Dear Readers, welcome to our first issue of 2025. This year is full of exciting celebrations, and we’re kicking it off with our first annual Special Wedding Issue. These pages are chock-full of inspiration and creativity, ranging from florals to desserts.
It was especially exciting for me to plan this issue because, as a recent bride who planned her own wedding, I know how personal and unique every detail can be. From finding the perfect gown to choosing the flavors for the wedding cake, each choice reflects your story.
This issue is dedicated to helping you bring your own vision to life, from the latest trends in menswear and tips for the big day to make planning a bit easier and area bakers who are creating unique treats. Plus, meet a Maple Grove couple who share imagery and details from their special day. So, whether you’re planning a wedding or dreaming about the future, I hope you find something here to inspire you.
Also in 2025, Maple Grove Magazine is thrilled to mark its 20th anniversary—we’ll honor it with special stories throughout the year. Were you featured in a previous issue and have an update to share? Do you have a story you’d like to see in these pages? Email me at hailey@localmedia.co.
See you next month!
