WHY DID YOU ENTER THIS CONTEST?<br />

Sarah: I orig<strong>in</strong>ally discovered this contest through<br />

<strong>the</strong> florist who did my wedd<strong>in</strong>g flowers<br />

(shoutout to <strong>the</strong> <strong>in</strong>credible Brie at Wild<br />

Flowers Design Group!). She <strong>and</strong> I got<br />

on so well, <strong>and</strong> she told me about <strong>the</strong><br />

cover model contest <strong>and</strong> sent me <strong>the</strong><br />

application <strong>in</strong>formation when it was<br />

released! When I heard about it <strong>and</strong> read<br />

through previous issues <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> magaz<strong>in</strong>e<br />

I knew I wanted to be a part <strong>of</strong> it! <strong>Real</strong><br />

<strong><strong>Wedd<strong>in</strong>g</strong>s</strong> provided a lot <strong>of</strong> <strong>in</strong>spiration for<br />

my own wedd<strong>in</strong>g concept <strong>and</strong> helped me<br />

f<strong>in</strong>d wonderful vendors like Brie (which was<br />

especially helpful as I was plann<strong>in</strong>g my wedd<strong>in</strong>g<br />

from out <strong>of</strong> town <strong>and</strong> was clueless about what <strong>the</strong><br />

area had to <strong>of</strong>fer!). I loved <strong>the</strong>ir beautiful but totally<br />

relatable <strong>and</strong> <strong>in</strong>spir<strong>in</strong>g depictions <strong>of</strong> wedd<strong>in</strong>gs <strong>and</strong><br />

brides <strong>and</strong> wanted a chance to help show that<br />

brides come <strong>in</strong> all shapes <strong>and</strong> sizes <strong>and</strong> help be<br />

a confident, yet realistic, portrait <strong>of</strong> a Nor<strong>the</strong>rn<br />

<strong>California</strong>n bride.<br />

TELL US ABOUT YOUR<br />

COVER MODEL EXPERIENCE.<br />

Sarah: It was was one <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> best days I’ve<br />

ever had! I couldn’t stop smil<strong>in</strong>g that night<br />

when I got home. I left feel<strong>in</strong>g so confident,<br />

encouraged, excited <strong>and</strong> happy. And a huge<br />

reason for all <strong>of</strong> that was <strong>the</strong> <strong>in</strong>credible<br />

team I worked with, which had to be my<br />

favorite part <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> day. From <strong>the</strong> get<br />

go I was surrounded by people who<br />

were welcom<strong>in</strong>g, energetic, so funny<br />

<strong>and</strong> so <strong>in</strong>credibly supportive <strong>of</strong> me<br />

<strong>and</strong> <strong>the</strong> work I was do<strong>in</strong>g. The shoot<br />

itself—be<strong>in</strong>g a model <strong>and</strong> wear<strong>in</strong>g<br />

<strong>the</strong> absolute most gorgeous dresses<br />

ever—was so fun <strong>and</strong> wonderful,<br />

but <strong>the</strong> people around me were<br />

what made all <strong>of</strong> that even<br />

sweeter <strong>and</strong> <strong>the</strong> most fun! OO<br />
