Why Write for Us?

Love & Lavender has been one of the top wedding blogs online since our virtual doors opened back in early 2010.

Love & Lavender reaches over 4 million people monthly – real couples in the thick of planning, gift-givers trying to get it right, and anyone genuinely curious about creating memorable celebrations. If you have something worth saying about weddings, engagements, or meaningful moments, we want your voice on our platform.

We love featuring rustic, vintage, or whimsical styles the most — especially outdoor weddings. That being said, our posts range from how-to guides, reviews, advice, and even opinion pieces on a wide variety of wedding topics.

All posts published on our wedding blog are promoted via social media channels.

Yes, you will receive a link to your personal blog. We all know that’s one of the main reasons to go after guest posts! 😀

How To Become A Wedding Blog Guest Contributor

We accept articles from wedding professionals, planners, florists, photographers, designers, and anyone with real insight to share. Your story could be the exact thing someone’s searching for.

What We’re Looking For

We publish content that:

Solves a real problem – brides and planners want practical wisdom, not trends that’ll be outdated next season
Shows, doesn’t just tell – specific examples, real stories, and detailed breakdowns beat generic advice every time
Sounds authentic – diverse perspectives, inclusive language, voices that feel like they’re coming from an actual person
Inspires action – readers finish and actually do something with what you’ve shared

Real Wedding / Styled Shoot Submissions

If you are a member of the couple, wedding party or fam: please submit your wedding using this form.
If you are a wedding professional, please register to submit. You can also submit through “Two Bright Lights” – please search for “Love and Lavender”

Attention: Wedding Businesses and Potential Sponsors

If you’d like to promote a wedding business, product, or service to our readers, please create your page here.

Guest Post Submissions

We like to stay positive on the site. That being said, we’ve gotta get something off our chests. We receive MANY UNSOLICITED emails every week from SEO agencies or others who are just looking for backlinks.

If you are an SEO agency that is looking to place a 500-word article in exchange for a link – we do not want to hear from you.

We could all use a little extra help now and again, and Love & Lavender’s wedding blog is no different. We love top notch content to help fill out the content schedule. We know there are talented writers – either experienced or just starting out – who would love to submit work to broaden their online exposure. That’s why we are seeking high quality original articles from guest contributors.

We think it’s a win-win.

If you’d like to be considered as a guest blogger for Love & Lavender, please carefully read through the following information. Then email us.

How To Become A Wedding Blog Guest Contributor

It takes many talented writers to keep an online media property alive with fresh content these days. We welcome top notch writers to contribute original work to round out our content schedule. Whether you only want to submit one article or form an ongoing relationship with us by submitting many articles, we’d love to get to know you better.

What DO We Publish?

Simple: we look for the best possible content related to weddings and gifts! We want well-researched articles from writers who clearly have a way with words.

You wouldn’t serve guests at a dinner party a half-cooked meal — would you?

That would be embarrassing.

Similarly, don’t offer guest posts to other blogs that are half completed and that you know are NOT your best work. Spend the time to make it the most informative, lengthy, well researched, and complete article that you as a writer can produce.

Content Requirements

The article must be authored by a subject matter expert with unique personal experience.
The article must include non-stock images. AI generated images are not allowed.
- Required: At least 3 high-quality images (jpg or png, minimum 1200px wide)
- Preferred: 5–8 images for visual richness and engagement
- Can be your own photography, styled shots, or credited imagery (you must have permission)
- Keep files optimized for web (under 500KB each)
- Image credits: Include photographer name and link (if available) with each image
Content must align with our niche – weddings and gifts. The topic must be Pinterest-friendly. If your article focuses on something people do not search for on Pinterest, we cannot accept it.
Minimum length: 1200 words.
Include at least 6 external links to authoritative sources and reference your sources.
- You may include up to 2 relevant backlinks to your website or portfolio
- Links should flow naturally – readers should feel like you’re pointing them somewhere useful, not plugging yourself
- Keep self-promotion authentic; no multiple links to the same place
Only use brand or generic anchors. We can’t stress this enough. Brand, generic, or naked (URL) anchors only. Exact match commercial anchors will not be accepted.
Tone & Style:
- Conversational and honest – write like you’re talking to a friend, not a corporate newsletter
- Practical – give specific, implementable advice people can actually use
- Inclusive – think about different budgets, abilities, family structures, and backgrounds
- Warm but expert – you know your stuff, and you care about helping people, not selling them
Formatting:
- Clear headings (H2 and H3) to break up the text
- Short paragraphs (2–3 sentences max) so it’s easy to scan

An Overview of the Process

Here we go:

Read this page.
Email us (articles@) with your pitch. We receive a lot of requests so we outsourced guest post management to a digital marketing agency. Please allow them enough time to review and get back to you. If you do not hear back from them in 1-3 weeks, you have not been accepted.
If accepted, we will send you our content calendar. You can select a topic from there, or you can offer yours.
Once we agree on the topic, will set up a draft in Google Docs and invite you to the shared file.
You submit your article, and we check and either approve or ask to make changes.
Once approved, we will schedule your article. We publish no more than one guest blog post a week. Our content calendar is subject to change, which means guest posts are sometimes rescheduled.
We’ll let you know the final publish date/time so you can promote it.

Submission Disclaimer

When you submit work to Love & Lavender:

You grant your consent for us to publish your wedding blog submission on Love & Lavender and associated media properties.
You also grant your consent to let us edit your submission for length, tone, and clarity.
We can’t publish every article we receive and there are lots of factors that go into how we choose content to feature. Don’t be offended if your article doesn’t get published.
We don’t have a budget to pay guest contributors. However, we do link to your personal website if you wish. We do NOT link to business websites.
We generally don’t publish posts that have already appeared on other websites.
While we love reading each submission, we’re not able to publish every guest article that’s submitted. We aim to email you within three weeks if we are not able to use your article!
