Your Wedding Day is on fire! Of course, I don’t mean that in the literal sense, rather, the staff and I are totally thrilled over the contents of this new issue!
Each issue begins with a theme; a single tiny spark and from that spark, an ember slowly grows. For this issue, our theme was texture, texture, texture. With this as our kindling, we began selecting the environmental spaces in which our photo shoots would happen, and in turn it influenced the gowns and accessories we selected and the designs for the cakes and bouquets. Selecting Montecito’s famous Lotusland for our fashion feature, with its sumptuous gardens virtually overflowing with exotic plants, exuding an abundance of textured landscape, set out enthusiasm ablaze. For our lifestyle department, in which we feature various pleasures of life such as chocolate or the beauty of a tea cup, it became natural to feature exquisite couture linens. As you turn the pages to the event design feature, our theme of texture maintains a strong role—each designer incorporating fabulous, versatile linen with various elements layered upon another, creating a multi-faceted textured design.
The YWD staff is especially aglow over the article, “Shades of Green,” which delivers an important message on how couples can honor their environment—the world around us—as they honor each other on their wedding day. The article offers easily-accessed suggestions for bringing an “eco-consciousness” to your day. With the US wedding industry being $72 billion dollars-strong each year, if only 3% to 5% of the nation’s 2.5 million annual weddings “went green,” that would mean an almost $4
billion dollar-support base for environmentally-
based

businesses. As you make plans for your wedding
day and your bright futures together, this article helps you make plans
for the future of your Mother Earth.
And lastly, the “hottest” new feature beginning with this issue, making your wedding planning even easier, we’ve created the YWD Directory and Resource Guide,
which organizes all of the information you’ll need on wedding resources
and locations. We designed this handy guide specifically for your
convenience, and at half the size of YWD Magazine, the
directory, featuring custom-selected vendors and locations known to
provide exceptional service, fits neatly into your pocket or purse.
This is the best YWD ever, and I think you can now understand why the staff at Your Wedding Day
is all fired up! You’ll want to read this issue cover-to-cover—don’t
miss a thing—and you’ll be glowing too as the plans for your fabulous
day unfold between our pages: first a spark, then a flame, and finally
becoming the brilliant glow which is your dream.
