Inside the Shoot

We are so excited for our readers to see the images we just finished shooting for the next issue of MetBride! We have what all the girls want: gowns, jewels, exotic florals, gorgeous make-up and we just may have a few more tricks up our sleeve. You will just have to wait and see.

We want to thank Bambi Cantrell for coming in from California to shoot the pics for the next issue of our magazine. Bambi has been named one of the top 10 wedding photographers in the world. We are so grateful that she is able to share her talents with us at MetBride and you the readers. The images are amazing and will be coming out in the Summer issue of Metropolitan Bride. The next issue is scheduled to hit shelves June 2009. Stay tuned for more exact dates you will be able to get your copy at Barnes & Noble.

Metropolitan Reception Tour

We recently hosted a tour of Springfield's reception locations. Over one hundred people visited area venues to see them set and ready for a reception, sampled food and cake, listened to music and found the reception location of their dreams. This was the first of it's kind in this area and we plan on doing it twice a year, SO if you have not found your location yet... take the tour August 30th, 2009!

Contest Winner!!

We had brides go online and let us know what they think of Metropolitan Bride Magazine. The MetBride Team wants to thank all of you who took the time to answer our survey. One lucky bride was chosen to win 250 Save The Date cards from Dawn Shields Photography. Congratulations Starla Brown, she was our Save The Date Card Winner!

Welcome to the Metropolitan Bride Blog!

I thought you all would enjoy seeing photos from our last wedding show. This was the first time we had our Trash the Cake event! Those girls went crazy hacking up those cakes. Our next show will be August 23, 2009 at the Springfield Expo Center. Hope to see you there!
