Submit Your DIY Wedding

We love seeing how crafty our readers are!

For couples:

To submit your uber-cool DIY wedding, email us at info at diybride dot com and include the following:

In the body of an email as plain text (no Word, PDF or other formats are accepted)

• Your first names
• Wedding date (including year)
• Wedding location (include city, state, country, resort, etc.)
• What made your wedding creative
• What projects you DIY’ed
• What obstacles did you face in planning a DIY wedding? How did you overcome them?
• Any other details that made your wedding special

Please attach: at least 10-15 pictures of your wedding (20 – 30 is ideal), as attachments to the email. (A zipped file is ok as are individual photos; pdf, word, or other formats are not.)

For photographers and other vendors:

We are a two bright lights editorial partner. This is our preferred method of professional submissions because it’s so easy for all involved however, we also accept direct submissions.

• 10-15 pictures of the wedding (A zipped file is ok, pdf; word, or other formats are not.)
• Your name and company name
• Couple’s names
• Wedding date (including year)
• Wedding location (include city, state, country, resort, etc.)
• What made your wedding creative
• What projects were DIY’ed
• What you loved about this wedding

Everyone:

• Please make sure you have the rights to send in the images of choice. In most cases, the photographer owns the rights to the images she/he took at the wedding – the couple does not. Do ask your photog for permission before you send pro shots, please.
• Please use low-res images! My email server tends to freak out when I get large files and I end up not receiving those emails. Do NOT send links to your photos. Send the actual photos in an email, please.
• Do NOT send your submissions in any format other than text in the body of an email. NO PDF, MS Word or other file types will be accepted.
• Please send images from your wedding(s) only. Do not submit shots from other peoples’ weddings or events (unless you are the photographer or otherwise have permission to do so).
• I cannot guarantee that I’ll use every image or will feature every submission.
• It will take time for me to sort through submissions. Please be patient!
