Submissions
Please note: We only take wedding submissions from readers of the blog, writing about their own weddings and marriages. We do not take submissions from photographers and other wedding industry professionals because APW is a community content driven site. If you are a photographer or another kind of wedding elf, and would like to reach out to APW couples and have your work featured on the blog, please consider advertising with the site. We love hooking up sane vendors with grounded couples.
As for you readers, we're thrilled that you want to share something with us. APW thrives on submissions from y'all! Here are the ways you can share with us:
Share A Picture:
If you'd just like to share a few pictures from your wedding, or be considered for a Wordless Wedding feature, upload a few pictures of your wedding to the APW Flickr stream. Please only upload 1-4 images of your wedding, but feel free to include a link to a blog post with more images. By uploading images to the APW Flickr stream, you are giving us permission to use them on the site, so please only upload pictures you have permission to share online, and include a photo credit if you didn't take the photo.
Share Your Wedding (or Your Parents' Wedding):
You can submit a Wedding Graduate post or a Vintage Wedding post right over here!
Other Guest Post:
You can submit a Wedding Undergraduate post, a How-To post, a Reclaiming Wife post, or just ask for advice over here.
- We run a variety of posts on APW, short and informative, long and meaningful. We do ask you to keep submissions under about 1,500 words though.
- Edit your post, because once you've submitted it, you won't get another chance to make changes. That said, remember the we don't believe in perfection at APW (in weddings or in posts), so just submit the d*mn thing already! (And don't worry, three more people will edit it before it's published!)
- We'd love it if you'd consider submitting a few pictures with your post, though it's not mandatory (except for How-To posts or Wedding Graduate posts).
Disclaimer:
- We can't run all the posts that are submitted to the site, and that's in no way a reflection of the quality of the post, or how amazing you are. By submitting to us, we're making you promise that you won't feel badly about yourself if we can't run your post. Done? Done!
- Due to the volume of submissions, and our relatively tiny staff, we can't respond to every submission. That said, if we're planning to run the post on the site, we'll get in touch.
- By submitting a post to the site, you give us permission to edit for tone, length, grammar, and clarity.
- By submitting a post, you're acknowledging that the post was written by you, and that you are granting us permission to publish it.
