Our Mission at Boise Weddings
Our mission here at Boise Weddings is to create an incredible experience for our brides while they plan their wedding by making connecting with vendors easy, pointing them to planning events and resources, and providing inspiration to transform their dream wedding into a reality.
Why does Boise need a Bridal Publication?
I am a Wedding photographer. To me, the wedding industry in Boise has an obvious gap. For example, if a bride is looking for a photographer, flosit, venue, etc. the only way for her to find them is to search each category individually on google or instagram (which takes HOURS out of her life). A better solution is necessary in order to help a bride locate and decide on her vendors much more efficiently and with a higher quality experience. Here are the specific reasons that Boise Weddings is necessary:
- Most major cities have a local source for finding wedding vendors
- A bride could spend hours searching google and social media in each category before even narrowing down her choices
- Wedding vendors need a place to network and collaborate (so that they can all work together the best they can)
- Brides should have one spot to look for inspiration with vendors that they might actually hire when planning her wedding
- Vendors need a place where they can show off their hard work and get recognized for their excellence!
How can I get my work published in Boise Weddings as a vendor?
Each individual wedding vendor has a role. Teamwork creates the big picture. An incredible, million dollar wedding could not take place without the skills of a florist or photographer. On the other hand, a wedding blog source is ineffective without the work of the vendors. Therefore, we need your help! We are looking for vendors to join the team! We are also looking for content for the blog!
Two ways Brides find their Vendors on the Boise Weddings site
- Through the listed vendor profile within each vendor category
- Also, through featured work on the blog
What is the Vendor Profile?
On the Boise Weddings website we have our Premier Vendor Collective. In other words, it is a collection of the best wedding vendors in the Treasure Valley. Within the collective are the following categories:
- Boise Wedding Venues
- Photographers
- Planners
- Florists
- Videographers
- Jewelers
- Stationers
- Cake and Dessert Designers
- Hair and Makeup Stylists
- Catering
- Decor and Rentals
- Dresses and Tuxes
- DJ and Music
- Beverages
- Transportation
- Other (Photo Booths, Accessories, Gifts, Officiants).
A bride can locate each individual vendor’s profile page where they learn more about that specific vendor, view a gallery of images, and also gather their contact information. In addition, the bride has access to submit their information directly through a contact form and view blog features. Lastly, the viewer can see a vendor’s google rating and reviews straight on their vendor profile!
What should I submit to the Boise Weddings blog for publication?
Great question! We must first think about the audience and the purpose of this entire site, blog, and company as a whole. First, the purpose of Boise Weddings is to serve our local brides by providing them with inspiration, easily accessible references, and educate them through our expertise. Most importantly, we must remember that the majority of our brides have never planned a wedding before. With that being said, what would benefit them? Similarly, what should that know about your industry?
We are specifically looking for:
- Real weddings at Local Venues
- Elopements within a 5 hour drive from Boise
- Engagement/Anniversary Sessions or Proposal Stories
- Styled Shoots for inspiration (we LOVE seeing lots of details)
- Travel (think Honeymoon or Anniversary options)
- Tips (any education or resource is great!)
What else should I know about Boise Weddings as a vendor?
Certainly the Premier Vendor Collective is the best way for a bride to find a vendor. Obviously, the blog is the second best. However, there are a couple cool things we are incorporating as part of our launch that is beneficial.
- Boise Weddings will be hosting a photo contest in order to get YOUR images on the homepage of the website
- We are waiving all monthly charges to host your vendor profile until August due to the financial difficulties caused by COVID 19 (typically $47 a month)
- We are hosting ‘Best of Boise Weddings’ Awards for 2019 which will be displayed on the website and featured in social media throughout the remainder of 2020
- Vendor Networking Events are to be held a couple times a year to strengthen our community
We are so very excited for everyone involved in this wonderful process, brides and vendors alike. Lastly, we cannot wait to serve you, meet you, publish your work, and get started with this incredible journey we are about to embark on!
With much love,
Denise
