This issue of California Wedding Day is a stunning work of beauty. I don’t say this lightly, considering I have been the editor-in-chief of more than 30 magazines over the past 12 years. We traveled near and far to capture the latest styles for brides and grooms. At Enchantment Resort in Sedona, we focused on fashionable outfits for all those special wedding events, from the bridal shower to the after-party. Since we couldn’t jet off to Europe, we journeyed to Temecula’s dreamy Europa Village to showcase chic, fashion-forward gowns from leading designers, including Sébastien Luke, Netta BenShabu, Kim Kassas, Liz Martinez and others. We elevated men’s fashion to a new level with dapper looks from Friar Tux.
And the fashion influences don’t end there: Our breathtaking editorial by Elle Render Events and Draping by Kim is an architectural wonder that tells a love story with swaths of fabric. And the real weddings in this issue are a divine collection of lovely palettes and romantic settings.
Within these pages, there is something for every bride’s walk down the aisle, and I hope you find inspiration that makes your heart beat a little quicker.
