Love & Lavender.
We reach over 4 million couples, gift-givers, and wedding planners a month — people actively planning their celebrations. If you have something worth saying about weddings, engagements, or meaningful gifts, we want your voice on our platform.
Our audience.
Real couples actively planning their wedding. All posts published on our wedding blog are promoted via social media channels.
Love & Lavender has been one of the top wedding blogs online since our virtual doors opened back in early 2010.
To your personal site or portfolio, included in your article.
Rustic, vintage, whimsical.
We love outdoor weddings, garden parties, and celebrations that feel personal and unhurried. Rustic barns, lavender fields, candlelit venues — that’s our sweet spot.
That said, our posts range from how-to guides and vendor advice to personal essays and opinion pieces on a wide variety of wedding topics. If it genuinely helps someone plan a beautiful day, we want it.
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).

- Can be your own photography, styled shots, or credited imagery — you must have permission.
- Keep files optimised for web (under 500KB each).

- Minimum length: 1,200 words.
- Include at least 6 external links to authoritative sources and reference your sources.

Formatting
