Why write content for the Story Amour wedding blog?
We’re very passionate about the wedding industry and inspiring couples around the world to have the best day of their lives. Our aim is to find like minded individuals looking to share their knowledge of the wedding industry with our readers.
We love to share work from wedding suppliers and help our couples on their wedding planning journey. From those very basic bits of information that every couple wants to know. Right through to the bespoke elements that make a wedding truly unique to a couple.
- Unlike many other websites we don’t charge contributors for guest posts. This ensures we can keep our content of the highest possible standard. We will provide guest post writers with a do follow link as well as crediting them in all social media posts.
- If you’re a supplier being featured on our wedding blog it will earn you the trust of your clients by demonstrating that you’re an expert within the wedding industry.
- You’ll get extra traffic to your website/socials and eyes on your business or product that otherwise wouldn’t be there.
- Additional content to post on social media and share with your following demonstrating your expertise.
- Backlinks to your website that could improve the overall seo of your site.
For us it’s all about the story
If you want to increase your chances of getting your guest post accepted your article will have to be creative and informative. At the same time an element of fun with real world experiences is what our readers love to see.
Fun, emotional and overcoming adversity will always pique our interest. Your guest post needs to inspire and capture the imagination of our couples.
If you’re a couple looking to share your experiences of your big day we want to hear from you. We love to share real stories with our readers. Tell us stories from the lead up to the engagement right through to the first dance and honeymoon. Funny stories from the day such as this one from Laura and Reece will improve your chances of success:
“We drove our cars on the 40 minute journey to the venue the day BEFORE the wedding so that we had a mode of transport to get home on the day after the wedding. However, I didn’t realise that I had left my wedding shoes in the boot of my car! Meaning that on the morning of the wedding someone had to make the 1 and 1/2 hour journey to collect my shoes! Whoops. They were rewarded handsomely with free drinks for the rest of the day!”
We want to hear everything. Don’t hold back.

Guest Post Submission Process
Email us if you have an idea for a wedding blog guest post that you think our readers will love.
There will be some back and forth about how we think the article should shape up.
If you’re happy to proceed we will create a shared google doc that you can use. This allows us to add comments to specific suggestions to the article if required.
Once you’ve written your awesome article we will add it to our schedule of guest posts. We don’t provide guarantee of when the article you’ve written will be published. Furthermore, we try to make the publishing time relevant to the season and also cohesive with our other content.
We will let you know when the article will be live closer to the time so that you can prepare to share across your social channels.
Wedding Guest Post Disclaimers

When you submit an article for publication on Story Amour you are granting your consent for us to publish it on our website. You also agree to not submit the same article to any other blog until we have either accepted or rejected the work.
Please don’t be deterred if we refuse one of your articles. There are a number of reasons that can affect an article being rejected and more often than not it comes down to bad timing. We will likely offer you the chance to wait it out until we can schedule it in our calendar.
If we love your writing style we will be sure to let you know.
We get hundreds of wedding blog guest post requests per month. We simply cannot post every article without our blog’s quality suffering. As a result we only pick the creme de la creme as we try to build a reputation for the best wedding blog content around.
