The Best Wedding Sites Magazine is here . . .

I have super exciting news to share with you today as the first issue of The Best Wedding Sites Magazine is here. This issue is all about sharing love with your special someone as well as with your guests. You'll see a particular focus on the red and pink color palette too. I've even had bloggers and wedding vendors join me in sharing their Top 5 picks of their favorite handmade "love" gifts.

Along with a more indepth look at the Weding Vendor Challenges that you probably remember seeing for Valentine's Day on the blog, you will also see a Red Hot Engagement Session, spectacular real weddings and even a table setting that all incorporate red or pink into the color palette in one way or another. And, lastly I end this issue with a super sweet Love photo shoot that strays a bit from the color palette, but still represents love beautifully, and that is peach. Plus, there's a special discount code from Daisy Days that is valid thru the end of March.

I want to thank all of the amazing vendors that have contributed to this issue to make it such a wonderful first issue. And, a special thank you to Jen of Blush Printables for helping me design the cover and the interior vendor challenge pages.

Any vendors interested in being a part of a future issue, please send me an email bestweddingsites{at}gmail{dot}com
