Inspiration in every shade:
We’d love to welcome weddings with every shade of inspiration. Of course, we all love the grandiose, stunning weddings that really take our breath away, but we’d also love to shed some light on other inspirations. Let’s see some home-made weddings inspired by your own do-it-yourself projects. Your personality and style truly shine with hand-crafted and carefully created weddings, since your ideas came directly from your imagination into being. Give other brides a chance to see how you hand-crafted your wedding creations by including some detailed do-it-yourself instructions and beautiful photos of your finished products.
Inspiration doesn’t need to be expensive, either. Brides on a budget, show off your weddings as well! Share with us how you worked out your wedding to include beauty, personal style, and economy. Show off your best photos of your best bargain items. We’d love to see how you created beauty without breaking the bank.
In the midst of weddings clamoring to be unique, let’s not forget our roots. Send us weddings infused with the uniqueness of your culture. Something new and exciting can be as old as some of our most beloved tradition. Show us the best photos of your cultural wedding celebration that can inspire our world-wide community.
Whether you’re budget-conscious, crafty and creative, or unique as a birthright, send us your weddings! With all submissions, please send us a selection of 20 to 30 of your best pictures that show of uniqueness and detail, each resized to 750 pixels wide sized at 72 dpi.
Show us what you do as a wedding vendor! We welcome accessories, cakes, photography, flowers, you name it! Show us your work with weddings, and we’ll pass it on. This highlight is more than just a sales gimmick. Give our brides a reason to look into your company. The article should be based on information rather than sales motives. Please send us a polished article ready to post, along with 20 to 30 images, each resized to 750 pixels wide sizes at 72dpi, for us to choose from of your work in wedding action. Include any names, addresses or other valuable information that these future brides might need to contact you.
Photo requirements:
- We would prefer you to send in your submissions via email directly to us at ldunn@gatewaybridal.com. When uploading your content, it is best to send the pictures together in a zipped folder. This is done by selecting the photo folder with your submission pictures, right clicking, selecting Send To and selecting Compressed (zipped) folder. Please rename this folder as your first and last name_wedding date/photo date and location or if you are submitting as a vendor use vendor name_subject of the article. Email us at the address above if you are interested in sending a submission but aren’t sure of the correct format.
- We do our best to only publish new work that has not been seen on other blogs. If you have previously had your wedding photos published to a different blog, please provide us with a link to the post for our review. If your photos have been submitted to another blog and are still in the process of posting, provide us with the post pictures, content, and place of submission for evaluation. We will look at these cases individually before we decide.
- All images must come with sources credited. This goes above and beyond just the photography, because we’d like to give your vendors credit where credit is due. Watermarks on pictures are not accepted, due to the distraction they cause on each picture. Proper credit will be provided on each blog post. Please include names, websites, phone numbers, and addresses for any applicable vendors listed below:
*Since your submissions come right to us, we will be able to give you a “yay” or “nay” within a week! If we happen to not contact you within that time, your submission may have been lost in digital translation! Sometimes different formats don’t arrive to us due to the format. If you don’t hear from us, email us at ldunn@gatewaybridal.com because we just love your features!
