Best 28 Wedding Blogs to be Featured
2024 EDITION
and all the nitty gritty details about how to submit and get published in them.
ALL THE DETAILS
It goes without saying that getting featured in a publication has been a goal for several wedding vendors since these blogs first started coming out. I made this guide initially for myself but I learned a lot from creating this informative guide and wanted to share it with people.
Most publications generally only want to see the details & decor from the events, most prefer around 100 images with a 2000px minimum via dropbox, and they want information about the event directly from the bride & groom. You can also assume that all publications are exclusive at least for 60-90 days after posting. A list of all vendors including links and instagram handles are expected. I’ve included details that I think are important when getting featured like instagram following, as well as the overall vibe purely based on my opinion. The authority score ranking is from semrush.com - the higher, the better. Instagram following from February 7th, 2024. Luxury level also based on my personal opinion.
It’s worth mentioning that some of these publications get upwards of 600 submissions per week, so they have to be very selective with what they show. Sometimes, it’s not about the wedding necessarily, maybe they have another wedding lined up that looks very similar and yours could have made the cut if it was submitted at another time, that’s just the way it goes. Half of these publications don’t give you a timeline of when they will respond, and several of those won’t respond at all. It’s probably safe to say that if you haven’t received a response within 2 months, that you’re welcome to move on.
This list could have kept going on and on, I have information on at least 10 other blogs but felt that these were the best of the best.
