Blogger’s gorgeous wedding leads to multiple press features

Posted on May 12, 2013 by Sasha

When Amanda, the founder of popular wedding blog 100 Layer Cake, contacted me about her upcoming nuptials, I knew that several of I Do PR clients would be more than happy to help make her dream wedding come true.

Amanda & Tim’s wedding, which took place in Southern California in 2012, was featured not only on 100 Layer Cake, but also in the Real Weddings issue of Martha Stewart Weddings magazine that came out this month. So it’s with double pleasure that we’re sharing the photos from this stunning wedding featuring several of our clients.

Holiday wedding PR buzz

Posted on December 27, 2012 by Sasha

The holidays are the official beginning of engagement season when there is a flurry of breaking news stories on the latest celebrities to get engaged, fashion features on holidays jewelry and party dresses as well as perennial style stories on winter wedding trends. What follows the holidays is the busiest booking and selling season for many wedding fashion brands and event venues. Thus, it is important to create a good amount of PR buzz in preparation for the season.

For us, December 2012 has been a busy season indeed with several national print magazines releasing features about our clients and online press buzzing with holiday stories and giveaways. Here are some of our favorites stories:

Multicultural wedding by Nadia D Photography in Wedding Nouveau

Posted on November 9, 2012 by Sasha

The 2012 holiday issue of Wedding Nouveau magazine is out and we’re so excited to see the 6-page spread the editors put together on the multicultural wedding of Tejal & Bobby, beautifully captured by Nadia D Photography. The ceremony took place at Atlanta’s Piedmont Park on the dockside of a gorgeous lake. The reception, decorated in orange and purple color scheme and themed after Phantom of the Opera, was held at the classy Fox Theater. Our favorite element of the wedding was a twist on the candy bar, made to remind guests of an Indian spice bazaar, filled with orange and purple candy for guests to take home. Cute, right?

Los Angeles Times article on Hatch My House

Posted on October 29, 2012 by Sasha

The Sunday edition of Los Angeles Times published an article “Contemporary wedding registries straying from tradition” by Whitney Friedlander, which highlighted Hatch My House wedding registry!

While features in bridal publications should be the focus of any wedding vendor’s PR strategy, features in the general audience publications like the Los Angeles Times do wonders for helping to spread the word beyond the immediate target market. They also give a highly valuable testament to your business’ credibility.

Media storm for engagement shoot by Nadia D Photography

Posted on September 14, 2012 by Sasha

This week, the work of Nadia D Photography is taking the media by storm because of one adventurous couple, stunning setting and a hot red dress. Earlier this summer, Nadia shot the engagement session of O’Shea and Shawn in Atlanta’s sleek W Hotel. The shoot was inspired by James Bond movies and features the sexy couple in a glamorous hotel setting. Nadia’s experience in fashion and the couple’s sense of style were a match made in heaven.

So we weren’t surprised when we were approached by Essence magazine, BlackBride and The Bride’s Cafe to feature this sultry e-session. Methinks the red dress had something to do with it 🙂

And here:

We can’t wait to see what this couple does for their wedding!
