BRIDES

And the 2026 @mintedweddings + @brides color of the year is...Island Citrus! A nod to sun-drenched canopies, succulent native fruits, and vibrant flora and fauna, this zesty hue embodies paradise. Imagine a splash of citrus on invitations, in floral arrangements, or even sprinkled into your guest dress code. Whether in grand or finer expressions, Island Citrus will illuminate your day.

“For our Love Issue, we’re celebrating a story that feels both timeless and entirely of this moment. On the cover, Whitney and Conner Leavitt honor their 10 years of marriage—a milestone defined not just by longevity, but growth and reinvention. Fresh off Whitney’s incredible performance on Dancing With the Stars, and as she storms the Broadway stage as Roxie Hart in Chicago, the couple reflects on the kind of united love that evolves alongside singular purpose. Whitney and Conner are pop culture obsessives. So, Inspired by the three iconic TV couples, #ILoveLucy’s Lucy and Ricky, #Cheers’ Diane and Sam, and #TheOffice’s Jim and Pam, our shoot pays homage to both classic romance and modern love. In partnership with @generationtux (which Conner wears so elegantly on the cover), The Love Issue is a celebration of commitment, creativity, and choosing each other—again and again.” — GM of @BRIDES , @gouldhallie Credits 🤍 Talent: @whitleavitt and Conner Leavitt GM: @gouldhallie Writer: @lindysegal Photographer: @ericmichaelroy Special thanks to: @generationtux Director: @benjamingeorgesouth Makeup: @facesbydanii Hair: @hairbyalisonfarfan Nails: @yukie_miyakawa_nails Stylists: @elizayerry @lillycnielsen Grooming: @lyndaesparza Set Designer: @wantedpdinc Beauty Direction: @gouldhallie Creative Director: @jennabrillhart Photo Director: @kellychiello Art Director: @meandmissjones Social Director: @yagirlstar Social Editor: @uhrayofsunshine Talent Booker: @jasonsheeler

In the city where every chapter of their love story was written, @itsgivingjamesvibes and @kevinscottsmith said “I do.”🗽 James and Kevin chose New York City as their wedding destination because it’s where they built their life together. Their ceremony took place at the iconic Bryant Park Grill overlooking the park. Their portraits taken across the city made it feel like they were the only two people there. Every detail felt deeply personal and full-circle for the couple.
