New Hampshire Wedding Venues, Vendors, Ideas and Inspiration
Planning a wedding in New Hampshire? You’ve come to the right place! New Hampshire Magazine’s Bride is a semi-annual magazine perfect for those planning a NH wedding or rehearsal dinner. Bride is published twice a year, in spring and fall.
After searching the Granite State, our editors have gathered some of the most beautiful and interesting bridal accoutrements New Hampshire has to offer – jewelry, dresses, flowers and more. Each issue also includes a hand-selected, comprehensive list of New Hampshire’s best reception sites, with all the contact information you’ll need.
From the editor
Anyone else hear that strut-worthy guitar riff followed by Shania saying, “Let’s go, girls,” and suddenly feel like they could kick a door down? Us too—this issue radiates that same vivacious, fearless energy that makes bridal season with your besties so memorable. From “she said yes” to “I do,” and from elegant bridal brunches to whimsical bouquet tosses, this season is all about love and joy, and the adventures woven into each milestone—a reminder that life’s biggest moments are best experienced together.
Amid the artistic flair and vibrancy that dance together throughout the pages of this Spring/Summer issue, you’ll find an abundance of ideas and fresh inspiration for the coming season. From “Things We Love” on page 12 to a collection of Real New Hampshire Weddings starting on page 25, there’s no shortage of ways to throw the party you’ve been longing for. Our Q&A department, “Meet the Experts” on page 37, features local industry pros ready to share their tips, tricks and thoughtful guidance on their own unique facet of the wedding planning process. If you’re looking for a citrusy twist on summer classics, check out the “Golden Getaway” styled shoot at Milliken Manor in Jaffrey on page 48. And don’t miss our updated Vendor List on page 62 for everything you need to know about planning your wedding from venue to DJ suggestions.
We love being the door holder for you (most likely groovin’ in place in our own pair of Bella Belles as we do). Whether you’re getting ready to walk down the aisle or enter into your reception hand-in-hand with your person, take a pause and soak in the presence of your people who’ve been there every step of the way—we’re honored to be one of them.
Save us a spot on the dance floor. “Hey DJ, play ‘Girls Just Want to Have Fun.’”
Until next time …
