Third Wave Fashion // JULY 2013 // THE WEDDING TECH ISSUE | Page 4

WE LOVE WEDDINGS And what’s more, we love a good marriage. For us, the wedding issue is a perfect way to look at the marriage of fashion and technology. This $40B wedding industry is based on an institution that’s been around for thousands of years; we can imagine that it’s ripe for innovation. This issue, we meet wedding tech startup Lover.ly and learn how they took an industry problem and turned it in to a beautiful solution, as well as introduce you to 36 other wedding tech startups you should know. We also meet a savvy couple that merged fashion (she’s Fashion Editor at Esquire) with technology (he’s Director of Application at Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia) into one gorgeous wedding.   And as always, we bring you all of the fashion tech news, investments, and innovations you need to know about. Enjoy, and see you next month!
