The crisp winter air means there are “Will you marry me’s?” flying everywhere. Nineteen percent of couples get engaged during the holidays, a 2004 study from the Condé Nast Bridal Group reported. That is more than November and January combined, and it far surpasses February, when marriage proposals are often tied to Valentine’s Day (Rules of Engagement for the Holiday Season, By Cate Doty). Veils & Vows is excited to bring you our Winter 09-10 issue, with a brand new look!

We have several wonderful new features and vendors to present to you! The majority spoke at Michiana’s Premier Wedding Expo bridal show in October and the consensus was that brides-to-be want more photos for inspiration and ideas, so that is exactly what we are giving you. Be inspired by our brand new “Color Inspiration” section. We also want to thank our faithful advertisers, some of which have been with us for over four years now!
