Join Woodlands Bride for online marketing that is a snap.
If over 93 percent of brides go to the Internet to plan their wedding (Carley Roney, Editor-in-Cheif of The Knot)...
and 80 percent of brides host their wedding within 50 miles of their home (www.TheWeddingReport.com)...
wouldn't it make sense to have an online resource that focuses on Northwest Houston?
We thought so!
Woodlands Bride is a new online resource that spotlights the best in The Woodlands wedding industry. Our content targets brides planning local weddings (the brides most likely to book with you!)

"As a small business just starting out, we truly appreciate the exposure that came from being featured on Woodlands Bride. We got some great feedback -- for us and WB! -- and sold our antique kitchen scale less than a week after the Vintage Wedding Decor article posted. Thanks again!" -Krystal + Jen from Moontower Vintage

Why are there only 6 vendors per category and what if my category if full?
Our vendor guide is edited so that it is not overwhelming to brides. We want the 6 vendors in each category to get a chance to really shine. If your category is full, we will happily place you on a waiting list in case a spot comes available. You may also want to consider advertising in our magazine or sidebar until then.
