This issue features our gorgeous cover model finalists Shelbie Brassfield, Terra Galvez and Elizabeth Burdick. Each issue, hundreds of real brides enter our cover model contest, and, ultimately, we have to choose just three finalists. We then put these real bride models through their paces on an all day photo shoot at the Northstar-at-Tahoe Resort. Featuring local gowns, local floral designers, local hair and make-up teams and the utterly fantastic local photographer Andrea Price from Andrea’s Images Photography, our cover model photo shoot truly was exhilarating! Check out the layout in the Winter/Spring 2011 issue and be sure to check our Blog for even more photos to come!

The Real Weddings team has worked hard jam-pack this issue with as much inspiration as possible! Starting on page 83, we present 26 spectacular real weddings on pages 78 and 80 we give you a sneak peek of the five additional real weddings featured exclusively here online at Real Weddings (click on the Real Weddings tab). These featured real weddings are some of the best of the best from this past wedding season.
