Ladies and gents — it’s finally time to reveal the gorgeous new Fall/Winter 2014 cover bride! Say hello to the lovely Melissa Howard perfectly captured by North Texas wedding photographer Feather & Twine Photography! We poured through hundreds of amazing submissions from beautiful Texas brides, but we kept coming back to Melissa’s contagious smile. She looked effortlessly beautiful in her lace Matthew Christopher Sofia gown from Stardust Celebrations. You can see Melissa and hubby Ryan’s gorgeous wedding planned by Jen Rios Weddings at The Orchard wedding venue in Dallas/Fort Worth in the new issue! The couple had an amazing team of vendors including sugar bee sweets bakery, POSH Couture Rentals and The Southern Table who beautifully constructed the bouquet seen on the cover! Be one of the first to get your hands on a copy by pre-ordering online today or make plans to attend the Dallas Bridal Show this Saturday and Sunday! We’ll be there handing out copies of the new issue!
