Congratulations from the Associate Publisher!
Do you know what made this second issue of élite Bridal Magazine so much more exciting? Having an editor who just got engaged! The moment we stopped squealing in excitement from the ring being placed on Kirsten’s finger, we began meeting with our advertisers asking all kinds of questions. Luckily we have a magazine filled with experienced bridal professionals who were able to lead us in the right direction, as they will do for you when you plan your big day.
In this issue, we have some great How To’s, Wedding Trends, Spotlights and Real Wedding Features to inspire you as your grand event starts to fall into place.
Check out our website, www.scvelitemagazine.com, for more information and links to our Pinterest page, Instagram feed and Facebook page for more inspiration! You will also find direct links to our wedding experts and exquisite venues featured in this issue.
We would love to hear from you and appreciate your social media participation using #elitebridalmag. You can follow Kirsten’s wedding plans by searching for #weddingsmiths2017.
Cheers to a very happy ever after,
Amanda Benson
