Saint Louis Bride is published twice annually – in January and July. We encourage submissions year-round and prefer to receive them 3-months prior to the issue release. Final selections are typically made in October (for the January issue) and in April (for the July issue). We are looking for weddings with unique style that took place in (and around) the St. Louis area no more than 12 months prior to the publication date.
