Carolina is always on our minds When you truly love something, you just want to show it off. That’s how we feel about the Carolinas and that is why we began The Carolinas Magazine. Our publication is the curation of the most important things in life, enjoyed right here in North and South Carolina: weddings, culinary experiences, family, and travel. Our content comes straight from the folks who love North and South Carolina – real weddings, recipes and meal ideas, and honeymoon and vacation destinations. The most beautiful photos, insightful tips, creative content, and much more awaits to stoke your curiosities and enliven your adventurous spirits. From the pages of our magazine and the blog posts on our site, we’re putting the opportunity to visit across the region in your hands, giving you a chance to explore what’s waiting for you right here in Carolina –a place to get married, a place to celebrate, a place to explore…. the place that we call “home.”
"After working on Trendy Bride for many years, I’m so excited to bring you this new regional publication. As a North Carolina resident, I’m passionate about bringing something fresh and unique to the Carolinas, a place to usher in new ideas while honoring the strong traditions steeped in our Southern roots. This publication aims to provide wedding and travel inspiration that speaks directly to North and South Carolinians. Browse throughout our website for the latest real weddings, styled shoots, wedding tips and more from around the region.” -Carl & Michelle Butler John 3:16
