How We Got Featured on Bespoke Bride (And How You Can Get Wedding Media Coverage Too)

One of the questions we get asked all the time is:

"How do wedding planners get featured in wedding blogs and publications?"

The truth is that getting media coverage can feel intimidating when you're first starting out. There are hundreds of wedding blogs, magazines, and online publications, and figuring out who to contact, what to send, and how to pitch your work can seem overwhelming.

That's why we're starting a new series on our blog.

Every time one of our weddings gets published, we'll share exactly how it happened, what worked, what we submitted, and the tools we used so other wedding professionals can learn from our experience.

Today, we're excited to share our latest feature in Bespoke Bride.

The article showcases a beautiful waterfront wedding filled with plum florals, incredible design details, live pasta stations, and a stunning chuppah overlooking the bay. We were honored to be part of such a memorable event and even more excited to see it shared with a wider audience.

One of the best parts of this feature is that it was entirely editorial. There was no paid placement involved. The editors selected the wedding because they believed it would be valuable and inspiring for their readers.

In today's wedding industry, authentic editorial coverage remains one of the most powerful ways to build credibility, improve online visibility, and connect with future clients.

How We Submitted This Wedding

For this particular feature, we used a platform called Two Bright Lights.

If you're a wedding planner, photographer, florist, venue, or other wedding professional, you've probably heard of them before.

Two Bright Lights helps wedding professionals organize real wedding submissions and connect with editors looking for fresh content. The platform makes it significantly easier to package weddings professionally and distribute them to publications that may be a good fit.

While some larger national publications may require more customized outreach and relationship building, we found that Two Bright Lights was a fantastic tool for getting this wedding in front of the right editors.

The submission process was straightforward:

• We gathered the professional photography gallery.
• We organized the event details and vendor credits.
• We packaged the story through Two Bright Lights.
• The wedding was reviewed by editors.
• Bespoke Bride selected the wedding for publication.

Simple, effective, and well worth the effort.

Why Editorial Features Matter

Wedding publication features provide benefits that go far beyond simply seeing your work online.

Editorial coverage can help:

• Increase brand visibility
• Improve search engine rankings
• Create valuable backlinks to your website
• Build trust with prospective clients
• Showcase your work to new audiences
• Strengthen relationships with fellow vendors

For us, every publication becomes another opportunity to tell the story behind the event and celebrate the incredible vendor teams that helped bring it to life.

Is Two Bright Lights Still Worth Using?

Many industry professionals remember when Two Bright Lights was one of the largest wedding submission platforms in the industry.

The wedding media landscape has changed over the years, and there are now many ways to pursue publication opportunities. However, we still believe Two Bright Lights remains a valuable resource, especially for wedding professionals looking to begin building their editorial portfolio.

It's not necessarily the only strategy we use, and some of our future publication stories will involve more direct outreach and customized pitching, but for this feature it worked beautifully.

The Beginning of Our Publication Journey Series

This article is the first in what we hope becomes a long-running series.

Every time one of our weddings, events, or projects gets featured in a publication, we'll share:

• Where it was published
• How we secured the feature
• What submission strategy we used
• Lessons learned from the process
• Tips other event professionals can apply

Our goal is to create a transparent resource for wedding planners, event professionals, photographers, and creative businesses who want to learn more about earning media coverage.

Thank You, Bespoke Bride

A huge thank you to the editorial team at Bespoke Bride for featuring this beautiful celebration and sharing the story with your readers.

We're honored to be included and excited to continue sharing future publication successes with our clients, vendor partners, and fellow wedding professionals.
