By now you’ve probably heard the big news–we’ve transitioned from Perfect Wedding Guide to Wedding Collective! It has been quite the journey since Shauna Pointer took over the New Mexico franchise of Perfect Wedding Guide back in 2006, and the whole wedding planning experience we have carefully created, just for you, has grown and changed immensely. This growth has truly inspired us to follow our dreams of branching off to focus our energy on the local wedding community.
Here are 5 reasons why we’re now Wedding Collective:
1. We love New Mexico weddings brought to life by local creatives.
2. We want to provide a fresh, user-friendly, and beautiful online planning experience.
3. We are a New Mexico infused planning experience creating locally inspired content.
4. We are branching off to fulfill our growth potential, the vision for our future, and dreams for our wedding community.
5. We’re more than just a magazine, we’re about community. Whether that’s creating a conversation on social media, attending wedding shows, or fostering connections right here in New Mexico, we’re all about keeping it local to build up our wedding community.
You might be wondering, “well, what’s new and what is staying the same?” Lot’s of things are staying the same, but lot’s of things are also changing. For starters, our adorable little magazine will be just as adorable, just as little, and just as convenient in all of the same locations across the state. The only changes are the name on the front, and the new, and inspirational, content inside. Want to see the new guide when they hit the streets in March? Check out the distribution locations on our new site here!
Speaking of the new site, one of our biggest changes is our all new and improved online planning experience. We previously shared a site with all of the other Perfect Wedding Guides in the country, but now have our very own website to provide a more personalized experience for you and the entire local wedding community. You should totally check it out–it’s pretty cool if we do say so ourselves.
All of our wedding shows and vendor events are staying the same, too, because they are some our favorite things to do! In fact, with our ability to create a more personalized experience, our hope is that the shows and events will just keep getting better and better.
If you’re a bride, groom, mother of the bride, father of the groom, friend of the couple, or know anyone who is getting married and want to learn about how you can use Wedding Collective to plan an incredible wedding, head over to our new website and check out all of the local vendors, wedding inspiration, deals + tips, and how to get in contact for more information.
We are Wedding Collective, a modern wedding planning experience for New Mexicans in love, just like you!
