Here's what you have to do first:
Download and complete the online real-life wedding reader sheet from this page. Send us the completed form, along with three pictures from your wedding
- one of you and your groom together
- a shot of your reception room showing the tables/flowers/decorations etc
- you and your bridesmaids
The pictures can be any format, prints or on a disc. But do check with your photographer first, since they usually retain the copyright you will need their permission before they can be used.
The weddings we print in the magazine are usually the ones with lots of ‘details' that will inspire other brides as they plan their big day. For example, a strong theme, lots of flowers, interesting table details, an unusual venue etc. We also prefer to see reportage photography and tend not to use overly formal shots.
How we make our decision
As you can imagine, we get inundated with weddings and we cannot use every one - much as we would like to - so please don't be too disappointed if you don't get chosen. If you're one of the lucky ones whose wedding is chosen, our real-life weddings editor Maia Morris will contact you to arrange an interview. This can be either face-to-face, by telephone or by email, whichever you feel most comfortable with. Please note that there may be a delay of six months or more before your wedding appears in the magazine.
Note about photographs and copyright:
If you're submitting your photos, please state if you don’t want them used or passed on to a third party without prior permission from both you and your photographer.
