F ROM THE E DITOR
SWEET SUMMER HEAT
It is issue #2 into a new business model and into uncharted territory for a company that was primarily a high-end print
publication. In case you missed the announcement earlier this year, Perfect Wedding Magazine has ceased printing the
illustrious glossy magazine, and there is a very good reason why. The current condition of our world takes precedence and
for the sake of our children, and their children, we all need to vastly improve our behavior and treatment of Mother Earth if
we are to survive. I decided to reduce our carbon footprint impact by eliminating the printing and distribution process
completely, and I am happy I did.
Moving to an online audience has enabled Perfect Wedding Magazine to expand its reach across the globe with many, many
more eyes seeing the electronic version of the magazine compared to a print magazine. This has also opened the door to
working with and publishing content from different artistic teams from many places around the globe. One team from
Germany, lead by Nadine Metgenberg of Hamburg, is awarded the Front Cover of this issue! Congratulations! You can see
their work in ‘Tropical Bliss’ (pages 48-55) and ‘Summer Crush’ (pages 62-67). A very close contender for the Cover was a team
from Australia with Sephory Photography and Adorn Invitations in the ‘Lavender with Love’ editorial (pages 56-61). Kudos!
Enjoy this publication, share it socially with your friends and family, and contact our advertisers as they too are counting on
your support.
Happy planning!
