One of my favorite places to hang out is the bookstore. I even have an authentic Barnes & Noble Bookstore chair which was given to me when the B&N I used to work for received a new set of chairs for their store. I try to get to the bookstore at least once a month to see what's new in books & magazines- particularly art, photography, business, and weddings. The Bride & Bloom is a fairly new publication to the wedding scene, so when I checked it out for the first time I wasn't sure what to expect, but after thumbing through the pages and seeing tons of great content, I fell in love and had to buy it!!!
If you haven't seen this magazine - go check it out!! It's not like all of the other bridal magazines, chocked full of page after page of dress designer ads that simply bury any content worth reading. It's dedicated to design and style ideas... TONS of design and style ideas. Because it's dedicated to design, it goes beyond weddings and can be used for party planning ideas as well! That's not to say that there aren't any wedding dresses, but they are all included with a design concept in mind. I was also happy to see some of my favorite wedding photographers featured throughout the magazine, which tells you that a lot of the images featured are from real weddings. (Who knows, maybe I'll appear in the mag some day too!!)

The magazine and website are still very young, which means they will continue to grow. If they can maintain the quality and depth of their quarterly publication as they grow, I will remain a dedicated and loyal fan!
