Don’t know about our cover model contest?  Well, here are the details…

Each issue of Real Weddings Magazine  features real local-area brides on its cover!

Hundreds of real brides enter, and ultimately three are chosen. Those three real brides get to participate in a day-long photo shoot where they get the chance to vogue it up in front of the camera.

All three of our real bride models will appear on one of our Real Weddings Magazine covers (like the current Winter 2012 cover featured above with our cover brides Crystal, Missy and Jessica) and then ultimately, one of our real bride models will be chosen as our cover model winner and appear on the cover of Real WeddingsMagazine on her own (like the upcoming Spring 2012 cover featured below with our cover model winner Jessica).

For the Summer/Fall 2012 contest, if you’re a local bride or a local just-married (cannot be married before June 1, 2011) and you’ve got cover aspirations, then you need to enter! The deadline to get your entry in is TONIGHT, February 6, 2012. Be sure to read all of the guidelines and rules for entry on the entry form to make sure that you qualify.

Or, you can email us at info@realweddingsmag.com and we’ll email you the entry form.

If you’re going to enter…one word of advice, show us your personality on the answers to the questions — we love working with brides who have a lot of spunk, personality, humor and who are just darned cool girls. Be sure that your answers really reflect who you are! Oh, and don’t forget to include photos that really show your personality coming through as well!

Also, be sure to read all of the rules to make sure that you’re eligible to enter and are game to participate!

We cannot wait to see your entries so get them in soon! And, again, we have a mail drop slot at our offices at 120 Blue Ravine Road, Suite 5 in Folsom, so you can drop the up until the deadline of 11:59 p.m. TONIGHT, February 6th!

It was all captured on film (well, not really film but on memory cards) by the uber-fab Emily Heizer of Emily Heizer Photography. Emily’s such a tease — she only posted one image for us to see — we’re DYING for more, of course…but, in the meantime, we just had to share an image of this very special couple with you!

Congrats Terra & Kale — thank you for letting us be a part of your special day!

]]> http://blog.realweddingsmag.com/congrats-to-terra-kale/feed/ 1 Today’s the LAST DAY to Enter Real Weddings Cover Model Contest! http://blog.realweddingsmag.com/todays-the-last-day-to-enter-real-weddings-cover-model-contest/ http://blog.realweddingsmag.com/todays-the-last-day-to-enter-real-weddings-cover-model-contest/#comments Mon, 15 Aug 2011 21:54:56 +0000 Real Weddings Magazine http://blog.realweddingsmag.com/?p=6807

Do you want to be on the cover of Real Weddings Magazine?

Are you a greater Sacramento-area recent bride or bride-to-be?

Well, then, read on dear brides! (Hurry, the deadline to enter is tonight at midnight!) We have a mail slot, so get you can drop your entry off up until midnight tonight!

Each issue of Real Weddings Magazine features real local-area brides on its cover!

Hundreds of real brides enter, and ultimately three are chosen. Those three real brides get to participate in a day-long photo shoot where they get the chance to vogue it up in front of the camera.

All three of our real bride models will appear on one of our Real Weddings Magazine covers (like the upcoming Fall2011 cover featured above with our cover brides April, Breia and Lindsay) and then ultimately, one of our real bride models will be chosen as our cover model winner and appear on the cover of Real Weddings Magazine on her own (like the Summer 2011 cover featured below with our cover model winner Lindsay).

For the Winter/Spring 2012 contest, if you’re a local bride or a local just-married (cannot be married before January 1, 2011) and you’ve got cover aspirations, then you need to enter! The deadline to get your entry in is August 15, 2011.

Need an entry form? Click here to download it now!

If you’re going to enter…one word of advice, show us your personality on the answers to the questions — we love working with brides who have a lot of spunk, personality, humor and who are just darned cool girls. Be sure that your answers really reflect who you are! Oh, and don’t forget to include photos that really show your personality coming through as well!

Also, be sure to read all of the rules to make sure that you’re eligible to enter and are game to participate!

We cannot wait to see your entries so get them in soon!
