New Beginnings

I am over the moon to be new managing editor of Nebraska Wedding Day! With years of experience working at a luxury bridal shop, I am excited to bring my knowledge in bridal fashion to the forefront of Nebraska Wedding Day. I have been obsessed with magazines since I was a kid, biking to the local Walgreens to buy the latest edition of Vogue, a Slim Jim and an Arnold Palmer—still my go-to convenience store purchases. I am eager to get to know more of you in the Nebraska wedding community! To the ones I have met, worked with and celebrated alongside, thank you for welcoming me with open arms! 

For my debut fashion shoot, I had the privilege of styling a collection of looks featuring modern gowns with artful accessories, set against the newly renovated art museum, The Joslyn. Thank you to James Laurent at The Joslyn for being the ultimate host, and to the all-star team of pros who contributed their talents to produce an amazing editorial. 

These pages are brimming with inspiration, from the latest in fashion news and bold color palettes to venues we love and beautiful real weddings. A heads-up: “Plated to Perfection” will make you hungry, featuring three mouthwatering menus paired with three gorgeous tablescapes. We are so proud of this issue and very excited to share it with all of you. 

So, start your engines, pour some bubbly and get ready to dive in to make your dream celebration a reality! Cheers to you!
