First and foremost, congratulations are in order for our Best of 2025 winners and finalists. Pat yourselves on the back, wedding pros, you’ve earned it. Cheers to you!
Honestly, this issue was a challenge. We received double the number of submissions this time around, filled with beautiful, trend-setting ideas. Thank you to everyone who submitted! Keep them coming because I can’t wait to see what’s next.
For this edition’s fashion shoot, sleek looks took center stage against the backdrop of the iconic Milwaukee Art Museum; a huge shoutout to the fashion team who elevated the shoot to a new level. We then visited The Atrium with Events to a T to showcase the hottest wedding décor trend. Next, we headed to St. James 1868 for an appetizing spread with Mitch and Jenna Weddings, featuring three Wisconsin caterers who came together to create menus for the ultimate Midwestern couple’s wedding weekend.
Brimming with inspiration, this issue truly has it all, from wedding party fashion to food-focused advice, the latest beauty products, local love stories to inspire your day and more. But the biggest trend of the season? Hosting an event that’s true to YOU. Embrace your interests as a couple and tune out the outside noise (but always listen to your planner!). Whether you want a lodge-style wedding on the water, a garden party soirée at a country club or a luxe three-day celebration, anything is possible for your wedding day with the help of trustworthy wedding professionals. So, dream on!
