30+ years serving the Wedding Industry!
From our first issue in October 1989, we have concentrated on creating a community of bridal and wedding retailers and consultants, apparel and accessory manufacturers, media and reps by providing industry insights and concise discussions on all things Bridal and Prom retail-related, with periodic reviews of season style and design trends.
Published in print and digitally six times a year, the VOWS magazine team is comprised of longtime specialty audience and publishing professionals including:
Editor in Chief Shannon Hurd
Shannon oversees the editorial content and direction of VOWS and its platforms, and often writes on social media and the intersection of business and life, as well as insightful discussions on the different facets of the business of bridal. A Colorado native and die-hard Rockies fan, Shannon's natural curiosity and ability to connect with all she interviews results in creative expressions with an authentic tone.
Her current and past blog posts can be found here.
Creative Director Karl Nazarro
Karl is an award winning designer and artist working within the graphic arts and ceramic sculpturing worlds. He continues to be the heart and soul of VOWS print and digital magazine and collateral material design, and has been since the earliest days of VOWS' creation.
Publisher Peter Grimes
Since founding VOWS magazine in September, 1990, Grimes has worked with teams of dedicated and talented individuals who have each given VOWS its unique voice and presentation. This dedication to staff and the audience he serves is readily apparent in the professional, upbeat and credible content of VOWS.
Prior to the development of VOWS, his professional experience includes creation of successful trade and b-to-b publications, supplements, and e-brochures in the home furnishings, transportation, personal care and (currently) bridal retail categories. In addition to VOWS he currently strives to create creative approaches to company b-to-b branding through specialty publications and contract publishing.
