To all of you newly engaged, or soon-to-be engaged, couples—congratulations! I’m overjoyed that you’re holding this beautiful issue in your hands. Wedding planning is exciting, but let’s be honest—it can feel like a lot, and often in a short window of time. So, pause, grab your favorite beverage and allow yourself to be inspired. Our team has lovingly gathered the most breathtaking real weddings and trend-forward ideas to create this issue just for you.
We were also elated to introduce a fresh way to shop for wedding venues: the Venue Tour by Nebraska Wedding Day. Couples were able to explore the spaces they loved—on their own terms, with doors wide open—and the response was incredible. If you missed it, don’t worry! Follow us on Instagram (@neweddingday) to stay informed about future opportunities to experience venues in such an inspiring way.
We hope every page sparks inspiration and helps you take the next step in your planning journey. Head over to our NEW website, neweddingday.com, for expert tips, articles, the latest style insights and the tools you need to find your perfect venue and vendors. Be sure to explore our Wedding Professionals tab—an incredible directory of members ready to become your dream team. Don’t miss our e-newsletter for ongoing ideas, inspiration and updates.

It is a true joy and privilege to work alongside this extraordinary community of wedding professionals—dedicated, creative and wholeheartedly committed to making your day unforgettable.

I’m thrilled share some wonderful news; we’re welcoming the return of friend and leader to the team, Carrie Fisher, who will be stepping into the role of publisher for Nebraska Wedding Day. Carrie brings heart, depth and true love for this industry. She gets the magic of what wedding professionals do, and I couldn’t imagine a better person to help guide this brand into its next chapter.
As for me, I’ll still be here, cheering loudly, collaborating closely and staying connected with this beautiful wedding community that means so much to me.
Cheers to all of the goodness ahead!
