Following the 10th anniversary issue’s reveal, we are beyond ready to share the bridal fashion editorial behind our gorgeous new cover! Introducing Love in Bloom — a curated collection of fashion forward gowns and menswear alongside breathtaking floral installs, all captured by the ever-talented Stephanie Brazzle Photography. Set at the stunning crisp white space of Firefly Gardens, our favorite local bridal boutiques supplied their trendiest new fashions, in every design from Victorian-inspired to tassel-adorned, to inspire every Texas bride. Our bride looked stunning alongside her groom in each look thanks to hair and makeup customized for each dress by Grand Slam Glam and fashion styling by Lindsey Zamora Events. Each bridal ensemble was completed with sparkling jewelry from The True Gem. As the finishing touch to this picture perfect scenery, Lush Couture Floral hand-constructed the most incredible floral installations throughout the venue, as seen on the cover surrounding a pedestal from Beautiful Event Rentals, along with a handful of dreamy bouquets. This is one editorial you will not want to miss! Scroll through for nearly endless amounts for bridal fashion inspo, plus watch the unbelievable behind the scenes video by the incredible photo and video duo, Tyler + Lindsey. Happy Friday!

Pop the bubbly because we are officially celebrating 10 years! Hooray! And now without further ado… we present our 10th anniversary issue’s brand new cover captured by Stephanie Brazzle Photography! This shiny new issue was most certainly a labor of love, along with our 21 page fashion editorial at Firefly Gardens, titled Love in Bloom, featured front and center, and we can’t wait for you all to see every last page. It’s hard to miss the incredible floral design from one of our 10+ issue partners, Lush Couture Floral, who wove her floral magic throughout the shoot, complementing our stunning model couple atop a pedestal from Beautiful Event Rentals. Our model bride stunned alongside her dashing groom in a Pronovias Colombia evasé tulle gown with an illusion bodice design with embroidered dots and 3D flowers, available at Lulu’s Bridal. A low, no-fuss ponytail allows the focus to be on the bride’s beautiful facial features while her glamorous makeup features highlighter, a bold lip and a full set of fluttery lashes from Grand Slam Glam. The ensemble was accented with fine jewelry from The True Gem thanks to the fashion styling of Lindsey Zamora Events. The groom’s rose-hued tuxedo was the perfect modern touch to the scene.

Congrats to Stephanie Brazzle for snagging her third Brides of North Texas cover! You can see this oh-so-romantic editorial packed full of the trendiest bridal gowns in the new issue on pages 75-95 – alongside a collection of incredible wedding inspiration from the very best wedding pros in DFW, plus we’ll be sharing the unbelievable behind the scenes video from Tyler + Lindsey later this week (stay tuned!). The new mag will hit newsstands in February, but you can be one of the first to get your hands on the celebratory 10th Anniversary issue by pre-ordering today – plus we’re offering free shipping on orders of 2 or more in honor of the cover reveal! Cheers!
