Welcome to The Wedding Word


Hello and welcome to The Wedding Word!

My name is Cathy Demetropoulos and I am the Editor-at-Large for Chicago Bride magazine. My job is to bring you all things relevant to your big day and beyond from all across Chicago and the outlying suburbs. I will attend events, openings, renovations, review products and check out places both near and far so you don't have to. You have enough on your plate!

New venues? We got you covered. Honeymoon spots? We'll check them out for you. Latest trends and happenings in Chicagoland? We will bring them to you straight. In this blog, I'll cover what's new, exciting and relevant to the Chicagoland bridal scene just for you. Consider us your "other wedding planner"!

How do I know what you're looking for as a bride/groom preparing for one of the biggest days of your life? I was Editor-in-Chief for Chicago Bride for several years before leaving to pursue my other dream of working in media relations. I've got my finger on the pulse of what engaged couples are looking for - what's trending, what's new, what's different?

I look forward to bringing all of this and more to you!

If you have an event you'd like me to consider covering, please contact me at editor@chicagobridemagazine.com

Best of luck in your planning!
