About Us
Our Vow to You…
Your wedding day: one of the most special days of your life. Planning it can be fun, exciting and stressful.
Real Weddings Magazine wants to help make this special time the least stressful and most enjoyable that it can be. We are committed to presenting you with a publication and online resource that is fresh and original—covering it all using local resources: fashions, jewelry, etiquette, the legal stuff, honeymoons, gifts, beauty and of course, real weddings. We hope to entertain, inspire and captivate your imagination —and ultimately help you to create a day, and a lifetime, worthy of celebration and remembrance.
Tell us what you think—we want the good, the bad and the ugly (okay, maybe not so much of the ugly). Call me at 916-988-9888 x102 or email me directly: wendy@stylemg.com.

Welcome to the Real Weddings Magazine blog!
Real Weddings Magazine started in June of 2007, originally as Sierrastyle Weddings Magazine. We recently "refined" our name to be more reflective of what our magazine is about...real weddings. But, not just real weddings. Our goal is to give our readers, you gorgeous brides, inspirational ideas, stories, tips and trends, information and vendor lists to help you plan your special day, no matter the budget. We feature wedding vendors from Sacramento to the Sierra: phenomenal wedding photographers, picturesque wedding venues, gorgeous gowns, sumptuous flowers, delectable cakes, and more! We invite you to share your ideas with us!
For more, be sure to visit www.realweddingsmag.com.
And, as always, we love your feedback.
