Dear Beautiful Brides,
Welcome to the latest issue of Black Bride, where we celebrate, inspire, and uplift women of color on their journey to love, marriage, and life after the aisle. Your wedding is more than a day—it’s a reflection of your love story, culture, and vision. Whether you’re planning an intimate ceremony or a grand affair, we’re here to provide the inspiration and resources to bring your dream to life.
First, congratulations! This is a season of love, joy, and new beginnings. In this issue, our cover story will take you on a journey to Ghana for a breathtaking pre-wedding shoot, featuring The Black Love Effect: How Joi and Tristan Wilkerson’s Love Story Led Them Back to Africa by Kennedi LéShea. Be sure to read their inspiring love story—rooted in destiny, culture, and connection—reminds us of the power of love to bring us home in every sense.
Planning a wedding can feel overwhelming, but remember: This is your time to celebrate, not stress. Protect your peace and embrace the magic of your engagement season. Trust your planner, lean on your support system, and focus on the love that brought you here.
Inside, you’ll find our Fashion Trend Report with the most stunning designer gowns, plus beauty picks to help you glow with confidence. And beyond the style and details, we’ve gathered real engagements and weddings to inspire and remind you that love is at the heart of it all.
We hope this issue sparks your imagination and helps bring your wedding vision to life. Here’s to celebrating love—your way.
With love and celebration,
