio on page 81, where you’ll meet a few of our incredible Houston wedding planners, while our Bridal Buzz editorial on page 15 dishes out the latest scoop on trending wedding must-haves you’ll 100% want to budget for. Fashion is always a focus here, and for those on the hunt for an iconic bridal look, our La Luna fashion editorial, on page 42, is for you! This shoot features a collection of exquisite bridal gowns each accented with celestial-inspired details to create a bridal style that’s truly out of this world. Speaking of creating, flip through the An Artful Anthology on page 55 for endless inspiration, from palette to place setting.

Excited yet?! You’ve absolutely picked the perfect time to plan! We’re here to help you enjoy the process every step of the way. Enjoy this spectacular issue, the all-new Brides of Houston website and our Wed Society® community created just for you!

Cheers,
