For wedding professionals, seeing your work featured on a wedding blog is more than a flattering moment, it’s an important piece of your marketing strategy. A feature helps connect you with potential clients, showcases your best work in front of a target audience, and celebrates collaboration between fellow vendors. If you’ve ever wondered how to get your wedding published and give your weddings the best chance of being accepted by wedding blog editors, today’s post is for you.

With peak wedding season winding down, now is the perfect time to revisit your galleries, organize your best images, and start preparing thoughtful blog submissions. Not only does this give you a chance to celebrate the past season’s real weddings, but it also ensures your work is front and centre as newly engaged couples begin their search for inspiration.

Here are our top tips for submitting to Vineyard Bride (and other top wedding blogs).

TELL A STORY

At the heart of every real wedding feature is a couple’s story. Wedding bloggers and readers alike want to feel the connection between two real people — why they chose their venue, the meaning behind the details, and how the day unfolded.

When preparing a wedding blog submission, it’s a good idea to gather the following information from your couple:

How they met, fell in love, and got engaged.
Why they chose their venue and wedding style.
The emotions and memories they carried through the big day.

Think of it as painting a picture. A reader should be able to envision the wedding so vividly they feel like they were there. This narrative approach is what sets apart the best wedding blogs, from fine art weddings to boho weddings, destination weddings, and even whimsical wonderland weddings or offbeat bride features.

INCLUDE A RANGE OF HIGH QUALITY IMAGES

Strong visuals are essential. We request 50–100 images with each submission, and there’s a reason for it. Every image adds another layer to the story. From romantic portraits to intricate flat lays, detail shots help showcase the kind of work that makes you a top choice for couples planning their own weddings.

A few key guidelines:

Provide a balance of portraits, candids, and detail shots.
Share high quality, properly sized images (check our submission guidelines for specifics).
Credit the professional photographer properly — photo credit is non-negotiable.

The more variety you share, the easier it is for wedding publication editors to design a beautiful submission that resonates with their target audience.

share the vendor love

No wedding is created alone. Giving credit to all the wedding vendors involved ensures everyone’s hard work is recognized and celebrated. Couples researching their own weddings often look for complete teams of vendors through a single blog post, so thorough credits are not just thoughtful—they’re a great resource for potential clients.

When submitting, always include:

A complete vendor list (names, websites, and social media handles).
The couple’s name (a small but important detail!).
Any unique details that help tell the story of the day.

FOLLOW SUBMISSION GUIDELINES

Every wedding website or wedding magazine has its own submission process, and Vineyard Bride is no exception. Following the steps outlined in our submission form saves you time, ensures your submission is reviewed more quickly, and gives your wedding the best chance of being featured.

As a general rule, a thoughtful submission that arrives with all necessary information — images, vendor list, and couple’s story — will always stand out.
