Awesome New Source of Inspiration for Planning Your Sacramento Wedding Now Available at Engaged Wedding Library!
The 2011 Southern Living Weddings special edition magazine is jam packed with photos of creative, gorgeous weddings! You don’t have to be planning a wedding in the South to find inspiration in these pages! I found myself saying “Wow!” on almost every page, as I saw so many adorable ideas that I’d never seen before. And not the same kind of wow that you might say when looking at pics of outrageous, over-the-top weddings. The weddings showcased in this edition, while being wow-worthy, also seem very real, affordable, and full of ideas that you’d want to do yourself. You really owe it to yourself to take a look at this excellent collection of wedding ideas!
We have always had the Southern Living Weddings book on the shelves at Engaged, but this special edition magazine is new. The last time they published one was in 2005! And of course you can come look at it for free, along with all the other national bridal magazines and books that we have at Engaged. Be sure to bring your camera to snap pics of the ideas you like!
And don’t forget, Engaged has moved. Be sure to visit the About page on the web site for current address and hours.
