Your big day may be over, but the memories are just beginning!
We would love to hear all about your special day and showcase it in our Real Weddings section. This is your chance to share the unique details, the laughter, the tears, and the unforgettable moments that made your wedding truly one-of-a-kind. Whether it was a romantic beachfront ceremony, a cozy backyard celebration, or an elegant affair in a grand venue, your story can inspire other couples planning their big day.
Tell us everything—from how you met and the proposal, to the planning process and the little personal touches that made your day unique. We'd love to hear about the highlights, the surprises, the challenges, and, of course, the joy and love that filled the day. Share your photos, anecdotes, and advice for other couples, and let your love story shine!
We would love to have some bright, high-quality, eye-catching images that capture the essence of your day—from the preparation and ceremony to the celebration and special details that made it uniquely yours. We typically feature around 30 images, including a range of shots from the venue, details, and of course, the happy couple! Inclusivity is important to us, and we welcome stories from all types of weddings.
To get started, simply get in touch with us via email, and we can discuss the next steps. We'll guide you through the process and provide more details on how to submit your story.
When you email us, we'll need the following essentials:
Basic Information

The Proposal Story
We'd love to know more about your journey! Share how you met, how long you were together before getting engaged, and all the details of your proposal—when, where, and how it happened. Tell us how long you spent planning your wedding and what the planning process was like for you.
The Fashion
We're excited to hear about your style! Tell us what you both wore on your big day and where you found your attire and accessories. Who was in your wedding party, and what roles did they play? And, of course, we'd love to know what the wedding party wore, from bridesmaids to groomsmen!
The Wedding Day
Tell us why you chose your venue(s) and the color scheme or theme for your big day. Did you have any special readings during the ceremony, and what was on the menu?

And finally, what was your favourite moment of the day?
Lastly, some additional information
Share with us whether you had a gift list and if you've planned or already enjoyed a honeymoon or minimoon. Did you use a wedding directory to find your suppliers? Were there any challenges you faced while planning? And finally, what was your overall wedding budget?
