publication information

Alabama Weddings Magazine is an annual publication
with four different cover looks.

From the creators of Alabama Weddings Magazine:

The creation of a magazine is like a marriage. Two separate entities—in this case the magazine’s design and its words—must join together as one for a greater, overall purpose. Our purpose here at Alabama Weddings Magazine is to inspire, using breathtaking photography and in-depth information to assist you in creating your own special day.

Our expectations for the magazine are exceedingly high, and each year we are amazed at the width and breadth of ideas that come from the wedding professionals who advertise with us. Our celebrated Signature Style Series was an enormous success last year, thanks to our contributors, and this year, the bar has been raised even higher. We present seven new wedding styles in their entirety, covering everything from Southern Old School, to Metro Contemporary, along with everything in between. We’re confident that in it you’ll find a multitude of ideas that will resonate with your own tastes and vision.

Alabama Weddings Magazine is in its eighth year of publication and remains number one on newsstands throughout Alabama and surrounding areas. We are also constantly updating our Web site to provide you must-see information you won’t find anywhere else.

Thank you for making us a part of your journey down the aisle. We hope your day will be a day like no other—beautifully inspired, yet uniquely you.

Best Wishes,
