Editor’s Note fall 2015

Sloane Stephens Cox l Editor-in-Chief, Coastal Weddings Magazine

Maybe you’re admiring your dazzling diamond engagement ring. Or maybe you’re reminiscing about the one that’s left an
indentation on your finger after blissful years of wear.
Whatever your status, we hope to treat you to our favorite topic: weddings.
They can make you laugh; they can make you cry. But, if you’re in the midst of planning one, it doesn’t have to make you crazy.
Coastal Weddings can guide you through the exciting process of planning your special event. Unlike national bridal magazines,
ours caters to Gulf Cost brides, so it can point you toward local experts who are eager to help. With some good advice and with
a little preparation, you can be happy as a honeymooner as you count down the days until your wedding.
After all, your big day should be a big success.
In this issue, we present the latest trends in bridal gowns, and we share stories of brides who have traveled the world, only to
find their perfect bridal gown in Pensacola. Our cake and flower experts showcase the most talked-about trends for fall 2015,
and we provide information about tricky topics such as gown shopping, bridesmaids’ duties and the roles of wedding planners
versus coordinators.
Also, as always, we’re happy to bring you our regular features, including business profiles and photos of newlyweds shot by
Pensacola Bay Area photographers.
Thank you again for choosing Coastal Weddings. We’re honored to share our nuptial knowledge with you!
