Planning a Wedding? Read These 8 Stories in the Latest Issue of The Knot

To ensure couples are getting as much out of the wedding planning magazine as possible, we shifted to a Special Interest Publication that follows the wedding journey. This issue of The Knot Magazine is The Inspiration Issue that will spark creative ideas for newly engaged couples early in the planning process. We've also debuted a wedding magazine subscription so you can receive every issue of The Knot Magazine published during the year. Whether you sign up for The Knot Magazine subscription or purchase just one issue, couples can be on the lookout for The Planning Issue and The Celebration Issue later this year.

The new format of The Knot Magazine as a Special Interest Publication means that every issue isn't just a magazine you can read once and toss. Rather, it is a bespoke heirloom that includes interactive elements (like checklists and journaling pages) and it can serve as your planning partner throughout your entire engagement season.

In addition to content specific to inspiration in The Inspiration Issue (like an interactive guide to creating your own wedding mood board), this issue of The Knot Magazine also contains mainstays couples can expert in every issue of the wedding magazine. We cover everything from an overview of the planning tools you need while engaged to must-know tips from top experts and wedding vendors. We also dive into wedding fashion and beauty trends by highlighting of-the-moment wedding dresses, hairstyles and more to inspire your dream wedding vision.
