The Bermuda Tourism Authority and Style Me Pretty, one of the most prominent online resources for brides, have teamed up to profile Bermuda as a destination weddings location for the soon-to-wed.
Over the past month, through pictures and words, Style Me Pretty has been telling the story of a Bermuda destination wedding itinerary — from arrival to rehearsal dinner and then from wedding to honeymoon.
The multi-day, multi-platform content is playing out on the Style Me Pretty website and its social media channels, and a quick look on their Instagram account shows each Bermuda photo is attaining thousands of ‘likes’.
