The Ultimate List: 20+ Wedding Blogs to showcase your Weddings & Styled Shoots

Getting a luxury South Asian or Fusion wedding featured in a top-tier publication is a significant achievement for any couple and event planning company. This comprehensive guide, born from extensive research and compilation, is designed to help fellow creatives and wedding planners navigate the submission process for fusion, South Asian, and destination weddings.


Most wedding blogs prioritize the visual elements of an event—focusing heavily on designer fashion, wedding decor, intricate details, and exquisite design. They typically request around 100 high-resolution images (minimum 2000px wide), often submitted via platforms like Dropbox. Publications frequently require first-hand accounts directly from the couple, sharing their unique story and insights about their special day. It's crucial to be aware that some platforms enforce a 60–90 day exclusivity period after a feature goes live.


Always include a complete vendor list, ensuring it includes both Instagram handles and website links for every professional involved in creating your luxury events. Keep in mind that some of these publications receive hundreds of submissions weekly, making the selection process highly competitive. Success isn't solely about the wedding's inherent beauty; timing and the ability to truly stand out, especially for destination weddings or culturally rich South Asian wedding celebrations, are also key factors.
