YouTube celebrities Chelsea Briggs, Alexandrea Garza, and Meghan Rienks will help one winning couple with the wedding of their dreams. Collective Digital Studio teamed with Conde Nast’s BRIDES publication to help plan the ultimate destination wedding in the BRIDES Live Wedding web series, which debuted on May 29, 2015.
BRIDES Live Wedding was originally a live event; the magazine turned it into a digital series which garnered 6 million views in 2014. For this year’s BRIDES Live Wedding series, Briggs, who hosts the Hollywire TV YouTube channel (which boasts 1.1 million subscribers), will host each episode. Garza (with over 390,000 subscribers) is set to provide decor tips and Rienks (with 1.5 million subscribers) will help with beauty and hair so the lucky bride will feel and look her best on her wedding day.
For the rest of the BRIDES Live Wedding series, BRIDES editors will curate the wedding’s style, theme, honeymoon destination, and more. Fans across the country will be able to vote on these preferences, and with every vote BRIDES will donate funds to the winning couple’s charity of choice. Participating sponsors and vendors for the BRIDES Live Wedding series include David’s Bridal, Sandals Resorts, Delta Airlines, Carlo’s Bakery Gartner Studios, and Mary Kay.
