  • Fashion: A fashion-forward couple whose style is evident from their wedding decor to their attire.
  • Location: We love showing our readers all of the gorgeous locations + unique venues to say I Do!

  • Well Shot: Properly lit and consistently processed photos that are in focus + meet the quality standard of other images on our site.
  • Love is All You Need: Most importantly, the couple has to be madly in love!

What do we look for in our Home Tour features?

  • Personality: Design that successfully reflects the individuals + combined style of a couple.
  • Inspired Design: We’re not looking for something generic; we want to see personality!
  • Functionality: Design for the sake of design is fine, but we love a beautiful space that functions and makes life better!
  • Love: We LOVE when a space incorporates an element or two from a couple’s wedding day :)
  • Eclectic: Spaces that incorporate elements found during traveling….it’s always nice to integrate a moment or two that transports you to a fave destination
