Trinidad Wed­dings has re­leased its high­ly-an­tic­i­pat­ed 10th An­niver­sary is­sue, avail­able now in both a high-qual­i­ty, print­ed edi­tion and an in­ter­ac­tive, dig­i­tal for­mat. This mile­stone edi­tion promis­es to be an es­sen­tial re­source for brides, grooms, wed­ding plan­ners and wed­ding en­thu­si­asts alike, packed with ex­clu­sive con­tent and in­no­v­a­tive fea­tures to cel­e­brate a decade of wed­ding in­spi­ra­tion.

TW Wed-Zine Mag­a­zine is a lead­ing pub­li­ca­tion in the wed­ding in­dus­try, ded­i­cat­ed to pro­vid­ing cou­ples with the in­spi­ra­tion and in­for­ma­tion they need to plan their per­fect day. With a fo­cus on help­ing the best brands and event ser­vice providers con­nect with those who need their ser­vices, TW Wed-Zine has be­come a trust­ed re­source for brides, grooms and wed­ding pro­fes­sion­als.

“We are in­cred­i­bly proud to cel­e­brate our 10th an­niver­sary with this spe­cial is­sue,” said Si­mone Sant-Ghu­ran, Ed­i­tor-in-Chief of TW Wed-Zine Mag­a­zine.

“Our goal has al­ways been to in­spire and em­pow­er cou­ples to cre­ate wed­dings that are unique­ly suit­ed to them. Our in­ter­ac­tive dig­i­tal edi­tion of­fers an even more dy­nam­ic and com­pre­hen­sive re­source for to­day’s tech-savvy cou­ples. We love con­nect­ing brides and grooms with rep­utable brands and wed­ding ven­dors by pro­vid­ing in­spi­ra­tion through re­al wed­dings, styl­ized shoots, pro­files on in­dus­try ex­perts and fea­ture ar­ti­cles.

“Over nine years of pub­lish­ing, we have worked with over 450 wed­ding ven­dors and brands (about 50 per is­sue). One of our philoso­phies is to on­ly use re­al brides on our cov­er. We want our brides to be able to re­late to some­one who looks like them. Even though we say we are for brides and grooms, the truth is, all walks of wom­an­hood come to TW Wed-Zine for in­spi­ra­tion, ideas, and of course - love sto­ries!”

In­ter­ac­tive Dig­i­tal Edi­tion

The dig­i­tal ver­sion of the 10th An­niver­sary is­sue takes wed­ding plan­ning to the next lev­el with its ful­ly in­ter­ac­tive for­mat. Read­ers can ex­plore over 80 hy­per­links to ven­dors, help­ful con­tent, and em­bed­ded video, pro­vid­ing a seam­less and en­gag­ing ex­pe­ri­ence. This in­no­v­a­tive ap­proach al­lows cou­ples to con­nect di­rect­ly with top wed­ding pro­fes­sion­als, brands and ac­cess a wealth of re­sources at their fin­ger­tips.

High-Qual­i­ty Print­ed Edi­tion

The print­ed mag­a­zine is a keep­sake-wor­thy pub­li­ca­tion, per­fect for brides and grooms look­ing for a use­ful re­source, as they plan their spe­cial day.

How did the mag­a­zine come in­to be­ing?

The mag­a­zine came about be­cause we want­ed to fea­ture more in-depth sto­ries and con­tent in an­oth­er medi­um, apart from on­line. The first test­ing of the wa­ters came in 2009 when we put out a dig­i­tal mag­a­zine is­sue on our web­site. We had hun­dreds and hun­dreds of down­loads and so, the fol­low­ing year, we de­cid­ed to do a hard­copy (print) and we called it the TW Wed-Zine ( a play on the words “wed­dings” and “mag­a­zine”).

The mag­a­zine is pub­lished once an­nu­al­ly. If I had to sum it up in a few words, I’d say we are a beau­ti­ful, thought­ful, mag­a­zine re­source for brides and grooms. Over nine years of pub­lish­ing, we have worked with over 450 wed­ding ven­dors and brands (about 50 per is­sue).

Over time, we have care­ful­ly built our mag­a­zine brand; and it’s al­ways a joy to dis­cov­er that our read­ers love our “voice” and care­ful­ly-cu­rat­ed con­tent. One of our philoso­phies is to on­ly use re­al brides on our cov­er. We want our brides to be able to re­late to some­one who looks like them. Even though we say we are for brides and grooms, the truth is, all walks of wom­an­hood come to TW Wed-Zine for in­spi­ra­tion, ideas, and of course -love sto­ries!

Peo­ple al­so al­ways ask if our pub­li­ca­tion is “for­eign” - maybe be­cause they wrong­ly as­so­ciate high-qual­i­ty with “not be­ing from Trinidad and To­ba­go,” and I am al­ways very proud to say that we are 100 per cent pro­duced in Trinidad and To­ba­go.

How has Trinidad

Wed­dings been a pi­o­neer in the wed­ding in­dus­try?

Many ini­tia­tives that are com­mon­place now in the wed­ding in­dus­try would have been things we pi­o­neered years ago like: wed­ding blog­ging, on­line list­ings, train­ing and net­work­ing events for wed­ding ven­dors, bridal events, wed­ding coach­ing and hav­ing a wed­ding mag­a­zine for dig­i­tal down­load.

For ex­am­ple, the first year our mag­a­zine was avail­able for dig­i­tal down­load sale (com­mer­cial­ly) to cus­tomers both in and out­side of Trinidad & To­ba­go, was way back in 2013! Nowa­days, that’s nor­mal but we were al­ways ahead of the curve.

We are the on­ly brand serv­ing the T&T wed­ding mar­ket with a com­pre­hen­sive suite of ser­vices across ma­jor me­dia – print, web­site and so­cial me­dia. We take great pride in hav­ing the high­est ra­tio of qual­i­ty ed­i­to­r­i­al to ad­ver­tis­ing place­ments in our is­sues.
