We love to share real weddings, styled shoots, civil unions, rehearsal dinners & rustic wedding DIY projects with our readers. To make sure that we continue to bring our readers the best in rustic chic weddings we are looking for submissions that have not been seen on other blogs, sites or magazines. All submissions will need to have the permission of the photographer to feature the images.

If you are a bride or vendor submitting please “cc” the photographer on the submission email so we can contact them for consent.

How Long Does It Take To Hear About Being Featured?

We are thrilled to receive so many wonderful submissions but with that said it also takes an overwhelming number of hours to go through the hundreds of submissions we get each week. We work really hard to respond within 3 weeks of receiving a submission. If the submission was sent via email you will receive an email back with our decision on the submission and if it was submitted via Two Bright Lights you will hear back from the Two Bright Lights communication emails.

What Does It Mean That Your Blog Is “Exclusive”?

To continue to bring our readers the very best in rustic weddings we only like to feature real weddings & inspiration shoots that have not and will not be featured on other wedding blogs. We ask that you allow us to have the exclusive rights to the publication for 60 days from the time of publication on Rustic Wedding Chic. We do understand that photographers have the right to feature their work on their own blog and we are 100% okay with that. We ask that you do not submit your wedding or shoot to any other wedding blog if you would like to be considered for a feature. DIY projects are not “exclusive” unless otherwise noted.
