Submit A Wedding

I’m so excited that you would like your wedding day and/or work featured on Green Wedding Shoes! I love receiving submissions from brides, photographers, stylists, florists, weddings planners, and everyone else in the wedding industry. I’m looking for truly fun weddings – weddings full of personality! Whether they’re vintage inspired, modern, rustic, whimsical or a little of each. I’m looking for:

  • Creativity
  • Couples with personalities that really shine through in the photos
  • A love of design
  • Breathtaking environments
  • A keen eye for fashion and styling
  • Lots of great details, details and more details
  • Most importantly, the couple has to be madly in love! Green Wedding Shoes is all about Love.

I do also love to feature:

  • Engagement sessions
  • Bridal fashion
  • Unique proposals
  • Invitations
  • Other wedding related photo shoots. For these types of submissions, I’m looking for a distinct style, unique themes, or just a great story.

Sounds like you? Here’s what I will need for your submission:

How many images?
If it’s a wedding please submit 50-100 photos including detail shots, portraits, ceremony and reception. For engagement sessions and other wedding related photoshoots 30-60 images is great. If you have a blog, you can also send me a link to the feature. If you are a bride/groom submitting your wedding, please make sure you have permission to share your photos from your photographer. :)

What type of information should I send?
Please send a list of your vendors, any special DIY projects for the day, and/or any other special things to note. (For weddings, I love to know your inspiration behind the day, favorite memory of the day, and any advice you have for brides planning now).

What size photos?
Images should be 650 pixels across and without watermarks. Please send all the photos in one zip file through yousendit.com or via dropbox to jen {at} greenweddingshoes [dot]com.

Who do I send them to?

Since GWS does receive many submissions daily,  Two Bright Lights is my preferred method of receiving and reviewing submissions.  This tool is a great resource for photographers and it’s ease of use allows me to review your work sooner than traditional email submissions.

If you prefer to submit your work via email, please send it to submissions [at] greenweddingshoes.com and include “SUBMISSION and what type” in the subject line

***I am always searching for fresh + unique content to share here on Green Wedding Shoes, so please let me know in advance if you have submitted this to other blogs. We are looking for features to share that are exclusive to Green Wedding Shoes. As such, once your feature has been accepted for publication on GWS we do ask for a 60 day window of exclusivity from your publication date before you submit to another blog or magazine***

When will I know if my wedding (or other session) is going to be featured?
I truly appreciate you sharing your wedding day/work with me! If I think your wedding or engagement session is a good fit for Green Wedding Shoes, I will contact you within 2 weeks of your submission to let you know it has been selected to be featured. If you don’t hear anything from me within that time, please go ahead and submit your wedding/work elsewhere. Due to the large amount of submissions I receive on a daily basis, I’m unable to respond personally to each + every email – although I do try my best! Please know I review every submission which comes through my inbox and just because the submission you sent over this time wasn’t a right fit for my readers – it doesn’t mean I wouldn’t love to feature a submission from you at some point in the future.  I love submissions and do hope you will consider Green Wedding Shoes again in the future to share your work.

How do I submit my product or DIY project to be featured on Green Wedding Shoes?
Please send me 4 – 10 images of your product and a brief description about what it is. Due to the large amount of emails and press releases I receive daily, I unfortunately can’t respond to everyone, but will let you know if I plan to feature it.

I’m a vendor or company interested in submitting some of my products to be reviewed on Green Wedding Shoes. How do I go about doing this?
Currently I do not write product reviews but I do offer several other advertising options, such as giveaways, sponsored posts and ad tiles. Please refer to the advertising page for more information on this.

What is a sponsored post?
A sponsored post is a type of paid advertising on Green Wedding Shoes. It is written by myself talking about your product and/or service. If you are interested in purchasing a sponsored post, please email me for more information.

How do I get listed on your Vendor Guide?
We are excited to offer a highly curated Vendor Guide here on GWS. All the listings are carefully edited by myself – this is not a pay a fee, get listed guide. I am looking for vendors who fit the creativity + professionalism I want to recommend to my readers and that they expect from reading the site. For more information, please click here.
