It’s all in the details … When it comes to submissions, it’s the details that we here at UBB are after! We are looking for creativity, the couples personality, a love of design, fashion, and lots of unique details. Did we mention details?!
If you would like to submit a …..
Company feature & promotion – please identify a problem, need or topic in your area of expertise and send us an email with the article finished and ready to post. It needs to be of educational value to the bride’s and the local industry. {read .. plug ins should be to a minimum}. Your email submission also should accompany at least 5 professional images of your work, and or product or something that relates to the article that is visual. {please see image guidelines below}. Your mark in the industry should also be explained along with all pertinent contact information including all appropriate links.
An engagement session feature – This is one of our most common submissions, and therefor one of the hardest to get published. Because these types of submissions come in so frequently the bar gets pushed higher. So its very important that these are very detail oriented, unique and creative. The images must be visually entertaining beyond just a great looking couple and good photography! We will need the couple’s names as well as any pertinent info or story behind their shoot. At least 15 images meeting our guidelines should accompany this submission, and it should be ready to post! {see image guidelines}. Please send all appropriate links and contact information for any participating vendors.
Bridal &/or Groomal feature – This is the other most common category submitted. It’s very important that your submission be catered to something more entertaining then just two great looking people posing. It must have the IT factor. Great work in all categories, makeup, hair, attire, accessories, flowers, location, logistics & of course detail shots! Again we would like a minimum of 15 images sent via email for review, re sized to our specifications and guidelines, ready to post! All credits for vendors involved and appropriate links and contact information needs to be provided in the original submission email. Please also inform us of any special story or significance as well as the couples names.
Wedding feature – We don’t get enough unique wedding feature submissions, so bring it on! Often times even if the entire wedding cant be featured, a specific detail is so stellar that we post something more focused about the event. We would like a minimum of 30 images emailed sized to our specifications with the appropriate vendor accreditation, and varied in visual appeal. At least 15 of these images need to be detail oriented. Please include the following information in your email: the wedding date, location, colors, themes, bride & groom’s names, all bridal party attire, florists, catering, how they met, best part of the evening, special details, cake artistry, transportation if applicable, event designer or planner, entertainment, hair & makeup, decor/rentals, bridal gown & accessories, photography, videography, favors, invitations and anything else pertinent to the event and in whatever order is convenient for you! All credits should be accompanied by vendor contact information and links. The entire submission needs to be emailed ready to post!
