Getting your wedding featured in a wedding blog can be an exciting and great publicity for your wedding business, but it doesn’t happen overnight. Getting your wedding featured in a wedding blog can not be easy as there is a lot of competition. Read on to learn my top tips to getting featured in the wedding blog of your dreams!
Read the Wedding Blog Guidelines
I know this one may seem obvious, but different wedding blogs look for certain styles, types of weddings or only accept real weddings and not styled shoots for example. Before submitting to a wedding blog, make sure to read their guidelines thoroughly. Each wedding blog has its own set of guidelines, so it’s essential to follow them to increase your chances of getting featured in their blog. The guidelines may include the number and quality of photos you can submit, the length and format of the written submission, a list of the wedding suppliers, and permission from the photographer.
Choose the right Wedding Blog
When selecting a wedding blog to submit your wedding, consider the style and theme of your wedding. Look for blogs that feature weddings that are similar in style to yours. This will increase your chances of getting featured as the blog is likely to be interested in showcasing weddings that match their aesthetic. However don’t try and submit a wedding that is too similar to one they have recently posted as the blogs like to show a variety of wedding inspiration to their readers.
Be creative with your written submission
The written part of your submission is an important aspect of getting your wedding featured in a wedding blog. The blog wants to know the story behind your wedding day and what makes it unique. Take the time to write a creative and engaging submission that captures the essence of your wedding day. Share details about the planning process, the theme, the location, and any special moments that occurred throughout the day. What made this wedding unique compared to others, what makes it inspirational to brides-to-be reading this wedding blog?
Apply to more than one Wedding Blog
Don’t limit yourself to one wedding blog. Apply to multiple blogs to increase your chances of getting featured. If you have an outstanding wedding that you think every bride-to-be needs to read, then submit it to every blog that suits that style of wedding! Of course each wedding blog will ask for exclusivity when publishing so ultimately your wedding will only get features in one blog. Sometimes it’s just the case of whichever blog replied back to your first or offers to feature you in their wedding blog.
Don’t get disheartened
If you don’t get featured right away don’t get discouraged. It may simply be because they have recently published a wedding with a similar vibe or colour scheme to yours and they are looking for something different. Try submitting again at a different time of year or submit to a different blog. Try rewriting your article from a different angle or perspective to make it more unique and be patient!
Getting your wedding featured in a wedding blog can be a great boost to your wedding business by promoting your work and brand to millions of readers world-wide. By following these tips, you can increase your chances of getting featured in international wedding blogs and reaching a wider audience, so take your time when submitting each feature and carefully read each wedding blog guidelines.
