We love a lot of things at Calgary Bride, most importantly – we love love! Weddings are one of the most exciting, creative, joyous adventures of life and they come in all styles, sizes and they happen all over the world. They incorporate traditions of family, culture and the couple, and every wedding is unique. And we can say honestly that we love every single one of them.
At CalgaryBride.ca, we feature Rocky Mountain weddings and Southern Alberta weddings as well as the work of wedding professionals from across Canada who help make wedding dreams come true. So why should you feature your wedding on CalgaryBride.ca?
Let's take a moment and reflect on your wedding planning process – what did you do? You looked at photos of other people's weddings! On blogs, on Facebook, on Pinterest, on Instagram – other brides shared their wedding day with you in order to inspire your research and help you make planning decisions. By submitting your Real Wedding to CalgaryBride.ca, you're helping shape the planning process for the couples who are just starting out on their planning journey – from things as big as your venue to as small as the ribbon on your stationery.
Submitting your Real Wedding to CalgaryBride.ca also helps celebrate the vendors who worked so hard to make your wedding come to life. By featuring your wedding, you're giving recognition and credit to the people who have spent hours working on every detail of your wedding. CalgaryBride.ca gives you the chance to thank them and celebrate them, and sing their praises to other couples looking to hire their wedding vendors!
So how do you get featured? First things first! Talk to your photographer and tell them you'd love to be featured – it's important to get their permission before you submit as you'll need their help to gather the images and tell your story. Next, check in with a few of your main vendors and let them know you'd like to thank them by submitting your wedding to be featured.
The next part is easy – email us at [email protected] with a few photos from your wedding and voila! You've submitted! Our Online Editor will get back to you within a few days and let you know if your wedding would be a good fit for our audience. It's important to note that we can only feature weddings with professional photographs.
Feature Weddings consist of 15 – 20 images that tell the story of your wedding. Here's a few examples of the photos that are the most popular with our audience.

Additionally, there's a Submissions Form we ask you to fill out which gives us an idea of what inspired your wedding and your favourite parts of the day, as well as the chance to list all your vendors so we can give everyone proper credit.
We're so excited to see your submissions!
