Welcome to the Spring 2024 issue of Columbus Weddings. I hope you love what you see in the pages you are about to unfold. As the new editor of this magazine, I feel truly honored to get the first sneak peeks of your submissions—what you're wearing, where you got married and how you have chosen to celebrate such a monumental milestone in your relationship. 

While I am originally from Ohio, I have spent the last several years residing in the New York City area, and prior to that, living in Chicago. Being immersed in those exciting markets of fashion, art and design has influenced the pages before you, but at the heart of the content is the thing that makes Columbus such an incredible place to begin a marital journey, start a family and explore the infinite number of possibilities to lead a wonderful life here—authenticity. 

While you will see a theme of elegance and timelessness in this issue, you will notice that each couple has made their special day completely their own. From attire and makeup to décor and venues, the couples of Columbus have not only shown how to own their wedding day, but have spotlighted so many incredible places, vendors and individuals that make this city so amazing.

As you're perusing the trend-driven stories and real wedding stories, don't forget to look at the venue guide and the essentials guide, showcasing so much local talent in the wedding industry made up of people working to make your wedding day as unforgettable as possible. 

Thank you for letting me be a part of your special moments. I am looking forward to spearheading many more issues to come.
